On Thursday, Ryan Kiera Armstrong's addition to the cast of the upcoming "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot was announced. A tearful Armstrong let out an emotional "yes" to Sarah Michelle Gellar's offer to join the production.

Previous reports suggested the Slayer's name would be Nova and she would have a pair of friends - Hugo and Gracie. Hugo was described as an "out and proud" nerd from a wealthy family, while Gracie was described as an acolyte of Gellar's Buffy. However, Gellar later debunked these reports, calling them "fake."

In every generation there is a chosen one, and Generation Alpha’s has just been announced. 15-year-old American Horror Story and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew actor Ryan Kiera Armstrong will be joining OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer star (and reboot producer) Sarah Michelle Gellar in the series revival Hulu pilot.
