Buffy: Ryan K. Armstrong Offers Look at Her "New Sunnydale" Slayer

Along with her reaction to the news, Ryan K. Armstrong posted a look at her slayer character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale.

Fans are still trying to process the news that Hulu has given a pass on EP Sarah Michelle Gellar, Showrunners Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman, director and executive producer Chloé Zhao, and EP Gail Berman's Gellar and Ryan K. Armstrong-starring pilot for Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale pilot. Earlier this evening, we shared our thoughts and initial reactions to the news – and now, Armstrong is offering a look at what could have been. Taking to Instagram Stories to share her feelings about the news and how much the project meant to her, Armstrong followed that up with a look at her character from the pilot.

"🖤 your slayer," read the caption from Armstrong, accompanying the image:

"I'm so beyond thankful and excited to share that I am going to be a part of the BTVS universe!!! i am so excited for this journey with you @sarahmgellar i am in awe of you.
