Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reunited on the Emmys stage in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026, nearly two decades after Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended. Their first public reunion in nine years quickly turned into a playful jab at Hulu’s decision to cancel Gellar’s planned Buffy revival. Boreanaz, who played Angel, marked the show’s 30th anniversary by revisiting Buffy and Angel’s famously complicated romance. Gellar, who played Buffy Summers, responded to his hope that the characters might eventually end up together with a perfectly dry, “Well, I guess we won’t find out.” The Buffy Reunion Had Receipts The exchange landed because Gellar confirmed in March that Hulu would not move forward with Buffy: New Sunnydale, a revival project developed with director Chloé Zhao. Gellar said the cancellation was painful, but added that working on the project reminded her how much Buffy still means to her and to the audience. The Emmys appearance also honored the Buffy cast members who died in the past two years, including Anthony Head, Nicholas Brendon, and Michelle Trachtenberg. Gellar said she and Boreanaz felt grateful to have worked with such extraordinary people, giving the reunion an emotional finish beneath all the nostalgic banter.
