‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Revival Replacement Fixes Hulu’s Canceled Series

Fans were excited when Hulu approved a pilot for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival, titled Buffy: New Sunnydale. The new series would have starred Ryan Kiera Armstrong as a younger slayer, with Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as a mentor, similar to the role Giles played. Set years after the original series ended, the show would have rebuilt Sunnydale on the ruins of the town last seen in the finale. With an Academy Award-winning director, Chloé Zhao, at the helm of the pilot, the revival seemed promising. Unfortunately, Hulu canceled the show before it could move forward. However, a new project is coming that aims to address a key weakness of the cancelled revival.
