Sarah Michelle Gellar to Buffy Fans: Sequel Series “Will Be For You”

" So … .. you might have heard some news this week , but I realize you have n’t heard from me : Gellar began her spot on Instagram ( waiting for you below ) . " Three age ago , I got a call from my dear champion and mentor , Gail Berman . She told me that she want me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential " Buffy " revival . I was shoot a line off that Chloé even know who I was , but , as I ’ve always done , I tell Gail that I just did n’t see a way for the show to exist again . We ’d always been line up on that , but this time I listen something unlike in her vocalization . I finally agreed to go ( chiefly just to adjoin Chloé ) and our twenty minute of arc coffee speedily turned into a four hour adventure . We express mirth , we cry , but mostly we both let the cat out of the bag about how much this show means to us . "

Gellar continued , " While I did n’t agree to anything at that meeting , I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation . These conversations did , in fact , continue over the next few years and eventually we added the incredible Nora and Lilla Zuckerman to our little tribe until at long last , one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. , we landed on an idea . I have always listen to the fan and see your desire to revisit ' Buffy ' and her world , but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right . This has been a long outgrowth , and it ’s not over yet . I assure you , we will only make this show if we know we can do it right . And I will tell you that we are on the path there . I feel so lucky to be on this journeying with these four unbelievably gifted woman , all of whom make out " Buffy " as much as I do . And as much as you do . Thank you to all the fan who never block off asking for this . This will be for you . "
