A reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is coming, according to legendary country music star Dolly Parton.
Buffy is one of the most beloved television shows of all time. Created by Joss Whedon and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, the series received praise not only for the fantasy elements of the plot, but also for how it addressed adolescence and becoming an adult which is why fans are so fiercely supportive of it.
It ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003, though the canon of the show continued through various comic books, as well as a new podcast.
There has been constant talk of a Buffy revival, reboot, or continuation of the original series.
Not a lot of people know that Dolly's production company Sandollar Television helped make the show, and she was recently asked about its future.
"They're still working on that," Dolly told Business Insider.
"They're thinking about bringing it back and revamping it."
It isn't clear who the 'THEY' is that Parton is referring to, but it's still exciting news.
Sarah Michelle Gellar won't return as Buffy
Gellar has previously insisted that she won't ever return to play Buffy.
“I am very proud of the show that we created and it doesn’t need to be done. We wrapped that up.” she previously told SFX Magazine.
"I am all for them continuing the story, because there’s the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: ‘Every girl who has the power can have the power.’ It’s set up perfectly for someone else to have the power.
"The metaphors of Buffy were the horrors of adolescence. I think I look young, but I am not an adolescent."
