Overview
- Sarah Michelle Gellar announced on Instagram that Hulu is not moving forward with the planned Buffy continuation series.
- A pilot was filmed last summer with Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new Slayer, alongside Sarah Bock, Faly Rakotohavana, Ava Jean, Daniel di Tomasso and Jack Cutmore-Scott.
- Gellar was expected to return as Buffy Summers in a recurring role and serve as an executive producer.
- The project had been in development since February 2025 with Chloé Zhao directing and Nora and Lilla Zuckerman writing, with EPs including Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton.
- Hulu declined to comment on the decision, and multiple reports say the company is exploring next steps with the IP and that the door remains open to future iterations.
