Sarah Michelle Gellar shared a heartwarming moment to Instagram!
On Thursday, it was announced Ryan Kiera Armstrong would be playing the lead role in the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival. And the moment the teen found out was captured on camera! The OG herself got to pass the baton… er, the stake! SMG captioned the post:
“I want to introduce you to @ryankarmstrong From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence , and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room. Welcome to #NewSunnydale #btvs”
Aww, how sweet!

While on a video call in the clip, Sarah asked the 15-year-old:
“How do you feel about helping me save the world? You wanna be my chosen one? Will you stand by my side and save the world?”
This already made Ryan break down into tears, before Sarah added:
“Ryan, we all love you and from the moment we saw the tape, there was nobody else in our eye that could do it, that we wanted to do it with and I am so excited to stand by your side and have you be my partner on this journey. You earned it … you are our chosen one.”
