Armstrong has been cast in a lead role in the pilot opposite returning star Sarah Michelle Gellar. The pilot was originally announced at Hulu back in February. Exact plot details are under wraps, but sources previously said the pilot will focus on a new slayer with Gellar appearing in a recurring role as Buffy.

“In every generation, there is a chosen one” — so says the opening narration in early episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In this generation, and Hulu’s pilot for a Buffy reboot, that chosen one is Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

Armstrong, who is just 15 (Gellar was 19 when she played 16-year-old Buffy Summers in season 1) starred in American Horror Story: Red Tie before joining the cast of Disney's Star Wars: Skeleton Crew as part of the ragtag group of kiddos who get lost in the galaxy. She's set to star alongside Ethan Hawke on the new FX drama, The Lowdown.
