Sarah Michelle Gellar has said she is âon the pathâ to reviving Buffy The Vampire Slayer alongside a team of âfour unbelievably talented womenâ.
It comes after US publications reported that the show, which ran from 1997 to 2003, was nearing a pilot order at Hulu.
In an Instagram post, Gellar, who played vampire-battling high school student Buffy, said: âSo ⦠you might have heard some news this week, but I realise you havenât heard from me.
âThree years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman.
âShe told me that she wanted me to sit down with (filmmaker) Chloe Zhao to hear her take on a potential âBuffyâ revival.
âI was blown away that Chloe even knew who I was, but, as Iâve always done, I told Gail that I just didnât see a way for the show to exist again.
âWeâd always been aligned on that, but this time I heard something different in her voice.
âI eventually agreed to go (mainly just to meet Chloe) and our 20-minute coffee quickly turned into a four-hour adventure. We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this show means to us.
âWhile I didnât agree to anything at that meeting, I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation.â

Gellar, 47, said the conversations continued âover the next few yearsâ and that they âlanded on an ideaâ with TV writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.
âI have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit âBuffyâ and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right,â she said.
âThis has been a long process, and itâs not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there.
âI feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love âBuffyâ as much as I do. And as much as you do.
âThank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.â
The series, created by writer and director Joss Whedon, saw Gellar play Buffy, one of a long line of young women chosen by fate to battle supernatural forces in the fictional US town of Sunnydale.
The programme also starred Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg, James Marsters as Spike and British star Anthony Head as Rupert Giles.
The shows success led to a spin-off series for vampire Angel, played by David Boreanaz.
Gellar has also starred in 1990s movies Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer and plays the boss of fictional serial killer Dexter Morgan in a new prequel series.
