    Chase Sui Wonders had a lot of "fun" working on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot

    The 29-year-old actress has landed a mystery role on the upcoming series after befriending Sarah Michelle Gellar - who reprises her role as Buffy Summers - and she was thrilled to be part of the project


    She told Deadline: "Sarah Michelle Geller is just such a force to be reckoned with. We became fast friends on I Know What You Did last Summer. She's an incredible woman and just a cool person, and she asked me if I wanted to do it.

    "Then she told me about Chloé Zhao directing and [Nora and Lilla Zuckerman] showrunning. And then Eric Kissack, who is actually our editor on The Studio, is also editing the Buffy series."

    The Studio actress didn't share any details about her role, but the outlet reports it is a one-off guest appearance and the character's name is Shirley.

    Chase added: "What I can say is that it's a very fun way to enter this series, and [Sarah] is on set every day, from as soon as we start to when we wrap. She's very hands on."

    Since signing on for the reboot, the actress has gone back to watch the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.

    She said: "I've watched the entirety of the [original] series, so I'm really living inside Sunnydale at the moment. It's very cool and surreal to see young Sarah Michelle just be a total bada**, which I knew, but it's cool to see that she's been a bada** for a long time.

    "It's the dream to bring back a show like this, to have someone who was there day in and day out and through the origin of the series, be the consultant. She's the onset consultant for all kinds of things of like, how do you react to these types of vampires, or how does someone react to a bite, and all the lore she's got stored in her brain. So, it's very helpful."
