Sarah Michelle Gellar Back on TV in New Series ‘Ringer’

After taking some time off after giving birth to her first child, the former teen star of the hit television series ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ is back on network television as the star of the new show ‘Ringer.’

Gellar, now 34, is actually playing two roles in the new show which will air on the CW network. The show is scheduled to air tonight on the network and will feature Geller playing dual roles as twin sisters.

The lead characters, played by Gellar are Bridget, an ex-stripper on the run after witnessing a murder, and Siobahn, Bridget’s socialite twin sister, who is in so much trouble she’s prepared to fake her own death and let Siobahn step into her own shoes. “The joke is that I’m playing five characters,” Gellar explains. “I play Siobahn and Bridget present day, both women in flashback, and then ‘Shivette,’ which is when Bridget is pretending to be Siobahn.”

During a recent interview Gellar stated, “My family comes first, and you have to be in charge to be able to protect that. You have to be the one who says no or you don’t have a life, which is what I found out the first time,” she says, pulling off Siobahn’s high heels and curling her feet under her.

The premier of the series is tonight at 9PM Eastern, with weekly episodes every Tuesday night at the same time on the CW.
