As we learn more and more about the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, there is one character from the original series who I really want to see come back to the show. Originally, Buffy the Vampire Slayer ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003, with a follow-up comic book run that covered "season 8" and beyond. This new reboot, however, would bring the world of Buffy and the remains of Sunnydale back to television for the first time since the spinoff series, Angel, concluded in 2004. 705159

The revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer needs to change some things about the original 1990s series. The new Buffy show will feature Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as Buffy Summers, now mentoring Nova, a brand-new Slayer played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Gellar is an executive producer on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series, as is Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, who's slated to direct the pilot episode. With Poker Face showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman as writers, the new Buffy's creative team will almost certainly have a fresh perspective on the world of the original.

Living on a Hellmouth means that the Scooby Gang sees a lot of death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but one character's demise in particular was meant to be much more shocking for the audience than it was. With plenty of blood shed throughout its seven seasons, the iconic '90s teen series proves early on that nobody is safe, and Buffy herself even dies three times in the show.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a groundbreaking television series, consistently pushing the boundaries of its format and taking creative risks, and Spike actor James Marsters' favorite episode reflects that. Buffy episodes like the nearly dialogue-free "Hush" are prime examples of the show's willingness to defy conventional TV norms. As discussions of the Buffy reboot circulate, it faces the challenge of living up to the original's innovative spirit and lasting influence. The bar is exceptionally high, particularly in Buffy's capacity to deliver episodes that not only entertained but also advanced the medium.

With Buffy the Vampire Slayermaking its long-awaited return to television, with a sequel series in production to air on Hulu, fans are rightfully wondering what that means for the franchise's extended universe; in fact, this is an opportunity for Buffy to learn a valuable lesson from the last decade's worth of Star Warscomics published by Marvel.

The lore of Buffy the Vampire Slayer confirms that Angel and Spike are technically the same person. The two vampires with souls were often in conflict with each other, largely because both were objects to Buffy's affection and because they're too similar for their own good. Their being alike is why they hate each other, but they're closer than they could've ever imagined.

Nearly 20 years after the series finale, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is set to return on Hulu for a revival show. Instead of following Buffy Summers once again, the series will shift its focus to a new Slayer, played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Buffy, along with serving as a producer. Hulu ordered a pilot that will be directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao and written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman. While the series has not been officially picked up, expectations are high that the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot will receive a series order.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's reboot will see Sarah Michelle Gellar's titular heroine step up to teach a new Slayer how to face the forces of darkness, but certain characters are essential to continue the tale of the Slayers. From 1997 to 2003, the supernatural drama followed Buffy Summers as she challenged the rising legions of terrors that descended upon Sunnydale alongside her friends. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's seven seasons saw Buffy and her friends not only rise to face the terrors of the night but also gather new allies, both human and supernatural.

Jonathan was at his most villainous when he was in the Trio, but Buffy the Vampire Slayerseason 4 gave us a sneak peek into how dark he could be. First appearing in Buffy season 2, episode 4, "Inca Mummy Girl", Jonathan Levinson is introduced as a geeky teen who is frequently bullied by the popular kids at Sunnydale High. He often existed on the fringes, until season 3's "Earshot", in which Buffy stops him from taking his own life. This results in a sweet moment at the prom, when Jonathan presents Buffy with the Class Protector Award.

With news that Hulu's sequel series for Buffy the Vampire Slayer is moving forward quickly, the community continues to speculate which fan-favorites could make a comeback. One such character is Anya Jenkins, especially following Emma Caulfield's teasing of her character's return before the reboot was even announced.
