“So … … you may have heard some news this week, but I realize that you did not hear from me. Three years ago, I received a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman. He told me he wanted me to sit with Chloé Zhao to hear it take a potential” Buffy “revival.

“I was swept away by the fact that Chloé even knew who I was, but, as I always did, I told Gail that I have not seen a way for the show of existing again. We always aligned with this, but this time I felt something different in his voice. In the end I agreed to go (mainly to meet Chloé) and our twenty years coffee quickly transformed into an adventure of four hours.

“We laughed, we cried, but above all we talked about how much this show means for us. Even if I had not accepted anything in that meeting, I shocked myself accepting to continue the conversation.

“These conversations, in fact, continued in the coming years and in the end we added the incredible Nora and Lilla Zuckerman to our small tribe until in the end, one day, we landed on an idea. I always listened to the fans and I felt your desire to revisit” buffy “and his world, but it was not something that we could do if I was not sure I would get well.

“This has been a long trial, and it is not over yet. I promise you, we will make this show only if we know that we can do it well. And I will tell you that we are on the road there. I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four incredibly talented women, all who love” Buffy “as much as I.

At this point, there is no word on who else of the original cast can return, but Charisma carpenter (Cordelia Chase) recently expressed interest in joining if the opportunity presents itself.
