Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a growing trend in TV Land for networks – and streaming services – to revive or reboot former glories, and speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Sarah Michelle Gellar has been chatting about the possibility of Buffy the Vampire Slayer returning for an eighth season.
“I have always believed that what was so unique about the show was the use of horrors of those formative years,” said Gellar, who headlined the beloved series during its run between 1997 and 2003. “With high school and college as a backdrop, we were able to address racism, identity, bullying, guilt, death, first love and heartbreak using the demons as metaphors for the demons we all experience. I am not sure how that translates into adulthood, although I am sure it could. The burden of saving the world a lot always weighed heavily on her, so for her sake, I hope she is somewhere on a beautiful beach located far away from any Hellmouth.”
Would you like to see a revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or is the series best left alone now? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
Loved Buffy. But I wouldn’t want any new series to happen that’s not up to scratch and just tarnish the original’s memory. I’m looking at you X-Files. Now don’t let me down Twin Peaks!
1/6th of new X-Files was amazing, and 1/rd wasn’t that bad. Pretty much on par with any X-Files season since S3..
Yeah, but they were long seasons. If they can’t do better with six lousy episodes, don’t do it.
Omg please please PLEASE this would be me and SO MANY FANS biggest dream. They teach entire college courses on that show for its philosophical and story/dialogue undertakings. I am sure Josh Weaden could do something great again. PLEASE DON’T listen to the haters, their minds would be changed with a good new season and every girl on EARTH desrves to see what happens with all the new slayers in the world. We need unity right now and strength more than anything, we need a way to empower young girls of today but to mostly give us hope, we need it. This would be so good on SO many levels and maybe a new main slayer would emerge that is on par with Sarah or Gal Gadott (WW) type. Pleaasse <33333333333333333333 PLEASE do it, I know it could be done!!!!!
Im with you. Please, please, please, please, please bring back Buffy, Angel, Spike and the Scooby gang. I have always wanted tobsee seasons 8, 9 and 10 on tv. Please!
We all kind of know how this would go.. Buffy the Angel Slayer.. its a natural
I would love to see Buffy comeback this year but it could have done an 8th, 9th, and even 10th season all from 2003 to 2006 and more years than that if it wished if it weren’t for both the 2000’s reality TV explosion, and Britney Spears.
