If you’re as excited for the return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as I am, then I have some fun news for you today as star Sarah Michelle Gellar has revealed that Buffy will be the same old, kick-ass character she always has been.
Back in February, Gellar confirmed the numerous rumours floating around that Buffy was coming back and, well, it’s been fairly quiet since then.
Saying at the time: “I have always listened to the fans and heard 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 process, and it’s not over yet. I promise 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.
Sarah Michelle Gellar confirms Buffy return, hints at other cast members’ return too
“I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love “Buffy” as much as I do. And as much as you do. Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.”
We’d all feared that the show might see Buffy in a more sedantry role, perhaps being more of a Watcher character who guides the new slayer[s], however, in a new interview on Jenna and friends, Gellar was asked if she will be ‘slaying’ to which she relies: “I mean, I think you kind of have to, right? Isn’t that the point of being Buffy, the Vampire Slayer?”
Hell, yes it is! Our original Vampire Slayer (sorry, Blade), is coming back!
So, now that we know Buffy Summers is coming back and will probably still have Mister Pointy with her to do damage, are you more or less excited for the show? Let me know your thoughts, guys… I know you have ’em!

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
