Sarah Michelle Gellar will reprise her role as Kathryn Merteuil in NBC’s Cruel Intentions TV series, set 15 years after the first film ended.
Gellar confirmed her involvement on Instagram last night.
#throwbackthursday (a bit early in Los Angeles) this picture was taken on the eve of production on the original #cruelintentions. Its me #rogerkumble (director) and #nealmoritz (exec producer) and the other is a picture of us now on the eve of production on the new #cruelintentions. That’s right “everybody loves me, and I intend to keep it that way” #kathrynmerteuil is back!!! I am happy to say that I will be joining them (and @nbctv ) on the new #Crueltv

Gellar won’t be a bit part player, either, with the new series centred on Kathryn as she vies for control of Valmont International, as well as the soul of Bash Casey – the son of the late Sebastian Valmont (played by Ryan Phillippe in the ’90s film) and Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon in the movie).
Bash is introduced to a world of sex, money, power and corruption after discovering his late father’s legacy in a hidden journal.
