Sarah Michelle Gellar Says Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Is 'Progressing Faster Than I'd Anticipated' (Exclusive)


Sarah Michelle Gellar tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' reboot is moving along smoothly, even 'progressing faster than I'd anticipated.' PEOPLE confirmed last month that the popular series is being rebooted, with the actress set to reprise her titular role.

The actress, 47, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that she is surprised by the current status of the recently announced reboot to the popular series, in which she starred in a career-defining role as titular slayer Buffy Summers. "We've set up our offices, which means things are progressing probably faster than I'd anticipated," Gellar — who has partnered with Trainline for its new "Ticket to Summer Travel in Europe" campaign — says. The currently untitled project — which is nearing a pilot order at Hulu, per Deadline and Variety, which were first to report the news — will focus on a new slayer, with Gellar appearing in a recurring role.
