Almost three decades ago, Joss Whedon transformed a film he wrote, but was not content with, into a groundbreaking TV series that not only influenced countless sci-fi and fantasy projects but also elevated the genre of television as a whole. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is now set to receive a legacy sequel, with Variety reporting that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final talks to reprise her iconic role as Buffy Summers in a revival on Hulu.
In light of this exciting news, we're taking a nostalgic journey back to the series to highlight the 15 best episodes of this remarkably poignant, thrilling, humorous, and socially conscious show. Premiering on the WB network on March 10, 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer demonstrated that compelling television could be crafted around the adventures of a teenage girl fighting vampires, demons, and other creatures of the night.
The series' ensemble cast helped redefine the concept of a diverse team, showcasing the trials and tribulations of teenage and college life against the constant threat of an impending apocalypse.
To honor the potential revival of this unmatched series, we're focusing on the finest moments from the original run. These episodes represent the pinnacle of Buffy and the "Scooby Gang" as they navigate through hilarious comedy, intense drama, and everything in between. Please note, we've taken a slight liberty by treating two-parters as single episodes. So, without further ado, here's the best of "beep me, bite me" Buffy!
