Buffy Reboot Frenzy: Fans Go Wild Over Hints Beloved Character Is Returning

BBG News

Enthusiasts of Buffy were swamped with exhilaration at the prospect of a cherished character potentially returning to their role.

On Friday, Sarah Michelle Gellar, aged 48, shared an Instagram post alongside one of her old colleagues and referred to each other as “#OriginalGangsters” in the caption.

On that very day, they joined forces for a conversation revolving around future collaborations – a prospect that thrilled their devoted followers – in connection with an off-screen endeavor and a significant social matter.

In a delightful turn of events, the actress renowned for embodying the lead character in the series has reunited with her former on-screen partner Alyson Hannigan, now 51 years old. This reunion has sparked excitement among fans, who eagerly anticipate the possibility that they might share the screen once more in Sunnyvale during the upcoming revival of the show.

Additionally, they simultaneously appeared on the TODAY show and paid a visit to SiriusXM for a shared conversation about promoting meningitis awareness. Moreover, they delved into discussions regarding the enduring influence of Buffy during their discourse.

As a pop-culture enthusiast and lifestyle guru, I had the pleasure of embodying the vibrant character Willow Rosenberg opposite Sarah Michelle Gellar’s iconic Buffy Anne Summers in the groundbreaking series that graced our screens from 1997 to 2003.

A significant number of their followers expressed optimism on social platforms, speculating that if the actors collaborate outside the show, it might pave the way for their characters to reconnect in the upcoming Hulu series revival.

This comes nearly two decades after the show ended.

On the TODAY show, one of the hosts inquired about advice for their past selves, to which Gellar referred to the significant influence his role in the supernatural drama series had on popular culture.

She mentioned, “In retrospect, I believe I would have acknowledged its significance sooner, for I was deeply engrossed in my work and entertainment at the time, which may have hindered my initial comprehension of the show’s influence.

She said that it took her about a decade later for her to realize that Buffy had so much ‘meaning.’

She went on to say, “About a decade or a dozen years later, I realized how significant the show remained and how new generations were finding it meaningful.

Gellar commented, “It left me speechless, and perhaps I required the space to grasp it, which is why I wouldn’t have been able to explain it to my younger self.

‘To put it simply, when you’re young, it’s difficult to express yourself freely – a fact that contributes significantly to why Alyson and I are here today. It’s those challenging periods where we, as parents, must shield our children, and sometimes we require assistance. We need the support of a community.’

Fans of Buffy, inspired by their photobooth-style, black-and-white selfies, turned to platform X to share theories and discuss possibilities regarding a potential revival of the show.

A multitude applauded their impressive appearance, declaring them as timeless, while certain admirers remarked that the pair appears to have defied aging over the past two decades.

‘Does this mean Willow will be in the Buffy revival omg.’ 

The post received nearly 3,000 likes and over 400 retweets as many joined in in excitement. 

‘Yes please,’ one fan tweeted while the original user responded that it is a ‘neeed.’ 

Another fan wrote: ‘What ever you think about Willow she have [sic] to be in the reboot…’ 

One X user added, ‘My heart dropped when I opened Insta omg!!!’ 

One fan expressed, “This is undeniably a sign that Willow has returned.” Another emphasized, “It’s essential,” they said.

In addition to the plethora of ‘omgs,’ one user tweeted: ‘THIS IS SO ICONIC WHATTT.’ 

‘Please dear god let it be,’ one fan wrote alongside the prayer hands emoji. 

Another wrote: ‘That would be the best news about this revival I can imagine.’
