A follow-up series is nearing a pilot order from Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to star, reprising her signature role as Buffy Summers, sources said. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed lifelong Buffy fan, is set to direct the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman ( Poker Face ).

The actor said she wouldn’t make the show unless she was sure they would get it right, adding, “I will tell you that we are on the path there.”
