In February 2025, it was announced that the cult series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" would be revived. Sarah Michelle Gellar and other actors from the original project are set to return to their roles, but naturally, they are all 25 years older. Therefore, after the news of the reboot, viewers immediately began to wonder: who will be the new heroine of the project? After all, it should be a young girl with typical teenage problems.
And now the young actress who received the lead role has been named. She is 15-year-old Ryan Kiera Armstrong, who previously appeared in the series "Star Wars: Support Team." She has also appeared in child roles in the films "It Chapter Two," "Black Widow," and "The Tomorrow War." She had a leading role in the adaptation of Stephen King's novel "Firestarter."

"From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl I wanted to see beside me," said Sarah Michelle Gellar to Variety. "Having such emotional intelligence and talent at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room." It is known that the new series will be released on the Hulu streaming service, with the pilot episode being handled by the famous Hoya Zhao.
