SMG is working on a Buffy reboot for Hulu, and spoke to People about the show's early days. She revealed how the show's notoriety was a slow burn at first, sharing:

Though the Wolf Pack star didn’t reveal the names of those who auditioned, last week it was announced that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been cast in a lead role in Hulu’s pilot for the reboot. The new show will also see Gellar reprise her role as Buffy Summers.

A Buffy the Vampire Slayerreboot may still be awaiting a pilot order, but that hasn’t stopped major developments from happening behind the scenes - including some unexpected family connections. Hulu’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot is causing plenty of buzz even though it’s still in the incredibly early development stages.
