Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the best supernatural teen dramas ever, and my favorite show of all time. The beloved series has remained a cult classic, with fans able to re-watch its original seven-season run with a Hulu subscription. Unfortunately Hulu decided to scrap the revival New Sunnydale, after previously announcing a full season order. And it sounds like not even rewrites could have helped bring it to life.
Folks were hyped when Sarah Michelle Gellar revealed she was finally returning as Buffy Summers in a reboot pilot for New Sunnydale. Things got even more real when a full season was ordered, with fans eager to see how the narrative would continue after the Buffy series finale. But it's all been dropped and, per a report by THR, Nora and Lilla Zuckerman rewrote the pilot in order to solve some of its issues. But it just wasn't enough.
