There is a new chosen one.

Ryan Kiera Armstrong has been chosen to star in the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot. She will act alongside the original slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar, in the series that has secured a pilot order from Hulu.

Gellar announced the news on social media with a touching video of her breaking the news to the 15-year-old actress.

“From the first moment I watched Ryan’s audition, I knew she was the only one I wanted beside me,” Gellar expressed. “Her emotional intelligence and talent at such a young age are truly remarkable. On top of that, her smile can brighten any dark room.”

Lilla Zuckerman and Nora Zuckerman, who will be writing and producing the series, also praised the decision.

“We are thrilled to have discovered this generation’s slayer in Ryan Kiera Armstrong. She absolutely captivated us — there is no doubt she is the chosen one,” they remarked.

Gellar will be reprising her role as Buffy Summers, a slayer tasked with fighting vampires and other forces of evil that plague Sunnydale High. Early reports note Gellar will only appear in a recurring capacity and will not be leading the new series. Buffy will likely offer some mentorship to Armstrong’s slayer, who was described in casting materials as “an introverted high-school student,” per Deadline.

The pilot will be directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao. Gellar will executive produce the series alongside Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.

Gellar previously opposed the thought of reviving the iconic series. That is, until she met Zhao.

“I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there,” she vowed when the new series was announced.
