Buffy's back, this time on HBO in The Wonderful Maladys.
Television has been missing one of its favorite daughters for some time now. Sarah Michelle Gellar, who sparkled as an adorable little vampire murderer in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has pretty much spent her time since 2003 only on the big screen.
But now she's headed back to what made her a big star in the first place.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has been cast in a new HBO project titled The Wonderful Maladys, as reported by Variety. The half-hour project follows a trio of parentless siblings in New York. Gellar's character is described as having "a kind of zealous immaturity--like a drug addict with a to-do list" by the project's screenwriter, Charles Randolph.
The pilot is set for shooting next year, and if HBO likes what it sees, Gellar and Randolph will serve as executive producers.
Since Buffy ended its run in 2003, Gellar has starred in two The Grudge movies, Southland Tales, and The Return. She's also lent her voice to Robot Chicken and The Simpsons.

Currently being worked on by Romanian development studio Beast, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice mixes third and first-person action to provide what 505 Games promises is “like nothing else on the Nintendo DS.” Based on the original story by Rob Deshotel, the title sees player taking control of Buffy as she attempts to seal the re-opened Hellmouth.
Described as a 3D horror title, over 20 weapons will be at Buffy’s disposal as she disposes of vampires and demons, and she’ll also be hooking up with famous characters such as Spike, Angel, the Master, the First Evil, Caleb, and the Scooby Gang.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for 505 Games and we’re working extremely closely with Fox to ensure this is the definitive Buffy the Vampire Slayer experience,” said Rowan Tafler, Global Brand Manager, 505 Games. “Buffy’s return to videogames is great for long-time fans of the franchise and we hope the huge market reach of the Nintendo DS will help to create new fans too.”
