Sarah Michelle Gellar explained she enjoys working on projects that deal with supernatural creatures because it allows the characters to explore emotions through the monsters.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. are officially parting ways with their Los Angeles home.

During a recent interview with People in March, Gellar discussed her decision to step away from acting for almost 10 years, noting she felt she was "so defined by my work and my career" that she needed to step back.

"I had my second child. I was on ‘The Crazy Ones.’ Robin [Williams] passed away," she told People in an interview cover story. "And then I just ... I think my world shifted. It was this moment of, 'Holy s---, things change in a moment.' For the first time I wanted a break, and I had never wanted a break before."

Gellar got her big break in acting at 16 years old on "All My Children" and later became a household name starring in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Cruel Intentions," "Scooby-Doo" and its sequel.

After starring in "The Crazy Ones" with Williams in 2014, she largely stepped away from major TV and film projects, noting, "I’m so glad that I did, because it’s time I can never get back with my kids."

The reboot, titled "Buffy: New Sunnydale," was going to see Gellar reprise her role as Buffy, but would follow the story of a new slayer, but the actress announced in March 2026 that Hulu had shelved the reboot.

"We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and how it wasn't for him," Gellar told People in March.

"That's very hard when you're taking a property that is as beloved as 'Buffy,' not just to the world, but to me and Chloé. So that tells you the uphill battle that we had been fighting since day one, when your executive is literally proud to tell you that he didn't watch it."
