Enjoy the moments and continue to always give back to the fans.
So….. you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you havent heard from me.
Three years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman.
Wed always been aligned on that, but this time I heard something different in her voice.
We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this show means to us.
This has been a long process, and its not over yet.
I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right.
And I will tell you that we are on the path there.
And as much as you do.
Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this.
This will be for you.
It’s understandable why she has not wanted to return up until this point.
There have been no announcements about other returning cast members outside of Gellar.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a television series created by Joss Whedon, focusing on Buffy Summers, portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar, a young woman chosen to battle against vampires, demons, and other supernatural forces while navigating the complexities of teenage life.
