Buffy Reboot Died in the Pilot, With Hints of a Future Revival

Hulu has canceled Buffy: New Sunnydale, the planned Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot produced with Chloé Zhao and Sarah Michelle Gellar, after a pilot was deemed unsalvageable. Variety reports the original script centered on a new, younger Slayer and that Zhao’s direction and the performances were criticized, with a named executive ( Craig Erwich ) cited as not supporting the project. Gellar urged fans not to read leaked scripts, while Disney/Hulu issued damage control and left open the possibility of reviving the revival with a new creative team; the Buffy IP is not expected to move to another platform, at least for now.

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.
