SMG to star in Buffy sequel series from Chloé Zhao

Spoiler: Potential Spoilers - Set Photos

It appears that the pilot synopses was accurate - photos are doing the rounds seeming to be showing a fun fair celebrating "Old Sunnydale", complete with fun fair version of the old Sunnydale High - faithfully recreated as a house of horrors type attraction, presumably from the "Vampire Weekend" alluded to in the spoiler synopses of the pilot.

Pity.

Carpenter or Marsters or Hannigan might have been reasons to watch an episode of this thing.

Thing is, its technically still only at pilot stage - though I would be very surprised if it wasn't picked up for series, given that the opp to nab SMG back as Buffy is likely to be a one time offer. They'd be mad not to grab this with both hands, but I guess they'll want to see the pilot first.

It may well be that they're concentrating on the pilot right now, with ideas for the series should it be picked up being generated but in no position to be firmed up. Just because Charisma (apparently) hasn't been approached yet, doesn't mean she won't be.

I'd imagine they'll spend some time building up the new narrative before delving too much into the past - but I would still be unsurprised if another legacy character made a pilot appearance!

Let's see if it goes the way of the original Buffy pilot. Shot a second time with just one two* actors replaced.

*I had forgotten that they also replaced Stephen Tobolowsky as Principal Flutie.

Wasn't that more of a short demonstration film than a full hourlong pilot?

The original pilot episode was about 25 minutes long.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, back again for 'Buffy,' is sick of your reboot takes

Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't afraid of a little nostalgia, and she's tired of harsh takes on sequels and reboots.

What a bunch of useless nothing, dressed up as a story. Clickbait.
