Interviewer Jana Letonja of Numéro Netherlands asked Gellar how she chooses projects at this stage of her career. "The way I choose now is so different than the way I used to," Gellar responded. "In your 20s, you're so defined by your work. “What is my legacy, and what am I doing? And is this the job? And is this and this and this?” And now, I have a family, and my considerations are different. “If I'm leaving my family, is it a role I haven't done? Is it a world I haven't been a part of? Am I going to enjoy the experience?” I don't need to work just for work’s sake, I want to work and say, “Okay, if I left my family for this period of time, this was worth it, and this was that job.” This cast was full of actors that I respect, but now also that I love as people, and that doesn't happen very often."

Ready or Not, Here I Come

Gellar and Elijah Wood star in the sequel to the 2019 dark comedy "Ready or Not", and Samantha Weaving reprises her role as Grace. Nestor Carbonell (Agent Victor Machado in RINGER) is also in the cast. The film ia currently in theatres.

David Crowe wrote for Den of Geek: "As the most reasonable seeming of the hunters, Sarah Michelle Gellar gets a little monologue about how there are no good guys or bad guys anymore. Everything is gray. Of course, she is saying this to a woman she intends to ritualistically murder in an offer to Satan in order to attain yet greater power. In this way, Ready or Not 2 is a rejection both of the times it is made in and the actual nihilistic despair of so many other, bitter horror movies these days."

Sarah Campbell wrote for The Nerdist: "Samara Weaving is in good company for the sequel, joined by Kathryn Newton, Elijah Wood, Shawn Hatosy, and horror legend Sarah Michelle Gellar. The cast is truly one of the best parts of the film. Their incessant bickering and attempts to outwit one another make for a delightful watch. Something I immediately noticed is that the movie leaned a bit more into the comedic side than its predecessor. That’s not to say it isn’t still packed with its fair share of violence and tense moments (because it absolutely is). I’d go as far as to say it’s even bloodier than the first. Like, a pool’s worth bloodier. I wouldn’t be surprised if fake blood made up half the budget."

Brian Tellerico, writing for RogerEbert.com, said "it's wonderful to have Gellar back in an action groove", and said of the storyline: "In a year when news stories have proliferated about the unchecked evil at the core of so many businesses and seats of power around the world, there’s something almost comforting about watching an ordinary woman and her sister fight the system right down to the bowels of Hell. We could all use a little Grace and Faith."

BREAKING BEAR

Gellar will be Blair in TUBI's new adult animated series "Breaking Bear". The show will follow a dysfunctional family of bears who begin selling drugs to raise money and save their home after gas companies start fracking next to their cave. According to Next Season TV, the bears "soon enlist other forest animals in a scheme that will pit them against oil companies, The Russian Mafia, local Hell's Angels and polar bears who hate anything that isn't white." Blair is the middle sister, and the brains of the family. Other characters are: Jer (voiced by Brendan Fraser, who was Pleasure in "The Air I Breathe"), Alistair (Josh Gad), Tawny (Annie Murphy), and Wolf Queen (Elizabeth Hurley). BREAKING BEAR will be on TUBI in March 2026.

Bad Summer People

According to Deadline, Gellar will star in and executive produce "Bad Summer People", a TV adaptation of Emma Rosenblum's novel of the same name. The book is set in the fictional town of Salcombe, Fire Island and its main character are Jen Weinstein and Lauren Parker. A review by The Library Ladies summarized the novel's scenario:

Jen Weinstein and Lauren Parker rule the town of Salcombe, Fire Island every summer. They hold sway on the beach and the tennis court, and are adept at manipulating people to get what they want. Their husbands, Sam and Jason, have summered together on the island since childhood, despite lifelong grudges and numerous secrets. Their one single friend, Rachel Woolf, is looking to meet her match, whether he’s the tennis pro -- or someone else’s husband."
