What Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s New Castings Mean
Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s New Generation Is Here
Decades after the originalBuffy the Vampire Slayer, this new series will take a fresh approach to the classic series, focusing on a new generation of slayers. While audiences can presumably expect other members of the original cast to return,aside from Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy, the new actors will be the focus.
Child actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong was cast months ago as one of the show’s new leads, and she’ll be joined by Faly Rakotohavana, Ava Jean, and Sarah Bock, who are around the same age.These actors could be the core of the new series, meaning the new ensemble will be youngerthan the original’s when it started.
Adult actors Daniel di Tomasso and Jack Cutmore-Scott are also joining the cast, although their roles at this point are somewhat unclear aside from the character names. Given that Cutmore-Scott’s character is Mr. Burke, it feels safe to assume he’ll be playing a teacher for one of the leads.
Sarah Bock Is A Gem For This Series

The only aforementioned actor whom I’m familiar with is Sarah Bock, due to her fantastic role onSeveranceseason 2. Child actors can be hit or miss in how they mesh with adult co-stars, but she did a fantastic job paired with industry veterans like John Turturro and Adam Scott.
Of all the new cast members joiningBuffy the Vampire Slayer’sreboot, she’s the one I’ll be most excited to see. Hopefully, she’ll be given material that allows her to demonstrate her talent likeSeverancedid.
