Sarah Michelle Gellar – We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since SMG first took on the role of Buffy Summers, but we do know one thing: she has pretty much slayed everything since.

Nowadays, she’s taking a short break from any major acting projects to follow another passion: baking. She recently launched a mail-order baking company called Foodstirs which supplies everything you need to make your own tasty treats at home via mail. She and hubby Freddie Prinze Jr, who she wed in 2002, keep busy parenting their two small children Rocky, 4, and Charlotte, 7.

Alyson Hannigan – Alyson is probably just as famous for her role as Buffy’s Willow Rosenberg as she is for her role as Lily Aldrin on another long-running series ‘How I Met Your Mother’. And who could forget her role in the ‘American Pie’ movies? After Buffy wrapped its seven seasons, she married co-star Alexis Denisof in 2003 and worked on ‘HIMYM’ until the show wrapped up in 2014. She appeared as host on The CW’s ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us’ in the summer of 2016. Alyson and Alexis live in Encino with their two young daughters.

Nicholas Brendon – Nicholas Brendon, otherwise known as the lovable goofball Xander Harris of the Buffy Scooby Gang, is also a familiar face from several seasons of the much-loved series ‘Criminal Minds’. After seeking treatment in 2015 for alcoholism and depression, he’s now proudly sober and working on several new projects. He was even a contributing writer for the Buffy Season 10 comic books

Anthony Stewart Head – Anthony’s role as Buffy’s Watcher and father figure Rupert Giles was a combination of wit and warmth that will always make us smile. Since Buffy, Head has kept busy, appearing in films like Repo! The ‘Genetic Opera’ and ‘The Iron Lady’, been a series regular on shows like ‘Merlin’, ‘Little Britain’ and ‘Dominion’, and has even made forays into radio. Plus, he’s a musician! He released an album called ‘Staring at the Sun’ in 2014.

David Boreanaz – David Boreanaz wrapped up his time on ‘Buffy’ and his own spin-off show, ‘Angel’, then went straight on to star as FBI Agent Seeley Booth on ‘Bones’ for 12 seasons. Seriously – Boreanaz has had steady work since he first stepped into Angel’s shoes – and in television, of all places! After ‘Bones’ airs its last episode this month on March 28, we imagine Boreanaz will want to take a nice break to spend time with his wife, actress Jaime Bergman, and two kids, Jaden, 14, and Bella, 7.

Charisma Carpenter – Charisma Carpenter, AKA Queen Bee Cordelia Chase, made the switch over from Buffy to co-star alongside David Boreanaz in his spin-off show ‘Angel’. She’s made appearances on shows like ‘Charmed’, played Kendall Casablancas in ‘Veronica Mars’ and appeared ‘The Lying Game’. She also played Lacy in ‘The Expendables’ films. Our favourite appearance? When she made a guest appearance on an episode of ‘Supernatural’ alongside Buffy favourite and co-star James Marsters. Pro-tip? Charisma’s slated to appear in a new movie called ‘The Griddle House’ which reunites her with other Buffy alums Amber Benson and Clare Kramer. We’re so there.

Kristine Sutherland – after her exit from the show as Buffy’s warm-hearted mother Joyce Summers, Kristine Sutherland took a break from acting and set up a photography studio which specialized in portraits.
