Chase Sui Wonders Joins Sarah Michelle Gellar in ‘Buffy’ Reboot

Casting continues on Hulu’s pilot for a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot, with Deadline reporting that Chase Sui Wonders (I Know What You Did Last Summer) has signed on.

Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise the role of Buffy alongside Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Firestarter) as a brand new vampire slayer in the planned small screen reboot.

Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned), Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU), Sarah Bock (Severance), Daniel Di Tomasso (CSI: Vegas) and Jack Cutmore-Scott (“Frasier”) recently joined the cast of creator Chloé Zhao’s (Nomadland) “Buffy” reboot project as series regulars. 

Deadline notes, “Armstrong plays the new slayer — an introverted high-school student named Nova — in the untitled Buffyverse project, which Gellar executive produces.

From what we understand, the series will also feature legacy characters from the original ’90s series. The reboot aims to “find a balance between new and old characters.”

Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (“Poker Face”) wrote the pilot, with Chloé Zhao directing.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003, becoming a pop culture icon in the process. It was followed by spinoff “Angel,” which ran from 1999 to 2004.
