Sarah Michelle Gellar dropped some sad news about a potential Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot during a recent appearance on On with Mario Lopez podcast. When asked about the project, Gellar told host Mario Lopez that she won’t be a part of it as she’s “long in the tooth for that.”

Gellar played the titular role in the original series that went on for seven seasons before wrapping up in 2003. She also portrayed the character of Buffy Summers in the show’s spin-off Angel on several occasions.

While Gellar would like to see the story of Buffy The Vampire Slayer continue, the 43-year-old actress thinks someone younger would be more fit for that task.

“I don’t think it’s me, I don’t think I should be the one doing it,” she added.

During its original run, Buffy The Vampire Slayer was considered one of the best shows on television and is still frequently a part of “The Best TV Shows” lists. It had a significant influence on television and culture, being considered the “most studied pop culture work by academics.”

There has been chatter about the show’s reboot for the better part of the past decade, with the project officially being announced in 2018. Since then, however, there haven’t been many follow-up details.

James Masters, the actor who played Spike in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series has revealed that he would reprise his role as the infamous vampire—but he has conditions.

Masters played the platinum-haired punk vampire in the original “Buffy” series. Spike entered the series as a supervillain and his storyline eventually lead to him becoming one of the most-loved characters on the show.

More than twenty years on, during an interview with Inside of You, host Michael Rosenbaum asked Masters whether he would ever consider reprising his role.

“I told Joss, whether it’s one line or 50, I’d come, no matter where I was in the world,” Marsters told Inside of You. “But if he wanted to film me doing Spike, he had seven years, because I’m aging and Spike’s a vampire, and I don’t want to play an aged Spike…

“If there was a way, or if Spike was always in vampire face. Then that might work.”

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Those vampires won’t slay themselves.

A whole 20 years after being introduced to Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show is getting a reboot.

The original series — based on a movie of the same name — was the brainchild of Joss Whedon and lasted 7 seasons starring Sarah as the titular character, as well as David Boreanaz, Alyson Hannigan, Michelle Trachtenberg, and James Marsters.

Whedon will return as executive producer for the reboot being made by Fox 21 TV Studios, while Charmed and Alias writer, Monica Owusu-Breen, has been tapped as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner.

The pair has previously worked together on ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which Whedon co-created and executive produced/directed and Owusu-Breen co-executive produced.

The new Slayer is expected to be African American, with the series once again using supernatural metaphors for issues facing society.

What would Buffy do?

There are people who think the cult supernatural drama Buffy the Vampire Slayer should not be disturbed with revivals and reboots, as many shows do these days. Fox boss Gary Newman isn’t one of them. Speaking at INTV Conference in Jerusalem, Newman expressed his desire to bring back Buffy the Vampire Slayer to TV, while also acknowledging that the revival won’t happen without the series creator, Joss Whedon.

“I think if you look in our library, ‘Buffy’ is probably the most ripe show we have for bringing back,” Newman said. “It’s something we talk about frequently, and Joss Whedon is really one of the greatest creators we ever worked with. When Joss decides it’s time, we’ll do it. And until Joss decides it’s time, it won’t happen.”

Fox isn’t a stranger to reviving its old shows since the network successfully did revivals for The X-Files, 24 and Prison Break. Still, Newman claims that the network isn’t the one initiating those projects, but the creators of the shows.

“Most times when we brought things back, it started with the creator coming to us and saying I’ve got another story I want to tell,” he said. “It seems to me that if there isn’t a real sense of nostalgia, a passionate fan base demonstrating they still want it then I don’t really buy bringing these shows back.”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered in 1997 on The WB and revolved around a young high-school cheerleader Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who discovers she has skills to fight vampires, demons and other forces of darkness. The show received a widespread critical acclaim during its original run and is now regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all times.

If we weren’t feeling old before, here’s a reminder that Buffy the Vampire Slayer hit our screens 21 years ago!

Long before vampires sparkled in the sun, Sarah Michelle Gellar kicked butt as Buffy Summers whose mission was to rid her hometown of Sunnydale of evil vampires, demons, and other dark forces.

The series, created by Joss Whedon, ran between 1997 and 2003 and was praised for its depiction of strong female leads.

Now, Buffy herself has acknowledged the feminism of the show by putting an anniversary post on Instagram that also featured some never-before-seen photos from the set of the supernatural dramedy.

Sarah partly captioned the post with, “I have always believed that the world is changed by your example, not by your opinion,” which her character proved many times and still serves as great advice.

Other stars of the series also paid tribute, including Charisma Carpenter who played Cordelia Chase:

And Buffy’s little sister, Dawn, portrayed by Michelle Trachtenberg:

We think that 21 years later is a great time for the cast to start thinking about revisiting Sunnydale… but until then, we’ll be rewatching our BTVS boxsets.
