Hulu's Buf꧋fy the Vampire Slayer reboot has found its new slayer.

"I want to introduce you to [Ryan Kiera Armstrong]," Sarah Michelle Gellar wrote on Instagram underneath a video in which she tells Armstrong that she got the part. "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." You can watch the sweet video below.

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: Sk♐eleton Crew as part of the ragtag group of kiddos ඣwho get lost in the galaxy. She's set to star alongside Ethan Hawke on the new FX drama, The Lowdown.
