Sarah Michelle Gellar has confirmed that she will be reprising her role as Kathryn Merteuil in the TV adaptation of "Cruel Intentions." 

NBC confirmed the pilot based off of the 1999 film in October 2015. Geller will stay with the project should the series be ordered. 

It will follow the son of the late Sebastian Valmont (played by Ryan Phillippe in the original) and Annette Hargrove (Reese Witherspoon) after he discovers his father's journal. Neither Phillippe nor Witherspoon are currently involved with the project.  

The film’s writer-director Roger Kumble and producer Neal H. Moritz teamed up with Lindsey Rosin and Jordan Ross — the creators of "Unauthorized Musical Parody of Cruel Intentions"— for the project.
