Almost three decades ago, Joss Whedon transformed a film he wrote but was dissatisfied with into a groundbreaking TV series that would not only influence countless sci-fi and fantasy projects but also elevate the status of genre television. Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted on the WB network on March 10, 1997, and quickly demonstrated that compelling television could be crafted from the story of a teenage girl fighting vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats. Now, with Variety reporting that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in final talks to reprise her role as Buffy Summers in a revival at Hulu, the excitement for a legacy sequel is palpable.
In anticipation of this revival, we're taking a nostalgic journey back to the original series to highlight the 15 best episodes of this emotionally resonant, thrilling, humorous, and socially conscious show. Buffy the Vampire Slayer not only redefined the concept of a ragtag team but also captured the essence of teen and college-age angst against the backdrop of an ever-looming apocalypse.
To celebrate the potential return of this unparalleled series, we're revisiting the finest moments from the original show. These episodes represent the pinnacle of Buffy and the "Scooby Gang" navigating through absurd comedy, intense drama, and everything in between. Note that we've included two-parters as single entries to showcase the best of "beep me, bite me" Buffy!
