While the series may have come to an end more than two decades ago, fans have continued to wonder if there could ever be further instalments.

Well, more recently, there's been some exciting updates for the future of Buffy, as Dolly Parton, whose production company Sandollar Productions produced the original show and spin-off Angel, confirmed there were some early plans for a Buffy reboot.

She told Business Insider in January: "They're still working on that. They're thinking about bringing it back and revamping it."

Since then, there hasn't been any word on whether a Buffy reboot could be coming to fruition but nonetheless, Parton's sentiments were certainly an exciting update for fans.

However, we do know that Gellar likely won't return in the leading role of Buffy.

She previously told SFX: "I am very proud of the show that we created, and it doesn't need to be done. We wrapped that up. I am all for them continuing the story, because there's the story of female empowerment. I love the way the show was left: 'Every girl who has the power can have the power.'"

Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be coming to ITVX in 2025.
