Sarah Michelle Gellar, the actress behind the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot, expressed disappointment over the cancellation of the show due to the leak of the pilot episode. Despite this, Gellar expressed hope that the pilot, titled "Buffuffy: New Sunnydale," would not actually see the light of day. She defended the pilot by stating that pilots are not finished and that pilots often learn from them and are used as learning tools. Gellar also warned fans against reading one version of the script circulating online that is not correct and urged them not to read it.
