The first video from the set of Hulu‘s upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot has surfaced online, confirming that production on the pilot episode has already begun. It provides fans with the first look at the new show’s young leading star. At the moment, the project hasn’t received a full series order from the streamer.
Who is shown in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot set video?
The set video offers a glimpse of lead star Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who has been tapped to follow in the footsteps of original star Sarah Michelle Gellar as the franchise’s newest slayer. Prior to landing the role, Armstrong was most recently seen in Disney+’s Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series. Joining Armstrong in the Hulu reboot is Gellar, who will be reprising her iconic role in a recurring capacity. The pilot will also feature Faly Rakotohavana, Ava Jean, Sarah Bock, Daniel Di Tomasso and Jack Cutmore-Scott as series regulars.
The Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival will be written and directed by Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman, who are also set to serve as showrunners. Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao is also directing the pilot and executive producing with Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzi, and Dolly Parton. It is a production by 20th Television and Searchlight Television.
Created by Joss Whedon, the original show lasted for seven seasons from 1997-2003. It revolved around the misadventures of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s titular character, who juggles the desire to live a normal high-school life with her responsibilities of being a proficient hunter of demons and vampires. The series also starred Alyson Hannigan, Michelle Trachtenberg, David Boreanaz, Nicholas Brendon, and Charisma Carpenter, among others.
