Back in 2018, 20th Century Fox Television announced that it was developing a reboot of the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Monica Owusu-Breen (Midnight, Texas; Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) serving as showrunner and Joss Whedon co-writing & executive producing Six years later, the project apparently remains "on pause," an update that was[...]

She was one of the critics who identified and helped define the main tropes in Buffy the Vampire Slayer that now pervades virtually all Fantasy books and TV shows In fact, she was a namer of many of the tropes in the fantasy genre that we now take for granted. "Rhapsody of Blood by Roz Kaveney"[...]

You had Buffy the Vampire Slayer at 8 p.m., followed by Angel at 9 p.m That was the one night of Geek Heaven from the late 1990s to the early 2000s Those were the days before social media, and certain key creators getting rightfully #MeToo'd turned everything into a bit of a dumpster fire But[...]

We've always believed that a franchise as powerful as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" deserved to survive Joss Whedon's personal & professional failings – that "Buffy" was something that had become more of an influential collective, with every actor, writer, production member, and avid fan adding their imprint to its overall success It deserved better than[...]

After spending the past week covering the Buffy the Vampire Slayer lovefest between series star Sarah Michelle Gellar (Wolf Pack) and her one-episode co-star Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, The Last of Us), we thought we would be taking a breather from the "Buffyverse" for a little while But when Gellar presents evidence of how Buffy[...]

And that's been the case this week with Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Wolf Pack star Sarah Michelle Gellar, who shared a look back at the brief yet meaningful on-screen time she spent with Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, The Last of Us) on "Buffy."

Faith tries to reason with Willow in this preview of Vampire Slayer #11, but Willow isn't exactly open to reason right now.

And to absolutely no one's surprise (as you know by now if you've been following our coverage), Gellar has also been fielding a ton of Buffy the Vampire Slayer questions on a wide range of topics For this go-around, things are a lot more light-hearted as Gellar explains that she quite enjoys discussing "Buffy" and[...]
