Cue the Nerf Herder guitar riff: A Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot is in the offing.
Hulu is developing a follow-up to the cult favorite series, with original star Sarah Michelle Gellar attached. The new project comes from writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face, Fringe) and 20th Television and is described as “the next chapter in the Buffyverse.” Oscar winner Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, Eternals) is set to direct.
Hulu and 20th TV declined comment.
Sources say the new Buffy would focus on a younger Slayer and that Gellar’s Buffy Summers would not be the central character. Although Buffy lore dictated that only one Slayer could exist at a time, its final season upended that notion with the awakening of hundreds of potential Slayers for the show’s endgame.
