Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot Adds 5 — Including Severance and Frasier Vets
Scoobies, assemble! Hulu's Buffy reboot pilot just added several series regulars to the cast, TVLine has learned. They include a Severance scene-stealer, a Major Crimes detective and Frasier's son. More from TVLine Chris Meloni Joins, William H. Macy Circling Hulu's NFL Drama From Dan Fogelman Washington Black's Sterling K. Brown and Ernest Kingsley Junior Revel in the 'Brotherhood and Mentorship' Hulu's Historical Drama Gave Them Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Premiere Date Revealed - Find Out Who's Returning After 3-Year Absence Sarah Bock (Severance) will play Gracie. Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU) will play Larkin. Faly Rakotohavana (Unprisoned, Raven's Home) joins as Hugo. All are series regulars. Though no official character information is available, these roles match up with the roles of the new Slayer's close friends that TVLine first reported in March. In addition, Jack Cutmore-Scott (Frasier, Deception) will play the reboot's Mr. Burke (dare we hope he's a Giles-type Watcher?) and Daniel di Tomasso (Major Crimes) will play a character named Abe. Both are series regulars. The potential series continuation, which likely will find original series lead Sarah Michelle Gellar reprising her titular role as a recurring guest star, is said to be focused on a new Slayer and 'the next chapter in the Buffyverse.' As previously reported, Ryan Kiera Armstrong (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew) will play the new lead, who is said to be a brainy and cerebral teen that's possibly more Willow than Buffy. Further details remain TBA. Chloé Zhao (who won a directing Oscar for her 2020 feature Nomadland) is attached to direct and executive-produce the project, with additional EPs including Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui and Dolly Parton. (Berman, the Kuzuis and Parton all executive-produced the original Buffy series.) As for other returning Buffy cast members, no one from the original cast has been confirmed (yet) aside from Gellar herself. 'We will try to find a balance between new and old characters,' Gellar teased. 'My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.'
