Scoobies, assemble!
Hulu�s Buffy reboot pilot just added several series regulars to the cast, >TVLine has learned. They include a Severance scene-stealer, a Major Crimes >detective and Frasier�s son.
Sarah Bock (Severance) will play Gracie. Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU) will >play Larkin. Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned, Raven�s Home) joins as Hugo.
All are series regulars. Though no official character information is >available, these roles match up with the roles of the new Slayer�s close >friends that TVLine first reported in March.
In addition, Jack Cutmore-Scott (Frasier, Deception) will play the reboot�s >Mr. Burke (dare we hope he�s a Giles-type Watcher?) and Daniel di Tomasso >(Major Crimes) will play a character named Abe. Both are series regulars.
The potential series continuation, which likely will find original series >lead Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her titular role as a recurring guest >star, is said to be focused on a new Slayer and �the next chapter in the >Buffyverse.� As previously reported, Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Star Wars: >Skeleton Crew) will play the new lead, who is said to be a brainy and >cerebral teen that�s possibly more Willow than Buffy. Further details
remain TBA.
Chlo� Zhao (who won a directing Oscar for her 2020 feature Nomadland) is >attached to direct and executive-produce the project, with additional EPs >including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton. >(Berman, the Kuzuis and Parton all executive-produced the original Buffy >series.)
As for other returning Buffy cast members, no one from the original cast
has been confirmed (yet) aside from Gellar herself. �We will try to find a >balance between new and old characters,� Gellar teased. �My dream is to
bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new >stories as well.�

This is a remake that isn't needed.

Agreed - and is particularly macabre given Michelle Trachtenberg's
(Buffy's sister Dawn) sister. Good lord, she's not even six months
gone yet! It's positively indecent to be discussing a remake so soon.
I'm not sure that's relevant. Her death was certainly a shock, but the
reboot was probably beginning to happen before that.
I'm interested enough in this to give it a try. It'll be interesting to
see how they handle the big ol' final spell which turned every potential Slayer into a full Slayer. My guess is that they'll either ignore it completely or say it wore off or something, since the show's core is
about "one girl in all the world" having to handle all this.

I agree - that finale was the ultimate "no you can't do a remake"
episode.

Hollywood only cares about money, not decency.
