While Buffy the Vampire Slayer has aged well in general, there are some episodes of the hit vampire and demon-hunting TV show that haven't, sadly.

Trachtenberg, who starred in Harriet the Spy (1996) and The Adventures of Pete and Pete (1994–1996) before joining Buffy, went on to appear in films like EuroTrip (2004), Mysterious Skin (2004), and Ice Princess (2005) before scoring the role of party girl Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl (2008–2012), a role she'd reprise for the show's 2021 reboot.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer wouldn't have had anywhere near the success it did if not for this very important recasting.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival at Hulu could use the best Buffyverse characters to bridge the original show and the new generation.

Michelle Trachtenberg was found in her New York City apartment, and the death is not believed to be suspicious, police said.

Soon after, she starred in popular Nickelodeon film Harriet The Spy, which followed the adventures of a sixth grader who aspired toward espionage. Trachtenberg led the film when she was just 11 years old.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer star David Boreanaz celebrates the supernatural show's 28th anniversary in a social media post ahead of the reboot.
