Overview

• The Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot at Hulu focuses on a new Slayer named Nova, a reserved and cerebral 16-year-old described as more akin to Willow than Buffy.
• Sarah Michelle Gellar will return as Buffy Summers in a recurring guest role and also serves as an executive producer on the project.
• Nova’s support group, reminiscent of the original series’ Scoobies, includes Hugo, a wealthy and openly nerdy ally, and Gracie, a young vampire expert who idolizes Buffy.
• The creative team includes Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao and showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, with casting for lead roles currently underway.
• This marks the first successful attempt to continue the Buffyverse since the original series ended in 2003, with production moving closer to an official pilot order.
