It's amazing how quickly this upcoming Hulu reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer has gotten off the ground.
Yesterday five cast members were announced for the show that had already announced Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her role as Buffy Summers along with Ryan Kiera Armstrong as introverted new slayer, Nova. These cast members are as follows.
Faly Rakotohavana as Hugo: A likable but privileged geek. Xander counterpart.
Ava Jean as Larkin: Described as a "chronic do gooder". Willow counterpart.
Sarah Bock as Gracie: A ringleader or a group of church going girls. Cordelia counterpart.
Daniel Di Tomasso as Abe: Nova's single father and a photojournalist. Joyce counterpart.
Jack Cutmore-Scott as Mr Burke. A high school teacher. Giles counterpart.
I'm guessing this completes our regular cast for this reboot that's about to start filming it's pilot episode, according to Sarah Michelle Gellar. The pilot episode will be directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao and written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.
Now what about former returning characters? Right now, it seems like the expectation will be to establish Buffy in this upcoming reboot with the new characters. However, Sarah Michelle Gellar didn't rule out other characters returning for this show but didn't specify as to who or when they'll appear. Given that she's recently been hanging out with Alyson Hannigan, I'm assuming that everyone's favourite witch, Willow Rosenberg will be one character we definitely will see in the show.
So far, it definitely feels like we're getting a bit of a rethread from the show itself and if we are, I can't wait to see who the Angel counterpart will be or who the Big Bad for the first season will be. Or why/how Sunnydale is now back on the table.
Filming for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot will begin shortly. The more information that's revealed, the more I'll post about it.
