US EditionSarah Michelle Gellar Urges Fans Not to Read Leaked Buffy Reboot Script
Sarah Michelle Gellar urged fans to avoid the unfinished leaked script of the shelved Buffy reboot to prevent misjudgment of incomplete work, four days after Hulu canceled the project.
- On Wednesday, actress Sarah Michelle Gellar urged fans on SiriusXM's Page Six Radio to avoid the leaked pilot script for the cancelled Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, calling it an unfinished, inaccurate representation.
- Last week, Hulu decided not to move forward with Buffy: New Sunnydale, a project Gellar clarified was a pilot under development rather than a finished series lacking final polish.
- Gellar blamed Disney Television Group president Craig Erwich, who admitted not being a fan of the original series, describing this 'Buffy-hating' leadership as an "uphill battle" the team faced since inception.

- Although reports suggest Hulu remains interested in future reboot attempts, leaked details reveal the axed pilot featured a Renaissance Faire-like 'Vampire Weekend' in New Sunnydale and introduced new lead Nova.
