The actress who portrayed the character in the 90s series confirmed that the reboot is being developed by the Hulu streaming platform. Sarah Michelle Gellar took the opportunity to announce the next lead actress.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” aired its last episode in May 2003.
In an emotional video posted to her Instagram on Thursday (15), Sarah Michelle Gellar spoke with Ryan Kiera Armstrong, 15, to announce that she was chosen to star in the new version of Buffy.
“How do you feel about helping me save the world? Do you want to be my chosen one?” asked the actress from “Scooby-Doo” during the video call. Armstrong, completely moved, accepted the role.
“I’m so excited to be by your side and have you as my partner on this journey,” continued Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Even at just 15 years old, Armstrong already has big productions on her resume, such as “Firestarter” and “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.” She has also worked with stars like Zac Efron, Jude Law, Chris Pratt, and Nicolas Cage.
Sarah Michelle Gellar will be in the reboot as Buffy but will serve as a mentor instead of a vampire slayer. Production has not yet started, but the news has excited fans.
“This is so touching. Sarah, you’re so kind and supportive. You made her day, and ours!” said one of them.
