Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't looking to top the classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer on her return to series television in CW's Ringer.
"I wanted to come back to do a show fans would love and I would love to watch," Gellar told a Comic-Con audience that greeted her with wild applause Thursday. When she read the script, "I realized it was the first time in a really long time I was surprised by something."
In the new series, Gellar plays twin sisters, Bridget, a witness who is on the run, and Siobhan, a woman with a seemingly better life. When Siobhan disappears, Bridget takes on her twin's identity.
Gellar said she's able to keep the two very different characters separate.
"The Bridget story is one of redemption and the Siobhan story is one of revenge. As long as you can keep that in the back of your mind, you can make two compelling characters at the same time," she said.
The hardest part of playing two characters?
"Hair and makeup. Put the eye makeup on, take the eye makeup off," Gellar said.
With a cast that also includes The Fantastic Four's Ioan Gruffudd and Lost's Nestor Carbonell, producers promised no supernatural elements in the "neo-noir" serialized thriller that was originally developed for CBS.
"There will be no vampires, no demons, no hatch," co-executive producer Nicole Snyder promised.
