For a long time, Sarah Michelle Gellar has denied any desire to return to her role as “The Chosen One,” Buffy Anne Summers. But recently, Gellar said she might be interested, thanks to the success of legacy sequels like Dexter: Original Sin, in which she stars. Now, it’s official — Buffy the Vampire Slayer is coming back to stake the undead, in a new sequel series reboot from Hulu. Via Variety, we’ve learned that the pilot has an official order from Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman. The former Poker Face showrunners will write, show run, and executive produce. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao is attached to direct and executive produce the Buffy reboot. However, that’s likely just for the pilot episode.
Although the series is still using the title Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the Buffy sequel series will focus on a new Slayer. Gellar would appear in a recurring role, rather than leading this reboot series. The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer series finale in 2003 ended with girls all over the world activating their Slayer powers. So there would now be a generation of Slayers who might need Buffy Summers, the Prime Slayer, as their mentor. We can easily see that as the premise of this Buffy the Vampire slayer reboot sequel series. We’ll just have to wait and see to know for sure, though.
One name you’ll notice not attached is that of original Buffy creator and showrunner Joss Whedon. Once upon a time, the notion of a Whedon-less Buffy series without its creative voice would have been blasphemous. But in the last few years, Whedon’s name has become toxic. Several of his former Buffy cast, as well as several Justice League cast members, have accused him of running an unpleasant set to say the least. Regardless, as the series creator, he’ll probably cash some form of check for the series even if he has no creative involvement anymore. Additionally, except for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s exciting return, we have no confirmation about other former cast members or writers coming on board for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot sequel series. But we expect a lot more news on this one in the months ahead.

Trigger warning: Discussion of rape and murder
Dominique Pélicot drugged, raped, and trafficked his wife for nearly a decade, recording the abuse and inviting others to participate. His case was one of France’s most disturbing trials. Now, investigators believe his crimes go back even further, linking him to unsolved violent crimes from the 1990s.
A serial offender hiding in plain sight
For those unfamiliar with the details of the original trial, in 2024, Dominique Pélicot, 72, was convicted in one of France’s most shocking cases. For nearly a decade, he drugged and raped his wife, Gisèle, filming the assaults, which involved dozens of men. She was unaware until investigators uncovered hundreds of videos.
The internet roasts Vice President J. D. Vance for praising “President Trunp” for wavering on his tariff threats and striking an unimpressive deal with Mexico.
President Donald Trump recently acted on his long-held promise to impose steep tariffs on Mexico and Canada. The tariffs were partially imposed to pressure the countries to tighten their borders. However, tariffs were also the only plan that Trump had for the economy. Even when Americans warned him such measures would raise prices, he continued advocating for tariffs throughout his entire presidential campaign. As soon as he set 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada to go into effect, the countries responded with threats of retaliatory tariffs, and the stock market index, DOW, plunged over 600 points. A trade war was narrowly avoided when Trump and Mexico reached a deal. Trump would hold off on tariffs for a month while Mexico sent 10,000 troops to secure its side of the border.
MAPPA stay busy–we know that they have recently pushed out ZENSHU, their latest original anime series dabbling in fantasy out for the Anime Winter 2025 Season. Yet, they have also come back to finish out the finale of Attack on Titan on the big screen.
Our site has long been fans of the anime and every big reveal, shocking death, and memorable speech that has come with the story. So it was a given that we’d want to come together again to relive the global phenomenal that is Attack on Titan.
Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the critically acclaimed anime series into one monumental theatrical experience so fans can relive the epic finale of the global anime sensation on the big screen.
Debuting in 2013 (feels like a lifetime ago), Attack on Titan has become both a critical and commercial success worldwide and has garnered praise for its dark themes, stunning animation, and deep emotional and intellectual themes. Often regarded as one of the defining anime series in this modern generation, the series has been ranked as #23 on the top 250 TV shows of all time on IMDb (as rated by IMDB users), and three of the seasons have received a 100% critic’s score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Attack on Titan: THE LAST ATTACK brings together the last two episodes of the highly acclaimed anime series in a theatrical experience delivering the epic finale in a colossal-sized omnibus film.
Humanity lived quietly behind massive walls built to protect themselves from the threat of monstrous creatures called Titans. Their century of peace was shattered by an attack on their city that left a young child, Eren Jaeger, motherless and vowing revenge on the titans.
Years after joining the Survey Corps, Eren finds himself facing a deadly foe, and ultimately gains a special ability that unveils a new truth about the world he knows…
After venturing beyond the walls and separated from his comrades, Eren finds himself inspired by this new truth and plots the “Rumbling,” a terrifying plan to eradicate every living thing in the world. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, a motley crew of Eren’s former comrades and enemies scramble to halt his deadly mission. The only question is, can they stop him?
