A Buffy sequel is within the works 22 years after it completed airing, and the unique star behind it Sarah Michelle Gellar is definitely feeling the load of it.
Earlier this month, a reboot/ revival/ sequel collection to Buffy the Vampire Slayer was lastly set into movement at Hulu with the order of a pilot episode, an clearly huge deal contemplating simply how large the collection was again within the day, and type of nonetheless is. So, in fact followers of it’s going to have some fairly excessive expectations, and talking to Individuals, it is clear that Sarah Michelle Gellar is fairly conscious of their response to the information. The actor did describe the reboot as “thrilling,” however stated that she wished “there was a greater phrase than overwhelming. It is heartwarming and thrilling and in addition extremely nerve-wracking on the identical time.”
