Nearly three decades ago, Joss Whedon transformed a middling film of his own creation into a groundbreaking television series. "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" redefined sci-fi and fantasy television, influencing countless subsequent projects and elevating the genre as a whole. Now, reports suggest a legacy sequel is in the works, with Variety indicating Sarah Michelle Gellar is in advanced negotiations to reprise her iconic role as Buffy Summers in a Hulu revival.
To commemorate this potential return, we've revisited the original series and compiled a list of its 15 best episodes. Premiering on the WB network on March 10, 1997, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" demonstrated that compelling television could be crafted from the story of a teenage girl battling vampires, demons, and other supernatural threats.
The show's ensemble cast redefined the concept of a ragtag team, portraying the anxieties and struggles of teenagers (and later, college students) against the backdrop of constant, impending apocalypse.
This selection highlights the best of the original series, showcasing the show's masterful blend of absurd humor, intense drama, and everything in between. Note: We've treated two-part episodes as single entries for the sake of simplicity. So, here are the best of Buffy's "beep me, bite me" moments!
