A look back at the wild transformation of the Buffy cast as the show prepares for its reboot

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is coming back, and we know for a fact Sarah Michelle Gellar is not just producing it but she will be returning as the iconic slayer Buffy Summers once again. The renaissance of Sarah Michelle Gellar and the best TV show ever made is of course cause for major celebration, but since the show first premiered way back in 1997 it’s safe to say the cast have transformed a lot since their original days fighting monsters. They’ve been booked and busy, but what do they look like now? Here’s a look at the transformation of the Buffy cast all these years later as we all get very seated for the impending reboot!

Sarah Michelle Gellar – Buffy Summers

Honestly, did Sarah become a vampire as the show ended or something? She is literally looking like she’s aging in reverse. An absolute icon who’s gonna slay in the reboot just as hard as she did then with ease. The iconic blonde hair is beyond timeless.

Alyson Hannigan – Willow Rosenberg

The wild babyfaced Alyson Hannigan is still as cute as the babyfaced Willow the world fell in love with all the way back in the 90s. She’s had a bit of a transformation out of the Buffy cast into a more mumsy vibe, but that’s still our Willow!

Nicholas Brendon – Xander Harris

Nick Brendon has been plagued with legal troubles and substance issues since he was on Buffy, and out of all the cast his transformation is the most sobering. He mostly just goes live on Facebook these days and paints a lot, and recently underwent surgery.

Sexy daddy then, sexy daddy now. End of really. Unproblematic king.

Charisma Carpenter – Cordelia Chase

Cordelia started the show as a mean girl, but got so much depth across her three Buffy seasons and her leading role on Angel that she’s one of the most beloved in the franchise. Charisma posts so many TikTok videos discussing her time on the show and still looks utterly amazing.

James Marsters – Spike

What do you MEAN vampires aren’t real and their actors genuinely age! This isn’t fair! Still a handsome king personally responsible for my gay awakening.

David Boreanaz – Angel

THEE 90s heartthrob. And he still is. Wow.
