When Your Film 'Career' is Dead…

Filed under: TV News > Sarah Michelle Buffy

There's always TV to turn to!

Former Buffy the Vampire Slayer lead Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to return to the small screen via HBO.

The failed movie star is working on The Wonderful Maladys, which is described as an ensemble piece that revolves around the dysfunctional lives of three adult siblings who lost their parents at a young age.

An air date hasn't been set.

Geller's called the move back to TV, "a terrific next chapter for me."

Spin, spin, spin!

    Re: Swimstud – well hello there darling



  12. 12

    I love how she left the cast of Buffy hanging because she wanted OUT. Now, Alyson's career is doing great, so is David Boreanaz. She recently hit 30. I hear a toilet flushing.



  13. 13

    Did anyone ever see that episode of jay leno when freddie prinze was there and was talking about how everyone broke out into an orgy at his and sarah michelle's wedding? Am i the only one who saw this?! It was a long time ago though…



  14. 14

    Remember her from "Swans Crossing"



  15. 15

    aw i love her!! hope the shows good!



  16. 16

    WOW!

    Re: mama of 2 – WHY ARE YOU OFF SO EARLY?



  18. 18

    …"Buffy The Vampire Layer"…



  19. 19

    Re: mama of 2 – enjoy!



  20. 20

    i don't feel sorry for smg at all. she's a very, very marginally talented actress who has booked a ton of work…and since when is an HBO show a step down from film? have you been to the movies lately? they SUCK.



  21. 21

    she still married to freddie?



  22. 22

    What a bad nose job. Typical 'parrot beak' of the early 90's. She needs to get it redone STAT. I'm sure her original nose is a big hook. I wonder why the original Buffy (that pretty blond from the movie) didn't get the TV show. Like Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah must know Steven Spielberg also. Oh well, Happy New Year!



  23. 23

    Re: harrysnatch – hey happy friday. i wonder what the revelations will be today.



  24. 24

    BOOYAH!



  25. 25

    Sounds like that horrible show that used to come after the (original) 90210. Now so memorable I cant even recall the name…. blah.



  26. 26

    YAY! I love Sarah. She was sooo amazing on Buffy. Girl needs a new gig.



  27. 27

    Re: LettyB – cuz i'm a slacker.

  30. 30

    Re: harrybalsac – panties??
    who wears panties???
    not gonna move up the coporate ladder wearing those silly things.



  31. 31

    I'm doing a countdown waiting for Gwyn's site to put something up. Still nothing! Not even the newsletter that was supposed to be released yesterday. We're waiting…



  32. 32

    why do you hate the most random people? sarah michelle gellar has done nothing wrong and shes a terrific person who has a great, strong marriage and often helps habitat for humanity. stop talking shit about good people and start talking shit about that ugly, homewrecking slut angelina jolie



  33. 33

    Re: karencarpenter – thanks. you too.



  34. 34

    Re: Swimstud

  48. 48

    Re: Thatguy – someone new to play with!!!!!!



  49. 49

    I hope every day she regrets leaving Buffy. She sucks for doing it and has done nothing since then. I wish they would all come back and make the comic books into the next season! Come on… don't do some other show, come back to the thing youre good at… BUFFFY!



  50. 50

    perez only wishes he had a chance at a career outside of his couch

    This is not a step down for Sarah. Her success if in TV. She's made for it. Why not let her embrace that? And starring in an HBO drama series is defintiely a step up if anything.

    Go ahead Sarah, do your thing!

  54. d_z_L says – reply to this


    54

    Re: Tara17 – You're not the only one!



  55. 55

    I don't think there is anything wrong with that. There have been some awesome shows on HBO and this may well be another one!



  56. 56

    wow i am so glad to know that i was not the only one who has had the sarah and freddie threesome gorgy dream. Oh men and it was sooo good. to bad freddie has gotten quite chubby. But men oh men he sure made me wet.



  57. 57

    alot of big stars have been in original HBO movies.

  58. RDRH says – reply to this


    58

    Why isn't this Jew procreating? My people are totally disappointed.



  59. 59

    steady tv work can be more lucrative then the a movie once in a while. besides, maybe she saved money and can live comfortably on buffy and freddie's work. alot of actors are turning to tv-movie attendance has been down and with the economy, it is going to get worse. people will watch tv instead.



  60. 60

    Leave someone who is actually talented, beautiful and a good person ( all of which are unlike you perez) alone! and sickkitten you're a tard considering she's never had a nose job, look up her baby pics you clueless cretin! Maybe having a sense of knowledge would be useful to have before you actually speak!



  61. 61

    Re: fulanito – party of five?



  62. 62

    hmm… sounds like it MIGHT be a good show, but i don't think i will be able to watch it. sarah's whiney, nasal voice irritates the shit out of me, and she moves really awkwardly. plus her nose is weird, and she's a crap actress.



  63. 63

    Re: soforlaters – come on, be fair. he sits in a chair sometimes!



  64. 64

    PEREZ …come on …… If Sarah M can make Sarah P money from HBO and pick up a few Emmy's along the way, how is that a bad career move ??? I suspect residules on SATC are far more lucrative then Sarah pee pee's movie career.



  65. 65

    so basically its an adult version of party of five? great… sarcastic!



  66. 66

    Love SMG! Wish she would come back ass Buffy. Or I wish Spike would get his own show!!

  67. d_z_L says – reply to this


    67

    This is a great opportunity nonetheless. HBO hardly ever fails to disappoint.



  68. 68

    What does she care? She gets to sleep with Freddie Prinze Jr. Yummo!!



  69. 69

    she shouldn't have left buffy…the girl doesn't get great roles. HBO series are good, though, so hopefully things work out for her.



  70. 70

    Ohhh come on Perez!!! I really dont agree with you on this! Sarah is the best actress in the world okay!? I'm sure that the tv show will be a succes cause shes the best!!!!



  71. 71

    I thought she had higher aspirations? Anyway, isn't her hubby the one with the foot fetish?



  72. 72

    HEY! Leave SMG alone.



  73. 73

    She should do what every other dried up actor does and join scientology

  74. Neith says – reply to this


    74

    I'd hit it.



  75. 75

    amazing actress.
    i believe sometimes she makes bad life choices but shes such a professional and REALLY underrated. she deserves a-list
    and we still have that haunting film with manson in it (the twisted version of alice in wonderland. so excited)



  76. 76

    If she reprised her Buffy role, she'd be famous again.



  77. 77

    Poor Sarah. I used to love her back in the late 90s.
    Anyway the new HBO series doesn't sound so New. Can u recall PARTY OF FIVE?
    Probably would be less soft than he was the FOX one.

    Let's see.



  78. 78

    didn't they already DO a show like this…? Yeah…they did. It was called PARTY OF FIVE!!!!!! Where the gist of the show was that parents die in car crash and kids have to suck it up and deal with "life"

    Whatever happened to ORIGINAL tv programming?



  79. 79

    Whatever.
    She still has a better career than you ever will.

    And her movie career isn't dead?
    She's working on 4 films idiot. Check IMDB once in a while without slagging off Celebrities because they got there and you didn't.
    i mean, aren't you relying on your blogging and some gay movie?



  80. 80

    Now Now…lets be nice! Her career is not over and she is looking better than ever. You do your thing!!!



  81. 81

    i mean, its HBO, they do well… its a good move, in my opinion. I loved buffy… the premise of the show isnt thrilling, but i might try to watch it.



  82. 82

    at least shes not an attention hungry slut moron who does drugs and gets in tabloids all the time.
