With a Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel show is in development at Hulu with Gellar expected to reprise her role, raising questions about which other original characters could return.

In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Green is asked whether he would be up for an Oz comeback in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. The actor expresses a willingness to return, explaining that Gellar's involvement in the show gives him confidence that it will be good. Check out his comment below:

“I love that character, and if there was more story to tell, I’d be there to tell it. The upside of having Sarah [Michelle Gellar] involved so intimately with that revival is that she’s incredibly protective, not just with the quality of the work but the way people feel about it.”

What Oz's Return Would Mean For The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Revival

How Oz Could Factor Into The Hulu Show's Story

So far, Gellar is the only cast member who is expected to return for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer sequel show. The series, which doesn't yet have a pilot or series order, will hail from writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman and director Chloé Zhao, with original series creator Joss Whedon not involved in any capacity. The story for the revival is reported to follow an all-new Slayer.

Where Oz would fit into this remains to be seen, as the revival sounds like it will follow a legacy sequel formula, mixing the old and the new to appeal to fans of the original while keeping things accessible to newcomers. The last time audiences saw Green's Buffy the Vampire Slayer character in season 4 (aside from a brief dream sequence return), he was struggling to deal with his werewolf alter ego. If Oz does return in the revival, it could explore how he is dealing with his lycanthropy as a middle-aged adult.

Our Take On Oz's Potential Buffy The Vampire Slayer Revival Return

Oz Isn't The Only Original Character Who Could Return

Gellar's return is arguably the biggest key to making a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer show work, and the fact that she will seemingly be involved if the show scores a series order is a big win. This could be enough on its own to appeal to viewers of the original. Bringing back other Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters could certainly enhance the experience, however, and figures like Oz, Willow (Alyson Hannigan), Giles (Anthony Head), Faith (Eliza Dushku), and Andrew (Tom Lenk) could be welcome additions.

Original Buffy cast member Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Dawn, recently ed away at the age of 39, prompting a heartfelt post from Gellar, who expressed her love for her former costar.

Until the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival gets a pilot or series order at Hulu, there's no guarantee the show will actually come to life. And if it does get the green light, Green probably won't be appearing in the pilot. That doesn't rule out his return in later episodes, however, and it certainly sounds like he's open to a comeback if things work out.
