is, you'll have likely been devastated by the news that the upcoming reboot
of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been canceled by Hulu .

Titled Buffy: New Sunnydale , the show was set to follow a new teen mentored by Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in a partially rebuilt Sunnydale. As Gellar said in an Instagram video: I am really sad to have to share this, but I wanted you all to hear it from me. Unfortunately, Hulu has decided not to
move forward with Buffy: New Sunnydale . Article continues below You may like Buffy: New Sunnydale has been canceled by Hulu Ready or Not 2 star admits

"I want to thank Chlo Zhao because I never thought I would find myself back

To me, director duo Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) are an obvious choice to save the show we all desperately want and need...
and the good news is that they'd be "absolutely honored". Buffy: New
Sunnydale would be epic with Radio Silence at the helm and they're not

be honored to have a hand in that," Gillett graciously responds when I ask
the pair about potentially saving the Buffy reboot. It's not like they've got much on the roster just a small gap between Scream 7 and Ready or Not 2 both being released this month before production for The Mummy 4 hopefully starts in August.

But who cares if we have to wait a while? They both make it clear to me that from working with Gellar, she's one of the greatest 'final girls' (the girl who makes it to the end) in the horror genre of all time... and they've
worked with an absolutely incredible list.

"We've got really lucky with the actors we've worked with: Melissa Barrera, John Ortega, Catherine Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar," Bettinelli-Olpin adds. "It's shocking to us that Neve Campbell and Courtney Cox are there... that's
a lot of really great actors doing really great things.

"I think, and they all bring something different to it. I don't think we've ever set out to say, 'All right, we're making a movie with a cool final
girl.' I think it's more like, 'All right, we got this great script with this great character'.

"It's that mix of like, being f**king cool, but also seeing yourself in
them," he concludes. And who ticks all those boxes than Buffy Summers?
