The 47-year-old would again play the Buffy Summers character she brought to life from 1997 to 2003 in her WB, then UPN series.

A sequel series to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar returning appears to be nearing a pilot order at Hulu.

The untitled reboot is being described as the "next chapter in the Buffyverse." A successful spinoff, Angel, ran for five seasons from 1999 to 2004, so this would mark the third installment in the Buffyverse. Besides Gellar, 47, no other members from the original cast have been announced to return yet.
