Sarah Michelle Gellar shares her doubts about the Buffy revival - and why she signed on board
Briefly

The announcement of a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series sparked mixed reactions among fans, with original star Sarah Michelle Gellar expressing similar reservations. In an Instagram post, Gellar conveyed her commitment to ensuring the show's quality before proceeding. She shared her initial doubts but was inspired after a conversation with potential executive producer Chloé Zhao. Gellar emphasized her dedication to honoring Buffy’s legacy and confirmed that progress is being made toward realizing the project, hoping to meet fan expectations while preserving the franchise's essence.
I told Gail that I just didn't see a way for the show to exist again. We'd always been aligned on that, but this time I heard something different in her voice.
This has been a long process, and it's not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right.
This 'twenty minute coffee quickly turned into a four hour adventure.' We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this series means to us.
I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit 'Buffy' and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right.
