And we, first and foremost, see ourselves as the guardians of the original show,\u201d Zhao said. \u201cOur priority for Sarah and for us has always been to be truthful to the show, to be truthful to our fans.

-\u201cI\u2019m sure many of you have already heard the news by now, but I wanted to come on here and say thank you for all the support that you guys have given me and the show,\u201d Armstrong said. \u201cThroughout the past couple of months, it\u2019s been really special. I\u2019m really proud of what we did. I\u2019m sad that you guys won\u2019t be able to see it, but that doesn\u2019t take away from the amazing experience that I had. I want to say thank you to Sarah [Michelle Gellar], the second sisters [and] Chlo\u00e9 Zhao. I love you guys, and I also want to say thank you to old fans and all the people that believed in this new chapter and who believed in me. So thank you, guys. Thank you to the cast that I worked with. You guys are awesome. But I guess all I want to say is, you know, we brought this back for you guys. And you know, \u2018Buffy\u2019 is such a big part of all of our lives, and it\u2019s not going anywhere, so who knows what the future will hold.\u201d<\/p>\n
