Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan Hope ‘Buffy’ Reboot Brings Comfort

On SiriusXM Hits 1’s “The Morning Mash Up,” special guests Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alyson Hannigan opened up about their hopes for the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot.

“I hope that it brings comfort,” Sarah Michelle said. “I think for me … the big thing is that when you realize all these years later that the show still translates, because sometimes you watch a show that you loved and you see it now and you’re like, ‘Okay,’ but it doesn’t have the same meaning.”

She continued, “And ‘Buffy’ is still hitting people who are watching it for the first time, and they’re seeing themselves, and they’re seeing their friends, and they’re finding their chosen family. And I think more than ever right now, as we get more and more divided, we need that chosen family, so I hope to provide a new chosen family.”

“The Morning Mash Up” hosted by Nicole Ryan, Ryan Sampson, and Stanley T airs weekday mornings on SiriusXM’s Hits 1 (Ch. 2). Stream full episodes on the SiriusXM app.
