Sarah Michelle Gellar - Sarah Michelle Gellar To Star In New Cbs Show Ringer

Sarah Michelle Gellar - Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, the American actress best known for her role on the long running drama series 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer', is set to star in a forthcoming CBS show titled 'Ringer' if the project is given the green light, reports Entertainment Weekly. Details of the series have been kept under wraps but it is understood that Gellar would play a troubled young woman on the run that hides out by living the life of her wealthy twin sister.

Gellar was expected to return to television in the HBO series 'The Wonderful Maladys' but after the pilot had aired the show never made it to a full series. However, 'Ringer' pilot producer PETER TRAUGOTT says he is hopeful that the show will be given the go-ahead and when asked to describe the premise he said, "It's an edgy thriller about redemption and about revenge. There's a point of view of two twin sisters who grew apart over a tragedy in their past. And one now seeks redemption and the other one seeks revenge", he went on to add, "The sister who is seeking redemption has had a much more troubled life. When her fancy pants sister disappears, she takes over her life. She's living the life of her more successful sister".

Traugott confirmed that shooting on the pilot is set to go ahead in mid-March 2011 and will air later in the year, after which a decision will be made by Cbs on whether to commission the show for a full series.
