Hulu's upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot will include a nostalgic nod to a key location from the original series - with a distinctly humorous approach.
Sunnydale High Gets a Spooky Makeover
Leaked set photos reveal the production team has recreated Sunnydale High's iconic hallway, complete with lockers and the Scooby Gang's famous library door. But the clever twist? This isn't actually a school set - it's part of an in-universe haunted house attraction.

The haunted house exterior features banners promoting "Sunnydale's Vampire Weekend," a tongue-in-cheek festival celebrating the town's notorious supernatural history. Extras dressed as vampire-themed festival-goers (with deliberately fake-looking fangs) have been spotted mingling with vendors selling mystical curios and a macabre sideshow called "Van Helsing's Bloodbath."
Rebooting Sunnydale's Legacy
Much like Sarah Michelle Gellar's unexpected corporate-attired Buffy cameo, this approach suggests the reboot will creatively reinterpret the original mythology. The Hellmouth's dangers have apparently become town folklore, literally transformed into tourist attractions.
The original Sunnydale High met its end twice - first during the Season 3 finale when students united to battle the Mayor's vampire army, then again when the entire town collapsed into a sinkhole during the series finale. This raises intriguing questions about the reboot's setting: is this a rebuilt Sunnydale embracing its spooky heritage, much like the show honors its predecessor?
Gellar has been hands-on with the production, regularly advising the new cast on original series lore - including proper vampire bite makeup techniques. Her involvement ensures this revival respects its roots while carving its own path.
