Busting back into television with a dual role, Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s return to TV in Ringer is one of the hot Fall shows to watch.
The beloved Buffy actress plays twins, one trying to get her life in order and the other who’s life seems to be pretty darn perfect.
The 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 mysteriously, 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.
While there will be nothing supernatural about this noir thriller, both of SMG’s sisters will have their stories told through flashbacks although the focus will be mostly on Bridget for season 1 and sister’s rivalry will be explained.
At the Comic-Con panel a new trailer was released and show creator Eric Charmelo spoke about the theme.
“At the end of the day, it’s a character study about twin sisters and the nature of sibling rivalry,” he said. “It’s about identity, and redemption, and revenge.”
“And just when you think you’ve figured something out, we’re going to throw a wrench into the equation and take it on a completely different tangent,” he continued. “It keeps things fresh.”
