Sarah Michelle Gellar in Ringer Preview

by Shannon Vestal 4

The CW's new Fall schedule made room for a new series, Ringer, which I'm super excited about because of its star: Sarah Michelle Gellar. Maybe she's not a teenage vampire slayer anymore, but her new show sounds plenty compelling. Gellar has a dual role as twin sisters: recovering alcoholic Bridget and wealthy, married Siobhan. When Bridget witnesses a murder, she takes on Siobhan's identity and the glamorous life in New York City that goes with it, because Siobhan has mysteriously (and conveniently) disappeared.

Unfortunately, Siobhan has problems of her own that Bridget now has to deal with. Gellar is joined by a couple of my TV favorites — Nestor Carbonell (Richard from Lost) and Kristoffer Polaha (of Life Unexpected). The series debuts this Fall, but watch a few clips when you read more.
