It has been clear since the beginning of February 2025:Buffy returns!And after almost exactly 28 years. Because the first episode in America actually flickered on March 10, 1997.

Before you take out the stake and look for vampires: Sarah Michelle Gellar will probably not be directly in the main focus in the reboot.First character details for the new main characterAnd your friends already exist.

If you are still getting in your head after the right information:The original series Buffy is about 16-year-old Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who moves to Sunnydale with her mother. There she meets her new guard Rupert Giles (Anthony Head), who is supposed to teach her to become a good demon hunter. She gets help from her new friends Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon) and Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan).

The new hunter and hersScoobies

Buffy steps into the footsteps of her mentor Giles in the reboot. Her new student is called "Nova", but some suspect that this could only be one placeholder.

SeaTvlineNova seems to share more properties with Buffy's introverted girlfriend Willow than with her confident and open mentor. Nova is currently described as a "very clever loner". This can also change in the creative process.

Nova should - just like Buffy - get a group of friends aside. In the original series, the crew was initially baptized lovingly consisting of Xander, Willow, Rupert and Buffy. Accordingly, Nova probably gets her own "scoobies." This includes (viaComicBookMovie):

  • Hugo:A confessing nerd that comes from a rich family and is secretly in love with Nova
  • Gracie:Nova's best friend, an expert in the field of vampires, and Buffy's greatest fan
  • Cole:The leader of the group and very self -confident

There are also two other main characters and a secondary figure:

  • Abe:Nova's father and a committed photo journalist (40-60 years)
  • Mr. Burke:The school librarian who later becomes a vampire undead (30-60 years)
  • Mia:Spends a lot of time on social media and is somehow pulled into the supernatural chaos

Currently looking for suitable actors for the roles, they should either be youthful or at the beginning of 20.
