• Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise Buffy Summers in a recurring capacity after three years of development, citing Chloé Zhao’s fan-driven pitch as the deciding factor in her return.
• Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been cast as the new Slayer, portraying an introverted high-school hero whose cerebral approach shapes her supernatural journey.
