– Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been chosen as the next advisor, and Sarah Michelle Gellar will repeat her role as Buffy Summers. She will also serve as an executive producer
– The launch date, the trailer or the details of the plot have not yet been revealed
TO Buffy The Vampire Slayer The spin -off series of sequel is officially under development. After years of playing with the possibility of restarting one of the best television series of all time, the series is finally on their way to a pilot ordered by Hulu, one of the best transmission services.
News of a Buffy The Vampire Slayer The restart series arrived for the first time in February when it was announced that the series would return after 20 years. At the time of the ad, the winner of Oscar ChloƩ Zhao (Nomadic) was appointed program director, and Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poquer face) They were announced as writers.
The next big question was whether the advisor Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played the role of Buffy Summers, would return. And in summary, yes, Gellar will return to Sunnydale, joining the team as an executive producer, but what about the original production production team?
The original 90 program was written and directed by Joss Whedon, who in 2021 was accused of creating a toxic work environment on the set of the program, as well as his Spin -off series Angel. Therefore, it is confirmed that Whedon will not return to work in the next chapter at Buffyverse. That said, original Buffy The Vampire Slayer Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton producers (yes, he Dolly Parton) everyone will return.
It is still early in the production of Spin -off, but we have had our ears on the ground when it comes to all recent updates on the program. Here is everything we know about the next chapter of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Complete spoilers are still for Buffy The Vampire Slayer Seasons 1-7.
Speculation of launch dates
Although the pilot is currently in the early stages of production and a new lead slayer has been launched, an exact launch date has not yet been determined. According to IMDB, it is announced that it will be published next year, but again, an official announcement has not yet been made, so we would not rule out 2027.
The predicted cast
In addition to entering the place of the executive producer, Sarah Michelle Gellar will also repeat his role as Buffy Summers. However, this time, Buffy will not be in the center of the restart. Instead, Buffy will be a recurring character and a new Slayer will be the focus, and have found it.
In May, it was revealed that the young actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong would assume the main role in the sequelae series. Gellar told the news that he armed himself by sharing the announcement through an Instagram reel where he said ‘Welcome to The New Sunnydale’, a possible assent for the title of the program maybe?
Before noting the role as the next Slayer of this generation, Armstrong began his career in productions of some of the best transmission services, including the Disney+ series Star Wars: Skeleton crewand Netflix’s Anne with an e.
Until now, Armstrong and Gellar are the only names attached to the confirmed cast of the spin -off. But although we still expect more names to come out, Gellar has expressed his desire to bring Buffy’s characters sharing with Vanity Fair Italy “my dream is to bring all those who have died back, but the space will also have to be made for new stories.”
If Gellar’s dream is agreed, there are a lot of characters from Buffy who could resurrect, but the fandom will certainly have his favorites: Joyce Summers is one of the favorites, who died in the fifth season.
Other names that could arise from Jenny Calendar, who suffered a ridiculous death at the hands of Angel in the second season, Tara, who was shot in front of his Willow lover in the sixth season, and even Anya who died during the final moments of the final episode. But however exciting that this may seem, it has not been confirmed.
Plot rumors
Similar to its release date, we are not exactly sure which direction the program will take in terms of the plot, however, the restart has been described as ‘The next chapter in the Buffyverse,’ says Deadline. In addition, Sarah Michelle Gellar also revealed to Vanity Fair that the restart “will be lighter than the last seasons of the original,” and added “we will try to find a balance between the new and old characters.”
Even so, it does not reveal much about which direction the restart will go on the plot. That said, TV Line shared details about a possible scheme of the plot, which we are taking with a pinch of salt for now.
According to the exit, the new Slayer will bow more in Willow’s characteristics, Buffy’s shy but intellectual partner with a gift for witchcraft instead of the combat personality, Buffy style. TV Line also said that the new Slayer could be called Nova, although he admits that this could be a position marker name until more details are revealed.
Another speculation is around Slayer’s new group of friends, which TV Line says that it could replicate a similar to the ‘gang scoo’ of the original series consisting of Buffy, Xander, Willow, Buffy’s Watcher Giles and other recurring characters that depend on the season. The television line states that the new ‘Scobies’ will be ‘Hugo, a nerd and borrowed that comes from money, and Gracie, a young vampire expert who is a gellar’s acolyte’s buffy’.
Alternatively, there is another address that the plot could take. Despite the golden rule that there is only one murderer at the same time, Hulu’s restart could turn this over his head and explore the possibilities of having multiple murderers, as his end of season did. But this is simply a personal hypothesis.
