Sarah Michelle Gellar's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series, directed by Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao, was not moving forward with a revival due to a lack of interest from Hollywood's top figures. The news was met with disappointment by both Gellar and the head of Searchlight Pictures, both of whom produced both "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" and "Ready Or Not 2" respectively. The decision to not proceed with the revival of the series was seen as a cruel act of betrayal for both Giller and Zhao, who are both highly respected and powerful actors in Hollywood. Despite this, Gellar has been unable to fully break free from her characters and has seen a resurgence in her career, largely due to the shift towards a younger generation of younger viewers.
