Only returning cast member listed from the previous series is Buffy.
Per Variety
" Officially titled “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale,” the Hulu reboot recently wrapped its pilot episode. Ryan Kiera Armstrong stars as a new slayer with Gellar appearing in a recurring role as Buffy.
Gellar said it was director and reboot executive producer Chloé Zhao who convinced her to reprise the iconic character. “Chloe had this idea in a world and the passion with which she spoke both about her idea and the show made me realize that now more than ever we need those heroes to believe in,” Gellar explained. “It’s tough times for everybody right now, and I think people feel more isolated and more alone and we live in an incredibly digital society. But ultimately the more and more technologically connected we get, the more disconnected we’re becoming and so found family and those true moments become more and more important.”
Gellar also said viewers don’t have to watch the original series to understand the reboot.
“This is a show that will cater definitely to the [original fans]. There will always be Easter eggs because there was Easter eggs in the original…but we also want to introduce it to people that maybe haven’t seen the show.”
