Sarah Michelle Gellar looks set to return to the small screen in new CBS series


After making her name in the hit show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar made the leap onto the big screen as a movie star.

But it seems she could be set to make her long-awaited return to the small screen with the filming of a new pilot for U.S. TV channel CBS.

The actress, 33, is to appear in a pilot of a new drama called Ringer.

The show is about a troubled young woman on the run, who tries to escape by posing as her wealthy twin sister. She then discovers her sister's life has a 'bounty' on it as well.

If picked up by the network the show would mark Gellar's return to television.

The mother-of-one, married to actor Freddie Prinze Jr, starred in the show Buffy for seven seasons before deciding to make a career in movies.

While had hits with The Grudge, Cruel Intentions and I Know What You Did Last Summer, Gellar has had varying degrees of success at the box office.

She has made it clear in recent years that she wishes to concentrate on her home life, even turning down a role in the hit Stardust to spend time with her husband.

Gellar has attempted to return to TV before, appearing in a pilot for HBO in 2009, although it was not picked up by the network.
