(it feels like chaos)

Shepherded Gellar and Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao, the show seemed like a slam dunk: A vampire show arriving on the heels of the Oscar-winning blockbuster Sinners , directed by Oscar-winner Zhao, and starring Gellar.

The Details

But in our ever consolidating entertainment business, artists are at the whims of people who might not know best and they are also the only game in town. According to Gellar, the Hulu braintrust left the show in the hands of an executive who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasnt for him.

Speaking to People , Gellar explains what happened and why, laying the blame on an exec who probably should’ve worked on a different project. Like many, no one saw this coming, including the head of Searchlight [Pictures], which produced Gellars new movie, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come , and is also owned by Disney.

Why This Matters

Gellar says that she’s been asked since the day I left to return to Sunnydale. Though she was always resistant, Chloé, the witch that she is approached her about the reboot, and in one meeting, she makes me say yes to something I never saw on my radar. Gellar continues to praise the direction of the show.

Entertainment industry insiders have been buzzing about this.

Key Takeaways

• The dialogue flew off the tongue.
• When I was on set, it was craziness.

The Bottom Line

When I was on set, it was craziness. I loved the duality that we had this new, younger slayer who was where Buffy was when the show kicked off, and then we would pick up with where Buffy was now.
