Sarah Michelle Gellar is Ready to Return to the "Sex and the City"-verse

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar appeared on a season 3 episode of "Sex and the City" as the most ambitious and feared creature in all of Los Angeles: the junior development executive.
In the 2000 episode "Escape From New York," Gellar's Debbie wooed Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw with a pitch to turn her weekly columns into a full-blown Hollywood movie — starring Matthew McConaughey, no less.
Gellar, 45, recently told "Entertainment Tonight" that she'd love to reprise the character on the HBO Max revival "And Just Like That...".
"I feel like the [development] girl, which is what she was then, is probably running a studio and maybe she has a place to come back," Gellar said.
"I was desperate to be on it and [creator] Darren [Starr] had written me a couple roles and I couldn't get out of Buffy to film and I was really upset," she shared.
The stars aligned when the New York-based "Sex and the City" crew came to Los Angeles to film. Even then, scheduling her cameo was tricky after she'd worked all day filming "Buffy".
"I had a 10 p.m. call time for Sex and the City, and I said, 'Are you gonna get to me?' because I had been working since five in the morning," she said.
"He said, 'We're gonna get to you, we're gonna get to you.' I got there at 10 p.m. They got to me at 5 a.m. or 4:30 a.m. the next day, so I was delirious doing that scene, but I was also deliriously excited."
Gellar is now pitching her return to the showrunner:
"Michael Patrick King, are you listening?"
