Hulu Doesn’t Think a Buffy Revival From a Multi-Oscar-Nominated Director Is a Good Idea

For Buffy fans, it seemed like a match made in heaven, right? A multi-Oscar-nominated director and the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar in a revival of one of the biggest TV shows of all time. Unfortunately, not everyone believes it will work. Hulu has just shut down the chance to bring back Buffy Summers for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. The bad news comes from Sarah Michelle Gellar herself, who confirmed on Instagram that the planned sequel series Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale will not move forward. For many, the announcement will probably be a huge surprise, especially since the series had already reached the expensive part of development.
