“I realized … how much storytelling helped us get through [the pandemic]. I wanted to be part of that culture again.” — Sarah Michelle Gellar on returning to series TV.
co-stars as park ranger Garrett Briggs, the adopted father of Luna and Harlan. Gellar, who’s also an executive producer, plays arson investigator Kristin Ramsey.
“In the first couple of episodes, she’s there to solve who started the fire … Later on, her motivations will become clearer and more layered. I think it’s important to note, too, that one of our main characters is gay, and that’s just the way it is,” said Gellar, referring to Harlan. “So often on these shows, it’s a side character. Or if it is a main character, there are big discussions about how his sexuality affects the family. I remember on ‘Buffy’ there were arguments when Willow fell in love with Tara. People were like, ‘I don’t know if we want to do this. We have to explain!’ But now, there’s this normalization of [Harlan’s] sexuality on this show that I have never experienced before. I just love to see how that’s evolved.
“In the back of my head, I always intended to [return],” she said. “I knew I would know when the time was right, and it started to feel like that before COVID. And then the pandemic hit and it was like, ‘Oh, there goes that idea!’ But during [that time], I realized that whether it’s new shows you watched or older shows you discovered, how much storytelling helped us get through this period. I wanted to be part of that culture again. And my kids are older now.
Gellar, who’s focused on “Wolf Pack” at the moment, said “I’m taking it slower; my days of three projects at once are over.” She’s a fan of the HBO anthology series “The White Lotus” and who like to appear in the series: “Me and everybody else in the universe, I’m sure!”
