On March 14, Sarah Michelle Gellar posted a video on Instagram, revealing that the highly anticipated revival of her star-making, enormously beloved and culturally persistent series, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” — helmed by Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao — was dead in the water.

From Salon

“Unfortunately, Hulu has decided not to move forward with ‘Buffy: New Sunnydale.’

From Salon
