Sarah Michelle Gellar Teases Training for ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Reboot

Sarah Michelle Gellar is preparing to slay a new generation of supernatural evil creatures.

The actress, who led the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer series for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, recently took to her Instagram to share a video of her training at the gym alongside her new co-star, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, in the forthcoming reboot.

“Warrior 1 and 2 We don’t sweat … we sparkle,” Gellar captioned the video (below), which sees them both doing various workouts while sharing a few laughs.

It was previously announced that Armstrong had been cast to lead the new Hulu series as a new young Slayer. Gellar, who is also executive producing the series, is set to reprise her role as Buffy Summers.

Seeing Armstrong and Gellar’s playful dynamic even while training came as no surprise, as the veteran actress previously praised Armstrong’s casting: “From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.”

Though most plot details surrounding the reboot have been kept under wraps, the I Know What You Did Last Summer star teased in June that she hopes some actors from the original show return for the Buffy reboot.

“It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,” Gellar told Vanity Fair Italia at the time. “We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.”

A premiere date for the new show has yet to be revealed.
