A reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is in the works, and fans have mixed reactions. The new series will feature Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Buffy Summers in the original show, but she won’t be the central character. Instead, the focus will be on a younger Slayer. This new direction follows the finale of the original series, which hinted that there could be many Slayers, not just one.
Hulu Developing the Reboot
Hulu is developing the reboot, which will be produced by 20th Television and Searchlight TV. The pilot episode will be directed by Chloé Zhao, known for Eternals, with the script written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, the writers of Poker Face. However, Joss Whedon, the original creator, will not be involved due to past allegations of misconduct.
Fans' Mixed Reactions
Fans have had a divided response. Some are excited to see Buffy’s universe continue, while others are skeptical. Many are disappointed that Gellar won’t be the main character, and some even worry that the reboot could ruin the original series, especially without Whedon’s involvement.
