Buffy Reboot Casts New Lead, Adds Dolly Parton

News summary

Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Buffy Summers and serve as executive producer for the upcoming untitled Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot on Hulu. Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been cast as the new Slayer, portrayed as an introverted high school student who teams up with Buffy to battle dark forces. The pilot is written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman and directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao. Dolly Parton also returns as executive producer, while original creator Joss Whedon remains uninvolved due to past misconduct allegations. The series is envisioned as a continuation rather than a remake, with Gellar emphasizing the show's commitment to comfort and inclusion for a new generation. The release date has not been set, and it is unclear which other original cast members will appear, as some are absent due to real-life circumstances.
