\n\tSarah Michelle Gellar<\/a> is preparing to slay a new generation of supernatural evil creatures.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress, who led the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/a><\/a> series<\/a> for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, recently took to her Instagram to share a video of her training at the gym alongside her new co-star, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, in the forthcoming reboot<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWarrior 1 and 2 We don\u2019t sweat \u2026 we sparkle,\u201d Gellar captioned the video (below), which sees them both doing various workouts while sharing a few laughs.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt was previously announced that Armstrong had been cast<\/a> to lead the new\u00a0Hulu\u00a0series as a new young Slayer. Gellar, who is also executive producing the series, is set to reprise her role as Buffy Summers.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeeing Armstrong and Gellar\u2019s playful dynamic even while training came as no surprise, as the veteran actress previously praised Armstrong\u2019s casting: \u201cFrom the moment I saw Ryan\u2019s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThough most plot details surrounding the reboot have been kept under wraps, the I Know What You Did Last Summer star teased in June that she hopes some actors from the original show return<\/a> for the Buffy\u00a0reboot.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,\u201d Gellar told Vanity Fair Italia<\/a> at the time. \u201cWe will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
