Buffy Reboot Abandoned Over Executive Pushback

Sarah Michelle Gellar says Hulu canceled the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival after an executive who openly admitted he wasn’t a fan of the original, derailing a project she and Chloe Zhao had been developing with Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new Slayer; the decision, reportedly by Disney TV Group President Craig Erwich, left Gellar gutted and fans hopeful for a future revival in Sunnydale.

Buffy Reboot Slayed: Hulu Passes on New Sunnydale Return

Deadline reports that Buffy: New Sunnydale, the high-profile reboot starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and directed by Chloé Zhao, was not picked up by Hulu after a rewritten, 90-minute pilot. The Friday-night decision, linked to cost or scale concerns and attributed to an executive (likely Craig Erwich), blindsided an industry already buzzing about the project. Gellar publicly criticized an executive who admitted not watching the original. The Buffy IP remains in play for a future revival under leadership changes at Hulu/20th TV, with some hoping the concept can be retooled years down the line.
