First played by Kristy Swanson in the 1992 movie, vampire-slayer Buffy Summers was most memorably portrayed by Sarah Michelle Gellar in the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” television series, which ran from 1997 to 2003. It’s now been 20 years since we last saw Buffy on screen, with talks of a small screen coming and going in recent years with no real progress.
One person who doesn’t have any interest in returning to the franchise? Sarah Michelle Gellar, who stresses in a new chat with SFX Magazine that her days as Buffy are long behind her.
“I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn’t need to be done,” the actress told the outlet when asked about a reboot. Gellar added, “We wrapped that up.”
She continued, “I am all for them continuing the story, because there’s the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: “Every girl who has the power can have the power.” It’s set up perfectly for someone else to have the power. But like I said, the metaphors of Buddy were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young, but I am not an adolescent.”
