It’s been five long years since Buffy staked her last vamp on TV - but, at last, Sarah Michelle Gellar is gearing up for her return to the small screen. Word reaches TV Spy towers that Sarah is soon to start filming The Wonderful Maladys - a dark comedy drama series for top cable channel HBO.
Focusing on a trio of adult siblings who’ve never fully dealt with being orphaned at a young age, the pilot episode is to be shot early next year and is being fast-tracked by the channel. Sarah’s character is described as having “a kind of zealous immaturity - like a drug addict with a to-do list.” As Buffy was always at its best when the title character was out of control, we reckon this is the perfect vehicle for Miss Gellar’s TV return.
