A Buffy sequel is within the works 22 years after it completed airing, and the unique star behind it Sarah Michelle Gellar is actually feeling the burden of it.
Earlier this month, a reboot/ revival/ sequel collection to Buffy the Vampire Slayer was lastly set into movement at Hulu with the order of a pilot episode, an clearly huge deal contemplating simply how huge the collection was again within the day, and form of nonetheless is. So, in fact followers of it can have some fairly excessive expectations, and chatting with Individuals, it is clear that Sarah Michelle Gellar is fairly conscious of their response to the information. The actor did describe the reboot as “thrilling,” however mentioned that she wished “there was a greater phrase than overwhelming. It is heartwarming and thrilling and likewise extremely nerve-wracking on the similar time.”
Gellar continued to clarify that it is “nerve-wracking” as a result of “you must do it proper.” Fortunately, in her eyes, the precise proper crew is in place to do exactly that. “I believe now we have this crew in place that’s legendary, from Chloé Zhao to the Zucks [Nora and Lilla Zuckerman], to Gail Berman. And I believe individuals are going to be fairly impressed.” Zhao actually has some pedigree below her belt on condition that she directed that a number of Oscar profitable 2020 movie Nomadland (she additionally directed Eternals, which was naff, however I will put that right down to Marvel greater than her).
Whereas we do not know what precise plot particulars for the brand new Buffy collection are simply but, we do know that Gellar shall be reprising her function, in addition to serving as govt producer on the collection. Funnily sufficient, Dolly Parton is again to supply it by her manufacturing firm Sandollar Leisure, as a result of sure, that very same firm produced the unique. Bizarre! However actually enjoyable.
