Dexter Original Sin Showrunner Discusses Gellar’s Return and Buffy Factor

The showrunner for Dexter: Original Sin, Clyde Phillips, is hopeful for Sarah Michelle Gellar’s return in a potential Season 2. Gellar could reprise her role as Buffy if the schedules align with a possible Buffy sequel series. The pilot for the Buffy sequel series is currently in development, with Gellar set to return as Buffy Summers. Gellar is dedicated to honoring Buffy fans with a well-crafted revival of the show’s universe.

While it’s exciting to think about Gellar’s return, it raises the question of whether she could juggle roles in both a Buffy sequel series and a Dexter prequel series. As of now, the Buffy series is still in the pilot stage, and a second season of Dexter: Original Sin hasn’t been officially confirmed. Despite these uncertainties, Phillips expressed his desire to have Gellar back on board, stating, “Dexter needs to learn his forensics, and she is such a joy to work with. If we can work out some kind of arrangement with her other show, we definitely want her back.”

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Gellar shared her journey towards the Buffy revival, expressing her commitment to making the show right for the fans. She emphasized that the project is still a work in progress, but she feels fortunate to be working with a talented team who shares her love for Buffy. Gellar will serve as an executive producer alongside Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui, and Dolly Parton, with 20th Television and Searchlight Television serving as the studios.

As the development of both series unfolds, fans can anticipate more updates and behind-the-scenes insights into Gellar’s return to the iconic vampire slayer role. Let’s stay tuned for more exciting news!
