Sarah Michelle Gellar Begins Training Buffy Reboot's New Slayer — Watch

From the looks of a new video shared by Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar Friday, we'd say the new Slayer-in-training has... potential.

In the new Instagram reel, Gellar and Ryan Kiera Armstrong (aka, "Warrior 1 and 2," per the caption) can be seen preparing for battle, as both women work their bodies to the max in preparation for vampires, demons and the forces of darkness. It looks like quite a full workout, too! Squats, arms, lunges. Giles would be so proud.

Gellar captioned the video (that was set to the tune of "The Warrior" by Scandal featuring Patty Smyth) with, "We don't sweat... we sparkle." Watch the Slayers' training clip in full below.

The Buffy sequel series pilot was formally announced in February, with Armstrong's casting following in May. Though not many character details are available as of yet, Armstrong's Nova is said to be more Willow than Buffy, and she'll most likely have a Scooby gang of her own in new characters Gracie, Larkin and Hugo.

The reboot pilot has also cast Kingston Vernes in the potentially recurring role of Carson, "a junior Olympian and popular student at New Sunnydale Academy" who takes notice of new slayer Nova following a life-altering event.
