    Sarah Michelle Gellar is hoping some original Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters rise from the dead in the forthcoming reboot.

    The actress, who led the original series for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, is reprising her role as Buffy Summers in the reboot. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong has also been cast in the new Hulu series as a new young Slayer.

    During a recent interview with Vanity Fair Italia, Gellar teased the Buffy reboot as well as who she would like to see return. “It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,” she shared. “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.”

    While the Dexter: Original Sin star admitted she’s “very lucky” she “didn’t feel the pressure that today’s actors feel” with social media when she starred on Buffy, she also wants to make sure the reboot includes modern themes, issues and storylines.

    “One of the surprising aspects of Buffy is that it’s always been a crossover series,” Gellar added. “We’re trying to figure out how to modernize the themes of the series, especially what it means to feel like an outsider in a world dominated by social media. What we want to explore are the space-time boundaries that affect society today.”

    Most details surrounding the reboot, which Hulu is referring to as the “Untitled Buffyverse Pilot,” are being kept under wraps. Gellar is also executive producing the series.
