People Are Just Realising Dolly Parton's Unlikely Link To Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 'Shooketh'

Many fans of Buffy The Vampire Slayer have had a startling realisation about a certain member of the show’s behind-the-scenes team.

The hit supernatural fantasy drama ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2002, with Sarah Michelle Gellar playing the titular slayer alongside a cast that included Alyson Hannigan, Anthony Head and David Boreanaz.

What you might not have realised is that none other than Dolly Parton was an uncredited producer on Buffy, as she co-founded the production company Sandollar that helped the show get made.

In 2024, the country megastar told Business Insider that a reboot of Buffy could be in the works.

“They’re still working on that,” the Jolene singer claimed. “They’re thinking about bringing it back and revamping it.”

But for many people, it wasn’t what Dolly said that stuck out for them, but the news she was quietly involved in Buffy at all:
