Sarah Michelle Gellar discusses the anticipated reboot of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' revealing her initial hesitation and eventual eagerness to return. Confirming Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new lead against vampires, Gellar emphasizes a lighter tone for the reboot and the intention to modernize its themes, especially in the context of social media. With a three-year development process, Gellar expresses a desire to reconnect with past characters while also integrating fresh narratives, although the original creator, Joss Whedon, is absent from the new project due to serious allegations against him.
For so many years, I said no to a possible return. I didn't want to reintroduce something we had already seen, I waited for the right time to come.
The gestation was long. It's been three years and we're still working on it.
We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who died but space will have to be made for new stories as well.
The producers wanted to modernise the themes of the series... especially what it means to feel like an outsider in a world dominated by social media.
