More than two decades after Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended its seven-season
run, the beloved supernatural drama is eyeing a revival with a new chapter
in the franchise. A followup series is nearing a pilot order from Hulu,
with Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to star, reprising her signature role
as Buffy Summers, sources said. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed
lifelong Buffy fan, is set to direct the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla
Zuckerman (Poker Face).

The reboot hails from Buffy the Vampire Slayer studio 20th Television and
Disney sibling Searchlight TV where Zhao has been under a first-look deal.

Beyond the pilot order, I hear the reboot is starting a writers room soon,
a sign that Hulu and the studios have high expectations for the project
going to series. It is unclear yet whether other original Buffy cast
members would return; that is considered likely.
