The show that catapulted Sarah Michelle Gellar to fame aired between 1997 until 2003.
But fans had no idea that Dolly Parton was secretly producing the hit TV series.
The country legend, along with pal Sandy Gallin, own the show's production company Sandollar Entertainment.
According to an interview in the New York Times, the 9 to 5 singer stepped in when "men at the company had given Ms. Berman a less-than-generous share of royalties" for the Buffy series.
Berman originally pitched the Buffy story as a TV show.
Fans quickly took to Twitter to share their amazement at the news and to praise Dolly's involvement
Dolly Parton (a queen) was an uncredited producer for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'm not over Angel, tbh) and just...we don't deserve her. None of us have done enough to be worthy of all this good emanating from one person. https://t.co/wMlqyr5BIA
