Paging the Buffy fans!

The new Slayer has been revealed as Ryan Kiera Armstrong, last seen (by me at least!) in Skeleton Crew.

Very sweet reveal video here:

You have made my day, I didn’t know there was a reboot. And luckily Joss Whedon isn’t involved in it.

Ah no I don't know if I can watch this
The original is so iconic, it can't match up

TitsInAbsentia · 16/05/2025 20:13

I'll definitely give it a go, and that IS the cutest reveal video!

Me also 😔 Although I guess visual effects are getting so good now, Spike and Drusilla could come back and not look any older... I am deep in Season 6 at the moment...

@YeahNahWhal I need a rewatch.. my favourite series was the Glory & Dawn one

You don't have to answer

meant your favourite episode or seasons

Glad I’m not the only one excited.

I get what people are saying about worrying it won’t match up to the original, but it gives me confidence that many of the people involved clearly love the show and I can’t see SMG being involved unless she was happy with what they’re planning.

I’m the same age as Buffy, so grew up alongside the show - BBC2 Thursday night at 6.56pm (till Sky stole it and I had to resort to getting my best friend to record it on VHS for me 🤣)

First episode I saw was The Pack and I was hooked. Even now watching it, that scene of them all walking into school with the grunge music playing gives me goosebumps!

No, no, no! I’m so sad about this.
it’s like Star Wars, they ruined that but coming for Buffy is a whole new level of Nope! Angry

favourite season is season 3
but Hush is the best stand alone episode
I know I’m right on this, because my 14 year old daughter - who is OBSESSED with Buffy - agrees

QueenOfThorns · 17/05/2025 19:48

Mixed feelings here, let’s wait and see….

I think season 2 is the best personally!

SharksSwimThroughMyVeinsNow · 17/05/2025 23:16

I’m very excited for this and secretly hoping Spike will make an appearance.

Oh Hush was so creepy!! Great choice, think I'll have a dip in later
