Sarah Michelle Gellar also took to Instagram to provide an update on the revival process, revealing the heartfelt journey that led her back to Buffy. Reflecting on a pivotal conversation with her mentor Gail Berman and acclaimed director Chloé Zhao, Gellar shared how she initially felt unsure about returning to the beloved series.

The coffee chat that was meant to last just twenty minutes turned into an emotional four-hour connection filled with laughter and memories of what "Buffy" represents.
