Sarah Michelle Gellar's return as Buffy is a dream come true for many fans out there, and seemed unlikely for years. It would be impossible to imagine any reboot without her, as so much of the show's success can be attributed to her complicated and moving performance as the titular Vampire Slayer.

According to Deadline, our favorite vampire slayer is set to return in Hulu’s upcoming sequel to the ever-popular Buffy The Vampire Slayer series. The pilot also boasts writing credits from Poker Face writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman and will be directed by Chloé Zhao, the Academy Award-winning director of Nomadland.
