Sarah Michelle Gellar is Now Open to Return For a ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Reboot: ‘We Need Those Heroes, I Think, More So Than Ever’

As a dedicated fan of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” I must say that Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s potential return to the universe is nothing short of exhilarating! Her journey, from playing the iconic role of Buffy Summers to the diverse array of roles she’s taken on since then, has been a testament to her versatility and dedication as an actress.

Previously dismissing the notion, Sarah Michelle Gellar has now expressed her willingness to re-enter the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” universe.

On “The Drew Barrymore Show,” I, as a former Buffy, have mused about the possibility of stepping back into her shoes for a potential new venture.

Previously, I’d always refused, as it was already in its ideal state, Gellar shared on the talk show. But after viewing ‘[And Just Like That…]’ and ‘[Dexter: Original Sin]’, I began to consider that there might indeed be viable options for change, making me ponder, ‘Perhaps I should reconsider.’

Gellar noted that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” might not strictly have to be a prequel, instead offering various other compelling storylines to explore.

Gellar noted that it could encompass anything, essentially making it a whole universe. This perspective underscores the fact that in today’s world, having heroes around seems increasingly vital and important.

2023 saw the Golden Globe nominee voice her disinterest in participating in a “Buffy” reboot, as reported by SFX Magazine through IndieWire.

Gellar expressed great pride in the show they produced, stating there’s no need for a return as the character because they’ve already concluded it satisfactorily,” or simply, “Gellar is proud of the show and feels it’s been properly concluded, so there’s no need to reprise the role.

In the upcoming “Dexter” prequel series titled “Dexter: Original Sin,” Gellar will make her next appearance. Additionally, she acted in “Wolf Pack” which was released in 2023.

From 1997 to 2003, the TV series known as ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ was on air. This show was based on the 1992 movie with an identical title. The story revolved around Buffy, portrayed by Gellar, a teenage girl who had the duty of battling against vampires and other malicious beings.
