- ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’: Where Is The Original Cast Now?

Sarah Michelle Gellar, the chosen one herself, remained a constant presence on screen. The ’90s favorite took on a mix of film and TV roles, returning to her supernatural roots in 2023 with ‘Wolf Pack.’ In 2025, plans for a Buffy sequel headed by Gellar briefly gained momentum before being scrapped by Hulu, with Gellar sharing the disappointing news herself on Instagram. Alyson Hannigan, who played Willow, found major success beyond Sunnydale with the ‘American Pie’ films and a long run on ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ More recently, she appeared in Disney’s live-action ‘Kim Possible’ and competed on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in 2023. Nicholas Brendon, known as Xander, continued acting in series like ‘Criminal Minds’ and ‘Private Practice’ following Buffy’s conclusion. His later life was marked by struggles with mental health and legal issues and multiple stints in treatment. In March 2026, Brendon tragically died in his sleep at the age of 54.
