Sarah Michelle Gellar Debunks ‘Buffy’ Reboot “Fake” Details, Praises Chloé Zhao’s “Passion”
After Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she’s reprising her role as Buffy Summers, she’s slaying disinformation about the highly-anticipated reboot.
The actress and producer recently debunked “fake characters” and other details that circulated online in March about her upcoming Hulu revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which hails from 2x Oscar winner Chloé Zhao.
“Those are all fake characters. That thing that got released is all fake,” Gellar told Elite Daily of previous reports that the series will center on “a cerebral 16-year-old named Nova … who is very smart and a bit of a loner,” as well as her friends “Hugo, an out-and-proud nerd who comes from money, and Gracie, a young expert on vampires who’s an acolyte of Gellar’s Buffy.”
Although Gellar wouldn’t confirm any actual details about the reboot, she explained how Zhao convinced her to return to the franchise after years of shutting down rumors and speculation.
