Sarah Michelle Gellar Hopes ‘Buffy’ Reboot Pilot Doesn’t Leak and Urges Fans Not to Read Script: ‘Pilots Are Not Finished’
Sarah Michelle Gellar has asked Buffy fans not to read a Stools at Ex Dakota Mortensen">leaked version of the cancelled Hulu reboot script. The original Buffy star emphasized that the project was still a work-in-progress when it was dramatically cancelled. Gellar appeared on Page Six Radio to discuss her disappointment about the scrapped Chloé Zhao-helmed reboot and her hopes that the pilot never surfaces.
The leaked script doesn't represent the final vision for the reboot and fans shouldn't judge the project based on incomplete work. Pilots are unfinished products that go through extensive revisions, so reading the leaked version would give fans the wrong impression of what the show was meant to become.
After the reboot was cancelled, fans deserve to see what was being developed, especially given the secrecy around the project. The leaked script provides closure and insight into what the creative team had planned, regardless of whether it was the final version.
