Sarah Michelle Gellar is officially ready to return to Sunnydale.
After reports circulated that a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot was in the works with the actor returning, Gellar confirmed to fans on Instagram that she is involved in a revival of the show.
“So….. you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you haven’t heard from me,” Gellar, 47, wrote on Thursday, alongside a photo of herself as Buffy and the character’s memorable quote, “If the apocalypse comes, beep me.”
Gellar shared details about why she decided to return to her slayer days, almost 22 years since the show ended. It all started three years ago with a phone call from her “dear friend and mentor,” producer and executive Gail Berman.
“She told me that she wanted me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential ‘Buffy’ revival,” Gellar wrote. “I was blown away that Chloé even knew who I was, but, as I’ve always done, I told Gail that I just didn’t see a way for the show to exist again.”
