Buffy Reboot Script Reveals Killer Twist!
19 Mar
Summary
- New Buffy series script featured a new slayer named Nova.
- Original vampires slain by Buffy reawoke in the new plot.
- Sarah Michelle Gellar had only one line as Anne Summers.
Hopes for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot were dashed when Hulu unexpectedly cancelled the production, a move that reportedly blindsided the cast. A pilot script penned by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, with Chloé Zhao attached to direct, has since surfaced, revealing the ambitious new direction planned for Sunnydale.
The reboot was set to introduce Nova, a high schooler destined to be the next slayer, with the town aware of its slayer history due to Buffy's past. Nova's journey would begin at a festival where she confronts vampires, forming her own 'Scooby Gang.'
A significant storyline involved the reawakening of vampires previously vanquished by Buffy in the original series finale, presenting Nova with a formidable challenge. This continuation of the Buffyverse would have also featured Sarah Michelle Gellar, albeit in a limited capacity. Her character, Buffy Anne Summers, would have been shown living a normal life in New York City, with her only line hinting at impending chaos from Sunnydale.
