Sarah Michelle Gellar has expressed her disappointment and frustration over the cancellation of the Buffy reboot pilot, stating that it’s “not fair” to the fans. The actress believes that the show deserved respect and that the decision was made by someone who didn’t appreciate the series.
Gellar spoke out on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, saying that she hopes the leaked pilot script doesn’t get shared online, as it may not accurately represent the creators’ vision. She also expressed her sadness at how the cancellation was handled and its impact on fans. The actress emphasized that there’s still hope for a potential revival or reimagining of the series.
The cancellation decision was reportedly made due to concerns over the pilot’s strength, with the studio opting not to move forward with a full season. Gellar previously criticized the executive who scrapped the show, saying they didn’t respect the original series and its fans.
Gellar also expressed her support for director Chloé Zhao, who had been attached to the project at the time of its cancellation. She urged fans to continue showing love and appreciation for the series, rather than letting the cancellation tarnish their memories of it.
