Sarah Michelle Gellar Returns on 'Ringer' - The Ultimate Double Cross

Sarah Michelle Gellar is returning to television tonight, and for those of you that are hardcore 'Buffy: The Vampire Slayer' fanatics, this is an epic moment in TV history.  SMG is starring in the new drama, 'Ringer' premiering at 9/8c on the CW.  This is a drastic departure from the character she played for a decade as Buffy, fighting the likes of the demon underworld and saving the world between classes, but she's not out of danger yet. 

SMG plays twin sisters, Bridget and Siobhan, that both are trying to escape their lives.  Out of desperation, after Siobhan disappears overboard on a boat trip, Bridget makes the split-second decision to assume her identity.  She discovers that her sister may have been keeping a more dangerous secret than herself. 


Check out what SMG is going to be up to this fall on 'Ringer':  



Official Synopsis:
Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as a woman who, after witnessing a murder, goes on the run, hiding out by assuming the life of her wealthy identical twin sister – only to learn that her sister's seemingly idyllic life is just as complicated and dangerous as the one she's trying to leave behind. Bridget is six months sober and starting to turn her life around when she is the sole witness to a professional hit. Despite the assurances of her FBI protector, Agent Victor Machado, Bridget knows her life is on the line. She flees to New York, telling no one, not even her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, Malcolm. In New York, Bridget reunites with her estranged twin, Siobhan. Wealthy, pampered and married to the strikingly handsome Andrew Martin, Siobhan lives what appears to be a fairy tale life – a life where no one knows that Bridget exists. The sisters seem to be mending their frayed relationship, until Siobhan disappears overboard during a boat trip, and Bridget makes the split decision to take on her sister's identity. She discovers shocking secrets, not only about her sister and her marriage, but also about Siobhan's best friend, Gemma, and Gemma's husband, Henry. And when someone tries to kill Bridget in her sister's penthouse, she realizes she is no safer as Siobhan than she is as herself.



The series stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Bridget and Siobhan, Kristoffer Polaha as Henry, Ioan Gruffudd as Andrew Martin, Nestor Carbonell as Agent Victor Machado and Tara Summers as Gemma.
