Sarah Michelle Gellar could be heading back to our TV screens & I’m here for it! It has been announced that Gellar has been tapped to headline Hot Pink, a biting coming-of-age comedy for Amazon created by Elisabeth Holm (Obvious Child). With Gellar on board, the YA project has been officially ordered to pilot.
Hot Pink, from Amazon Studios in association with Annapurna Pictures, is loosely inspired by Elana K. Arnold’s National Book Award finalist “What Girls Are Made Of.” The book is described as exploring “the real, knotted, messy, thriving heartbeat of young womanhood” through the eyes of a 16-year-old girl. As of now, the project is just a pilot order but getting Gellar on board ensured that the project could move quickly into the pilot stage.
Gellar is known for her starring roles in such series as the acclaimed Buffy the Vampire Slayer; cult favorite Ringer; The Crazy Ones, opposite Robin Williams; and ABC’s All My Children, which earned her a Daytime Emmy Award. The actress also has several film credits to her name including I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2, Cruel Intentions, The Grudge & the Scooby-Doo films.
