Gellar, who previously dismissed the idea of a Buffy reboot, has changed her tune, citing the success of revivals like Sex and the City and Dexter as inspiration to revisit the Buffy universe.
The actress suggests a Buffy reboot doesn't have to be a prequel, noting that the show's themes of female empowerment make it ripe for new storytelling, as 'we need those heroes, I think, more so than ever.'
