Sarah Michelle Gellar Hopes ‘Buffy’ Reboot Pilot Doesn’t Leak and Urges Fans Not to Read Script: ‘Pilots Are Not Finished’
Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed that Hulu has canceled the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot and is now asking fans not to read leaked scripts from the project. The reboot, which was directed by Chloé Zhao, has been officially scrapped by the streaming service. Gellar emphasized that any leaked materials would not represent the finished vision of the show.
The leaked materials don't represent what the final product would have looked like, and fans shouldn't judge the project based on unfinished work. Pilots are works in progress, and reading leaked scripts would give people the wrong impression of their creative vision.
After waiting years for the reboot and now facing its cancellation, they deserve to see what might have been, even in unfinished form. The leaked scripts could provide closure and insight into the direction the beloved franchise was heading before being canceled.
