On Feb 6, 2025, Gellar posted the following on Instagram to address the news reported earlier in the week that another Buffy revival was nearing a pilot order from Hulu.Gellar recounts being approached by producer Gail Berman (exec producer on Buffy throughout its run, and a powerhouse in US television perhaps unfairly famed among Whedon fans as having been the FOX exec to pull the plug on Firefly) to meet with the director of Best Picture Oscar winner Nomadland (and the less-feted Marvels Eternals) Chlo Zhao to hear her take on a potential Buffy revival. Gellar took the meeting, enjoyed it, agreed to nothing there-and-then but kept the conversation going. Talks continued, Poker Face writer-producers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman were added to their creative team, and, as Gellar puts it in her Insta post, ultimately, one day, we landed on an idea. She continued:I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit Buffy and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right. This has been a long process, and its not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there.I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love Buffy as much as I do. And as much as you do. Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.Immediately underneath Gellars post was an endorsement from actor Emma Caulfield, who played ex-demon Anya in Buffy seasons three to seven, and who called Gellars words Perfect. So, Anyas into it.There are so many questions to ask about a Buffy TV revival. Would the show will ignore the comic books series that continued the story? Which of the original cast would return (Nicholas Brendon, who played Xander Harris on the show, has had a string of arrests and charges for drugs and violent behaviour including domestic violence in recent years)? If actors James Marsters and David Boreanaz were to come back as their non-ageing vampire characters Spike and Angel, would they be digitally de-aged to cover up the 20-odd years that have passed since last we saw them, and if so, would it look weird?
