The upcoming revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer needs to change some things about the original 1990s series. The new Buffy show will feature Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as Buffy Summers, now mentoring Nova, a brand-new Slayer played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Gellar is an executive producer on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel series, as is Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, who's slated to direct the pilot episode. With Poker Face showrunners Nora and Lilla Zuckerman as writers, the new Buffy's creative team will almost certainly have a fresh perspective on the world of the original.
