Overview
- Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reunited to present at the Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept. 14, 2026, walking the red carpet together and presenting Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
- Onstage, Boreanaz joked that he thought Buffy and Angel would end up together and Gellar replied, “Well, I guess we won’t find out,” a pointed reference to Hulu’s decision not to move forward with a filmed pilot earlier this year.
- Gellar used the moment to acknowledge recent losses to the Buffy family, saying it had been a difficult two years for cast and crew after the deaths of Michelle Trachtenberg, Nicholas Brendon and Anthony Head.
- The planned Hulu reboot, which had a pilot directed by Chloé Zhao and would have featured Ryan Kiera Armstrong, was officially not picked up in March 2026, and Gellar has said an executive’s admitted unfamiliarity with the original complicated efforts to advance the project.
- The reunion refocused public attention on Buffy’s 30-year legacy, fueling strong fan reaction online while leaving the series’ future unresolved and no new revival announced.
