Story photo: Sarah Michelle Gellar Signs On to HBO SeriesSarah Michelle Gellar arrives at the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" reunion, part of the 25th annual William S. Paley Television Festival held at the Arclight Cinemas on March 20, 2008 in Hollywood, CA.Us Magazine
Sarah Michelle Gellar will make her return to the small screen with The Wonderful Maladys, due to premiere on HBO next year, Variety reports.

The former star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will play a character with "a kind of zealous immaturity - like a drug addict with a to-do list," screenwriter Charles Randolph said.

The Wonderful Maladys, about three dysfunctional adults who were orphaned at a young age, is Gellar's first TV commitment since Buffy, which ended its seven-year run in 2003.

Randolph wrote the single-camera show specifically for Gellar, 31, and HBO.

Gellar, who has four films due out next year, wed actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. in 2002.

    You can't help but love Sarah Michelle Gellar, she was the best in Buffy and I'm excited to see her back...I really like the way she took a tv hiatus after Buffy ended too, she sort of honored the end of a iconic show.

    She rocked as Buffy, and Horror movie fans (like me) know her as the 'Scream Queen'. She'll do great no matter what. I'm so glad she's coming back!!

    You made my day!! I have had a mad crush on Sarah since the Buffy days. Sarah Michelle has a rare (but top of the list) combination of extreme beauty, cuteness, down to earth, business acumen, and beware anyone who gets in her way. Beauty and the beast combined in such a petite and georgeous woman. Oh Yes!!! I will watch every episode. By the way, Sarah is a great actor.I would die to chat with S.
