More than 21 years after the end of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” Sarah Michelle Gellar would be ready to reprise the role of Buffy Summers.

But the actress was inspired by the comeback of old series and would no longer be against a return to the license created by Joss Whedon.

In Buffy the Vampire SlayerSarah Michelle Gellar played a high school student, then young adult, vampire slayer, in a series halfway between urban fantasy, horror and comedy. Broadcast between 1997 and 2003, Joss Whedon's creation enjoyed great success which only increased over the seasons, until it became fully part of popular culture in the 2000s.
Nominated several times for Emmy Awards, the series won three awards. The Buffy Summers singer also received a Golden Globe nomination in 2001.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer had already expanded at the time with the spin-off Angel between 1999 and 2004. This followed the adventures of the eponymous character played by David Boreanaz (Bones)who played a vampire with a human soul who hunted crime as a private detective.
The universe of the two series has also had numerous spin-off stories in comics and/or novels since.
