Gellar Urges Buffy Fans to Respect Reboot and Skip Leaks

Sarah Michelle Gellar, promoting her new horror film, says she hopes the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot pilot doesn’t leak and urges fans not to read leaked scripts, explaining that pilots are learning tools and not a finished product; she stresses the reboot deserves respect and notes a version circulating isn’t the final vision, while acknowledging reports that the pilot wasn’t strong and Disney canceled the project. She also calls out an executive who admitted not being a fan of the original and suggests fans celebrate Buffy by streaming the original and supporting her new film.

Buffy Reboot Dropped Over Exec’s Bias, Gellar Says

Sarah Michelle Gellar says Hulu/Disney’s Buffy: New Sunnydale was canceled by an executive who disliked Buffy and reportedly hadn’t watched the original; Disney TV Group president Craig Erwich was the ultimate decision-maker, with sources noting the pilot wasn’t strong even after a rewrite, leading to no reshoot or series order. Gellar and Zhao remain disappointed but acknowledge Disney owns the Buffy IP, so the project can’t be shopped elsewhere, and Gellar also praised the on-set performance of Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

Buffy Reboot at Hulu Not Moving Forward, Gellar Confirms Sad News

Hulu has shelved the Buffy reboot project, with Sarah Michelle Gellar confirming on Instagram that Hulu will not move forward with Buffy: New Sunnydale. The pilot, directed/executive produced by Chloé Zhao and announced in 2025, would have cast Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new Slayer while Gellar reprised Buffy in a recurring role. Joss Whedon was not involved, and although the reboot won’t move forward, the door remains open for future Buffy IP iterations.
