Hulu’s decision to not move forward on a planned *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* reboot/sequel series has sparked vocal disappointment and frustration among fans, who saw the buy-in from original *Buffy* star Sarah Michelle Gellar as a positive sign for the show’s viability and quality.

Viewers who grew up with the series aren’t the only ones who were let down, either: Felicia Day, who played Violet in the seventh and final season of the original series, tells Polygon, “I'm incredibly disappointed the show is not moving forward.”
