It sadly got slayed.
Hulu is no longer moving forward with the “Buffy the Vampire” reboot, the star of the original series, Sarah Michelle Gellar announced on Instagram Saturday.
The series, dubbed “Buffy: New Sunnydale,” was first announced in February 2025, over two decades after the supernatural horror drama ended in 2003 — and actually started filming in Los Angeles in August.

And this doesn’t change any of that,” she continued.
The now-canceled show was centered around a new slayer — with Gellar in a recurring role and serving as an executive producer.
