However, what many people might not know about Dolly Parton’s role in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and television show.
The singer owns the production company Sandollar Productions, which had a hand in producing the movie and show.

The show ran for seven seasons. Dolly Parton’s production company was also involved in the Angel spinoff featuring David Boreanaz.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Not Interested
But the old cast may not return for a revival. Deadline reports that lead actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has no interest in reprising her role as Buffy Summers.
The actress said a reboot “doesn’t need to be done.”
However, she might change her mind after the cancellation of her latest show. She starred in the Paramount+ show Wolf Pack. The show was previously renewed for Season 2 before it was abruptly canceled earlier this month.
