Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the cult late ’90s shows that people still watch religiously to this day, and its next chapter is just around the corner. The sequel series inspired by the beloved supernatural drama is nearing a pilot order at Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar set to return in the key role.

This potential reboot is still in the early stages of development, but Hulu already managed to round out a pretty impressive creative team. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao is attached to direct this promising project, and she’ll also executive produce it under her Book of Shadows production banner.

The list of EP also includes Gellar, who’ll reportedly play a recurring role in this project, which would most likely center on a new Vampire Slayer. The list of executive producers also includes Fran Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui via Suite B, Dolly Parton via Sandollar, and Gail Berman. The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator and showrunner Joss Whedon isn’t attached to this reboot.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer ran for seven seasons The WB and UPN between 1997 and 2003 and centered on a young woman battling the forces of darkness with the help of her friends. The series grew into a cult classic over the years and inspired a hit spin-off Angel, in addition to a series of tie-in products, such as novels, comics, and video games.
