Joss Whedon’s fantasy drama starred Golden Globe nominee – and Daytime Emmy winner – Sarah Michelle Gellar as the ‘slayer’, a teenage girl bestowed with supernatural abilities to defeat vampires, demons and the forces of darkness etc.
Buffy received universal acclaim during its run – with many individual episodes hailed as some of the finest in TV history (Hush, The Body, Once More, with Feeling) – and has also been credited with influencing other series in the same genre.
