BUFFY Star Sarah Michelle Gellar Is "All For Them Continuing The Story" - But Does Not Want To Be Involved

Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar has shared her thoughts on a potential reboot/revival, and while she's open to a continuation of the story, she has no interest in being involved...

There's been talk of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot in some form or another for over a decade at this stage, but we recently learned that the latest attempt to revive the franchise featuring a Black lead from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. scribe Monica Owusu-Breen had been put on pause.

Whether that series or some other incarnation of Buffy ever sees the light of day remains to be seen, but one person who has very little interest in getting involved with any new take on the fan-favorite character is Buffy Summers herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

"I'm not," said Gellar when asked if she'd be open to returning for a potential reboot during an interview with SFX. "I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn't need to be done. We wrapped that up. I am all for them continuing the story because there's the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: 'Every girl who has the power can have the power.' It's set up perfectly for someone else to have the power. But like I said, the metaphors of Buffy were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young, but I am not an adolescent."

Joss Whedon had been on board the now stalled project as an executive producer, which may have had something to do with the plug being pulled. There have been various spin-off comics and novels over the years, of course, but it's starting to seem like a return to the "Buffyverse" in live-action is simply not meant to be.

Even if a new Buffy show or movie does enter development at some point, Gellar sounds pretty certain that she wants nothing to do with it!

What do you guys think? Would you be open to a new Buffy series without Gellar? Drop us a comment down below.
