I think weirdly enough I feel sad for the people who were originally working on the first season before Feige took it away from them, did a hack job then decided to blame them. In today's TV landscape with the recent Buffy Revival getting the ax then them trying to blame Zhou it's just sad

I think it's important that the same week the Buffy reboot was cancelled, a meteor/asteroid hit Cleveland and Bigfoot has been spotted in our area. Let us remember, Cleveland sat atop the other Hellmouth. Someone better bring Buffy back right now. I fear for what comes next.

The Kennedy center board of trustees look like theyre about to give Dick Tracy a real hard time…

Further backing this up? The first season of Buffy is ROUGH. In fact, I often tell folks to just skip it and start with S2, because if they watch S1 cold there's a strong chance they'll give up on the series.

This Buffy/Hulu situation is legit pissing me off.

I was iffy about the prospect of a Buffy reboot/revival, but now that it’s not going to happen, I’m cackling at comments that suggest the pilot script was probably “too woke.” Bruh. BRUH.

Hope everyone is having a good night except for that one male Hulu exec who is the reason the Buffy reboot (with OSCAR WINNING DIRECTOR CHLOE ZHAO) was canceled. I hope he dies in horrible torturous ways. You know how the Sloth guy died in the movie Seven? Somebody should Sloth this Hulu exec.

Buffy is really important to me, and once again a dumb fuck studio executive decides we can't have nice things. Hoping by some long shot it still gets made. Just like The Hunt for Ben Solo. Just like Willow seasons 2 and 3.

The Buffy sequel series was cancelled. Nuke the globe.

Sarah Michelle Gellar says Buffy reboot was slayed by exec who didn't like the original Sarah Michelle Gellar offers some insight into why Hulu killed the Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot pilot directed by Chloé Zhao. #hulu #media #news

How am I just now finding out the Buffy reboot was cancelled 😭😭

The script is very in keeping with Buffy speak, which has been ripped off by so many things at this point. Most notably, every CW show and Star Trek SNW. But if Buffy sounds like Buffy, is that a bad thing? This was clearly written by people who love the original. Maybe too much? Not sure

It was ignorant enough for people to treat a BUFFY draft from 2 years ago as if it represented the pilot that was shot, but when they say it reveals “an unrecognizable Buffy,” I really have to wonder if people understand character arcs. In a story, a character starts somewhere and ends up elsewhere

After revealing that Hulu would not be moving forward with the planned reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, star Sarah Michelle Geller has spoken out about the way in which it was cancelled. www.rollingstone.co.uk/tv/sarah-mic...

You know what? In light of the sad #Buffy news, I’m going thru another rewatch. 🤘🏻

been really inspired to start writing again lately. been on a buffy binge and i'm like oooooh vampires. 🧛🏽‍♀️

What a bastard. Justice for! #Buffy!

I haven't read the leaked Buffy script, but you understand that Buffy is not supposed to be high art and was always a bit cringe, right? like, it helped *invent* what is now called cringe. cringe is part of the brand

Same, same. Buffy fans are letting everyone know they’re angry so I hope we can turn this around and #SaveBuffy

The Buffy situation has me so fucked up

I hate men (the man who cancelled the Buffy Reboot)

It is

Who knows more about Buffy than here? Plus, Chloe Zao directing would have put Buffy with 100%women's point of view. Sigh.

#SciFI Well, that's a disappointment. The push against female positive portrayals at this particular point in our country's history is shameful and I hope another network grabs at the chance to advance positivity. bleedingcool.com/tv/buffy-gel...

I have two great loves in my life: Buffy Summers and Cher from Clueless.

The executive that killed the Buffy reboot is wrong and should feel bad.

And she's been both hesitant to do, like, conventions and Buffy things for years. This project got her interested--she's been a better curator of that show's legacy than most anyone else associated with it. For her to both agree to produce AND to write this, she must've felt good about it.

why am I not surprised a Hulu/disney exec prod was a bully about producing the Buffy reboot and then cut it.

Gellar spoke to People to reveal that one Hulu executive who didn't like the original show was to blame for the cancellation of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot series, Buffy: New Sunnydale.

there's a 30 rock joke here.. jack donaguey underestimates the power of buffy despite liz's warnings (+ kenneth's, who idolizes her bc she "fights satan's evil minions, like boyfriends or library books!") so the fandom hijacks the studio to perform once more, with feeling (poorly) until he gives in

"A demon sets up shop in your old house. It walks and talks and remembers your life but it's not you." Those dialogue moments sounded exactly how Angel sounded when he was Angelus. Mean and mocking. I'm even more sad we're not going to get it now.

I do too.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I read it and it was absolutely Buffy vibes. I'm even more disappointed now that they're not doing the show. This was a great pilot.

How are these assholes in the business. What a c"nt

Hulu can go **** itself. I am devastated.

there’s no explanation but i assume trump take buffy

The Buffy reboot was cancelled.

My reaction on hearing the news.

There’s no chance Sarah Michelle Gellar signs onto any future Buffy project with this executive attached. And good luck at finding any success without her involvement. deadline.com/2026/03/buff...

I’m curious about it becuase I really love Chloe Zhao. I want to see what she did more than I want more Buffy. And I say this as someone who couldn’t stand The Eternals

It's really funny seeing the disdain for a Firefly revival all over the feed juxtaposed to the outrage over Buffy's revival being arbitrarily canceled, but it's also vindicating as someone who spent the 00s insisting Buffy and Angel were better.

Bingo

The thing about the Buffy reboot is that I don’t even know if I was cautiously optimistic about it, but you tell me some dude bro ruined two women’s shiny weekends by canceling something he bragged about not having ever engaged with and I’m ready to fight the forces of darkness over it.

Agree it feels like the leak of that is to try furthering embarrassing her from telling the truth

Several things can be true at once: that leaked Buffy script could be real, it could be a very shitty draft, it could be not real at all, it could have been leaked because Gellar called out an exec...etc. Pilot script doesn't necessarily mean it was going to be shot or that others don't exist.

#buffy seriously anyone who says they liked the show but takes victory laps around the disney strong arm because "it needed whedon" to stfu. Nothing needs that racist, misogynist abusive alleged attacker of 15 year old trachtenberg again. Ever. Just knowing torture he gave og cast - fuck off

Sarah Michelle Gellar revealed more details about why "Buffy" unraveled behind the scenes, claiming that one particular Hulu exec was largely to blame. bit.ly/4rvAlPn

Yeah i have 0 fucks for what a misogynist shitbag like him fucking thinks

Between this Buffy stuff and Blade, it's genuinely surprising how difficult it's been pre-Sinners to get vampire stuff made these days. And this is for an A-list monster, werewolves and other creatures probably have it tougher

A man ruining Buffy yet again is absolutely heartbreaking. And Hulu should do better. I'm so upset.
