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.”
