Buffy the Vampire Slayeris coming back, and Sarah Michelle Gellar is too.

It’s long been impossible to keep the show - or its eponymous hero - down.

Hell,Buffy Summers died three times and always returned.

Would it even be about Buffy, or follow a new vampire slayer?

This makes by far the most sense.

A true reboot would face an almost impossible task of redoing - and outdoing - the original series.

Slayers: A Buffyverse Storywas canceledafter just one season.

While I enjoyedSlayers, the biggest thing missing, by far, was Buffyherself.

It should come as no surprise that Buffy needs, well, Buffy.

To this end, then, it also needs Gellar back, because sheisBuffy.

She gives the revival a sense of legitimacy, and her approval of it matters.

After all, there are countless slayers, but there’s only one Buffy.
