Earlier this year, we reunited the Buffy cast to talk about the show’s enduring legacy and why it still inspires legions of fans.

“It was the ultimate metaphor,” Sarah Michelle Gellar told EW. “It was utilizing the horrors of adolescence manifested through these actual monsters.”

James Marsters who played vampire Spike echoed his costars thoughts: “Buffy was a way, through the television set, for a group of artists to tell the audience: you’re not alone, we know how it feels, we’ve been through a similar experience.”

Fellow cast member Seth Green rejoiced in how the show champions the teenage years, saying, “It celebrated all these important things like being young, evolving, becoming yourself, having friends, the relationships you have with your family, defining yourself, what’s your purpose, running from your purpose and then facing it –it’s all positive.”

Creator Joss Whedon is still blown away by the reach and impact of Buffy. Whedon told EW, “I’ve had people come up to me and say this show made me feel different about what I could be, about what I could do, about how I respond to problems, about being or being with a female leader. People getting strength from own little terrors, there’s no better legacy than that.”
