After over 20 years of living in a world without a chosen Slayer, Hulu had decided to right that wrong by bringing back Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the genre-bending, brilliant series with an empowered female hero who understood why it was stupid to go to battle in a skirt.

The actress, who led the original series for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, is reprising her role as Buffy Summers in the reboot. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong has also been cast in the new Hulu series as a new young Slayer.

Sarah Michelle Gellar stated that she wants to bring back dead characters in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, and these are the most likely.
