A Buffy the Vampire slayer revival series has been ordered to pilot - and Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to star. We're not kidding.
According to Deadline, Hulu is in the process of finalizing a deal for a pilot directed by Chloe Zhao (Eternals) and penned by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face). It is unclear whether the original cast will sign on to return, but given the way they all reunited for that Audible series...I'd say the chances are pretty good. Though we don't know much else about the revival, the reports says that the studio is "starting a writers room soon," which means that Hulu has "high expectations for the project going to series."
“It’s funny, I always used to say no, because it’s in its bubble and it’s so perfect,” Gellar told Deadline in December. “But watching Sex and the City and seeing Dexter, and realizing there are ways to do it, definitely does get your mind thinking, ‘Well, maybe.’” Negotitians reportedly began right around the time of Gellar's comments.
