Sarah Michelle Gellar Set To Reprise ‘Cruel Intentions’ Role In Pilot At NBC

Sarah Michelle Gellar is revisiting a familiar role.

The actress confirmed her involvement in the “Cruel
Intentions” television pilot in a post on Instagram on Wednesday.

Gellar posted a throwback pic, showing her with “Cruel
Intentions'” film director Roger Kumble and Executive Producer Neal
Moritz, back when they made the 1999 movie. She paired it with a current shot of them all together again.

film – Kathryn Merteuil — with the television series set a decade and a half
later.
