While Freddie Prinze, Jr. is reprising his role as Ray for the upcoming reboot of the 1997 slasher movie I Know What You Did Last Summer (where he met his future wife Sarah Michelle Gellar), Gellar made a big announcement on social media about her future.
On Thursday, Gellar (who currently stars in Dexter: Original Sin) wrote a long letter to her fans on Instagram addressing rumors about her reprising her role as Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.
Gellar, who has often said she just couldn’t see a way for the show to exist again, said that three years ago she met Chloé Zhao, “to hear her take on a potential Buffy revival.”
Gellar said their 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.”
Gellar added: “While I didn’t agree to anything at that meeting, I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation.” Over the next few years, “we landed on an idea.”
Gellar wrote: “This has been a long process, and it’s 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.”
Gellar thanked “all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.”
