Sarah Michelle Gellar will make her return to the small screen with The Wonderful Maladys, due to premiere on HBO next year, Variety reports.

The former star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer will play a character with "a kind of zealous immaturity - like a drug addict with a to-do list," screenwriter Charles Randolph said.

The Wonderful Maladys, about three dysfunctional adults who were orphaned at a young age, is Gellar's first TV commitment since Buffy, which ended its seven-year run in 2003.

Randolph wrote the single-camera show specifically for Gellar, 31, and HBO.

Gellar, who has four films due out next year, wed actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. in 2002.
