Bad news, Buffy fans. Sarah Michelle Gellar has announced that Hulu is no longer moving forward with reboot series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale.” Gellar was set to reprise the role of Buffy alongside Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Firestarter) as a brand new vampire slayer in the planned small screen reboot from Hamnet director Chloé Zhao. “I am really sad to have to share this, but I wanted you all to hear it from me. Unfortunately, Hulu has decided not to move forward with ‘Buffy: New Sunnydale,’” she said in a video posted today. “I want to thank Chloé Zhao, because I never thought I would find myself back in Buffy’s stylish yet affordable boots. And thanks to Chloé, I was reminded how much I love her and how much she means not only to me but to all of you. “And this doesn’t change any of that, and I promise if the apocalypse actually comes, you can still beep me.” Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (“Poker Face”) wrote the pilot, with Chloé Zhao directing. Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned), Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU), Sarah Bock (Severance), Daniel Di Tomasso (CSI: Vegas) and Jack Cutmore-Scott (“Frasier”) had recently joined the cast. “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003, becoming a pop culture icon in the process. It was followed by spinoff “Angel,” which ran from 1999 to 2004. The sad news arrives as Sarah Michelle Gellar is in Austin, Texas, celebrating the premiere of sequel Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

Published 1 day ago on March 13, 2026 By Alex DiVincenzo “You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday…” I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this Friday the 13th than with the first official look at Peacock’s upcoming Friday the 13th prequel series, “Crystal Lake.” Produced by A24 and created by showrunner Brad Caleb Kane (“IT: Welcome to Derry”), the “Crystal Lake” series is slated to premiere later this year on Peacock. Linda Cardellini stars in “Crystal Lake” as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason. William Catlett (Abigail), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), and Gwendolyn Sundstrom also star, with Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) as young Jason Voorhees. The cast also includes Nick Cordileone (“Warrior”), Joy Suprano (“Fleishman Is in Trouble”), Danielle Kotch (Sinister), Christopher Denham (“Shining Girls”), Nancy Nagrant (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and Phoenix Parnevik. The eight-episode series is set to be directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”). “It’s a paranoid ’70s thriller,” Brad Caleb Kane previously said of the show. “It has all of the DNA of a slasher without quite being a slasher. There are rivers of blood in the show. There are very, I think, ingenious kill sequences and deaths and murders, but it’s all done in service of character and theme and place and time.” 2026 has one more Friday the 13th coming up in November — that could be a good candidate for a premiere (or finale). Stay tuned for more on “Crystal Lake” as we learn it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bloody Disgusting (@bdisgusting) Continue Reading
