A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE FROM THE PEABODY FOUNDATION

Former Buffy star Sarah Michelle Gellar is considering a return to television in a comedy currently in development at 20th Century Fox Television.  Gellar would play a wife in a sitcom about what parents do while kids aren’t at home.  Shepard Boucher (Men at Work) wrote the spec script and David Hemingson and Margaret Riley are on board as EPs.
