Entertainment Weekly gathered the extensive cast together for a photoshoot.
Whedon, who has since directed Marvel Universe cinematic blockbusters, described the get-together as "surreal".
"For the most part, this is like a high school reunion but much worse because they all still look really great. I was hoping some of them would puff out a bit. But that did not take place," the show's director says.
"It's the ultimate metaphor: horrors of adolescence manifesting through these actual monsters. It's the hardest time of life," Gellar, who depicted the vampire-hunter Buffy Summers in the show, says.
"I'm so incredibly proud of what we all created. Sometimes you need distance to really understand the gravitas of that. I appreciate everything about that job. As an actor, all you ever want to do is leave your mark - you want to do something that affects people."
Alyson Hannigan says "It was the role of a lifetime. I met the love of my life (Alexis Denisof, Wesley in the show). And just to get to go to work every day and have Joss sort of train me - I'll never have a better experience than that."
It was recently announced that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" will return, not as a TV show, but as a series of books.
