Last month, Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed that she was reprising her role as the ruthless Kathryn Merteuil for NBC’s upcoming reboot of the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions. Just in case you didn’t think she was serious, Gellar shared some photos on her Instagram that confirmed her commitment to the project.
Gellar, 38, shared a photo of her newly-brunette locks (for her Cruel Intentions character) with the caption, “#brownhairdontcare (actually kind of love it!!) thank you everyone.”

If that’s not enough to get you psyched for the new series, Sarah also posted a photo of the script for the new series’ pilot with the caption, “How I am spending the 17 anniversary of the release of #cruelintentions.”

The news came out last week that Kate Levering of Drop Dead Diva was cast as Reese Witherspoon’s character, Annette. The reboot will take place 15 years after the film’s ending. (The Hollywood Reporter has more backstory on Annette, along with potential spoilers.) Other new cast additions include Nathalie Kelley (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) and Coby Bell (Burn Notice), who will play Sarah Michelle Gellar’s scheming husband. Bell and Gellar actually worked together before on an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer in 1997!
So, the big question is, are you excited? There was a sequel to Cruel Intentions, believe it or not, and Amy Adams played Sarah’s part. I am not a big fan of reboots, they are always disappointing. Maybe if I come into this one with low expectations, I won’t be disappointed. I thought the original movie was kind of “meh” (sorry), and now I’m kind of into soapy series, so I might actually give this one a peek. Sarah’s hair looks fab though.
