The show was "the ultimate metaphor," Gellar says.
"It was utilizing the horrors of adolescence manifested through these actual monsters," she says.
"And I think that [for] everyone going through it, that's the hardest time of life and to understand that you're not alone through that."
The interview was filmed earlier this month in Los Angeles.
The reunited Buffy cast also appears on the cover of the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine, available Friday.
