Buffy fans are in for a delightful surprise as Sarah Michelle Gellar, known for her iconic role as Buffy in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' is currently filming season 1 of Showtime’s prequel series 'Dexter: Original Sin.' Gellar, 47, recently discovered that David Boreanaz, who portrayed her love interest Angel on the same show, is wrapping up the final season of CBS’ 'SEAL Team' on the same TV lot in Los Angeles.
Both Gellar and Boreanaz, who have maintained a close friendship since their Buffy days, found a creative way to reunite despite their busy schedules. Gellar playfully borrowed Boreanaz's parking stand, affectionately referred to as 'flat @imdboreanaz,' and took it around the set with her, sharing the fun experience on social media.
'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' loosely based on a 1992 film, captivated audiences with its supernatural storyline following Buffy as she battled vampires and other dark forces. The show, which aired from 1997 to 2003, also featured Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head, and Nicholas Brendon.
Boreanaz's character Angel, Buffy's first love interest, became a fan favorite and led to a successful spinoff series that ran for five seasons. The dynamic between Angel and James Marsters' character Spike, who also vied for Buffy's affections, added depth to the show's narrative.
As the 26th anniversary of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' approaches in 2023, Boreanaz shared a nostalgic throwback photo of Buffy and Angel, reminiscing about their characters' enduring popularity.
Gellar, reflecting on the show's legacy, expressed gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support over the years. She acknowledged the challenges the show initially faced but credited the dedicated fan base for its longevity and continued celebration.
In a recent interview, Gellar humorously mentioned that a call from Dolly Parton, who was an uncredited producer on 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' could potentially entice her to consider participating in a revival of the beloved series.
