Sarah Michelle Gellar, the queen of the undead (and daytime talk shows), is giving us some deliciously mixed signals about a potential Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot.
You remember Sarah, right? The iconic slayer who fought off more vampires than we can count and somehow made high school drama seem like a full-contact sport. The original series, which graced our screens from 1997 to 2003 (back when flip phones were the height of tech), has long been considered a sacred shrine of ’90s TV magic. And until now, Sarah was staunchly guarding that sacred space, stating her firm “nope” to any revival ideas. She believed Buffy’s story ended on a high note, with just the right amount of vampire dust and teen angst.
But recently, during her enlightening chat on The Drew Barrymore Show—where the conversations flow smoother than a vampire’s ability to woo—Sarah dropped a bombshell. Turns out, her heart may be swayed by the sweet scent of nostalgia (or maybe just the alluring aroma of a good paycheck?). After her adventures in Dexter: Original Sin, she’s started to rethink her stance. “I always used to say no, because it’s in its bubble and it’s so perfect,” she confessed, probably while someone handed her a caffeinated beverage to fuel this newfound enthusiasm. “But watching [And Just Like That…] and seeing [Dexter: Original Sin], and realizing there are ways to do it, definitely does get your mind thinking, ‘Well, maybe.’”
So, in a twist worthy of a season finale cliffhanger, Sarah hinted that maybe, just maybe, she’s willing to don the leather jacket and stake once more. “It could be anything. It’s a universe. It makes you realize that in this world, we need those heroes, I think, more so than ever,” she said, likely glancing at her collection of wooden stakes and crucifixes with a sense of longing.
So keep your eyes peeled and your garlic close—Sarah Michelle Gellar might just be ready to slay again, and who knows what delightful chaos a new Buffy might bring to the world of TV!
