Sarah Michelle Gellar is coming back to the small screen — in a comedy.

The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star will co-headline CBS’ workplace comedy Crazy Ones, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The single-camera entry revolves around the dynamics between a father named Simon Roberts (Good Will Hunting Oscar winner Robin Williams) and his daughter and is set in the world of advertising.

Gellar will play Sydney Roberts, Simon’s daughter. She’s described as pretty, intense, driven, organized and burdened with being practical. Sydney is the creative director and life and soul of the Roberts and Roberts Advertising Agency at the center of the comedy. She wants to be her father but is too busy having to parent him.

Boston Legal‘s David E. Kelley will pen the 20th Television single-camera pilot and executive produce alongside Dean Lorey, Bill D’Elia, John Montgomery and Mark Teitelbaum. Jason Winer (Modern Family, 1600 Penn) will direct the pilot.

Political Animals alum James Wolk also co-stars as Zach Cropper, a copywriter at the agency.

For Gellar, the role marks her second potential series-regular role in a half-hour comedy and comes a year after the CW axed her twin drama thriller Ringer. The actress previously shot an ill-fated comedy pilot for HBO in 2009 that failed to go to series.

In addition to her title role in Buffy, the actress has voiced multiple characters in American Dad, Robot Chicken and The Simpsons. On the feature side, her credits include The Grudge and the Scooby-Doo series. She’s repped by ICM Partners, Brillstein Entertainment and Morris Yorn.

The casting comes a month after the actress was developing a family comedy written by Men at Work‘s Shepard Boucher and exec produced by Apartment 23′s David Hemingson and Margaret Riley. The project failed to move forward.

Sorry for posting this late.

Sounds like Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have a little fighter on their hands.

Since welcoming their second child together, a son, in September, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum, 35, and the actor, 36, have managed to keep their baby boy’s name a secret.

But now, the couple is ready to reveal the moniker they chose: Rocky James, Gellar’s rep tells Us Weekly. (Married for ten years, Gellar and Prinze are already parents to Charlotte Grace, 3.)

In addition to being the name of two of the most famous boxers of all time (Marciano and the fictional Balboa), Rocky is a name of English origin, meaning “stony” or “craggy.” Occasionally, it’s used as a nickname for the Italian “Rocco” (after the 14th-century saint.) James, meanwhile, is dad Prinze’s middle name.

Sarah Michelle Gellar ”had a baby boy last week in Los Angeles,” her rep tells PEOPLE.

She and husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. “are thrilled to announce” the news, the rep confirms to Access Hollywood, adding that ”mother and baby are doing great.”

The newborn joins the couple’s daughter Charlotte Grace at home.

Their 3-year-old, who was spotted out with a still-pregnant Gellar last Tuesday, “is very excited to be a big sister,” the rep adds.

“They are thrilled that Charlotte [has] a little brother,” a source close to the couple told PEOPLE in July.

“They love their little girl more than anything in the world and know that love will only multiply.”

Gellar, 35, and Prinze, 36, were married in September 2002.

At Monday’s Television Critics Association fall previews, The CW introduced a new slogan, “TV Now.” Fans of the youth network will have a bit of a wait, however, to get their fix since their fall season won’t kick off until later than usual, on Oct. 2 with the return of Hart of Dixie.

Check out what CW chief Mark Pedowitz had to say about the cancellation of Ringer, the possibility of a series based on the uber-violent film Battle Royale and holiday cheer with the Muppets:

More Sarah Michelle Gellar, please: Although Ringer didn’t perform as well as The CW expected in the ratings, online and on social media, the fans are still bugging the network to bring it back. Gellar is currently pregnant, but Pedowitz said, “When she’s ready, she’d love to come back at The CW as an actress or a producer.” He also noted the series might have done better with a shorter season, perhaps 13 to 16 episodes instead of the usual 22.

I have updated our photo gallery with 88 images of Sarah Michelle Gellar from the 42nd Annual Beastly Ball where she was honored by the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association.

The Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association’s (GLAZA) 42nd Annual Beastly Ball is set for Saturday, June 16, 2012, 6 pm, under the stars at the Los Angeles Zoo, announces GLAZA President Connie Morgan. The Honorable Richard J. Riordan, former Los Angeles Mayor, and actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, the Tom Mankiewicz Leadership Award recipient, are being honored at the fund-raiser. The Ball traditionally attracts 1,000+ attendees and raises $1 million or more for the Zoo.

Gellar succeeds rock icon Slash, a GLAZA Trustee, who was last year’s inaugural Tom Mankiewicz Leadership Award. As a GLAZA Safari Club patron and an active advocate for various charities, she is an ideal honoree for the Award, which recognizes members of the entertainment community who have excelled in establishing meaningful and lasting programs that contribute to the welfare of the world’s natural and civic environment. It was established in memory of former GLAZA Chairman Tom Mankiewicz, a beloved and highly regarded film and television writer and director associated with such films as “Superman,” “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Live and Let Die,” and the “Hart to Hart” television series, among many others, who passed away in 2010. Mankiewicz championed the cause of saving and protecting wildlife and the environment through education and on-the-ground conservation. He was additionally an advocate of charitable initiatives to promote opportunity for and interaction among the world’s diverse communities.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is best known for her iconic role as Buffy Summers in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” She wrapped her seventh and final season of the critically acclaimed drama in May of 2003. Gellar also originated the role of Kendall Hart on ABC’s daytime soap opera “All My Children,” which earned her a Daytime Emmy Award in 1995 for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. Gellar recently starred in The CW series “Ringer,” where she played a double role as beautiful twin sisters Bridget Kelly and Siobhan Martin. She has also starred in several notable film roles including “Cruel Intentions,” “Scream 2,” “I Know What You Did Last Summer” opposite husband FrEddie Prinze, Jr., and the blockbuster hit “The Grudge.” No stranger to the world of voice over, Gellar has lent her voice in Liongate’s “Happily N’Ever After,” opposite Sigourney Weaver and FrEddie Prinze, Jr., and can be heard as the voice of April O’Neil in Warner Brothers’ “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” In addition to her work in film and television, Gellar, a GLAZA Safari Club patron, is an active advocate for various charities, including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Project Angel Food, Habitat for Humanity, breast cancer research, and CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. She says, “I started because my mother taught me a long time ago that even when you have nothing, there’s ways to give back. And what you get in return for that is tenfold.” Most recently Gellar hosted an Operation Shower group baby shower for 40 expectant mothers with spouses that are deployed or seriously injured. Born in New York City, Gellar currently lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband and daughter.

Riordan is being recognized for his pivotal contributions to making the Zoo an international leader in the preservation of endangered species and a conservation center for the care and study of wildlife. He maintains a long-term belief that a trip to the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens is a rare find within a vast city that provides a beautiful physical respite as well as a magical and educational journey to other worlds particularly for children living in urban neighborhoods with few opportunities for exposure to the natural world.

Beastly Ball guests, invited to dress in casual or safari attire, stroll through the Zoo after hours viewing its inhabitants, this year with a spotlight on the new LAIR (Living Amphibians, Invertebrates and Reptiles) habitat. Comedian Jimmy Pardo serves as MC and Auctioneer for the event, which also features animal feedings and “animal walk-abouts” (chats with keepers and the chance to observe small animals up close), silent and live auctions with hundreds of remarkable items and one-of-a-kind opportunities, entertainment by world music groups, dancing to music from popular D.J. Morningstar, and bountiful fare provided by some of L.A.’s most popular restaurants.

Participating restaurants, all donating their services, are Bar Celona, Canelé, Celestino Ristorante and Bar, Clancy’s Crab Broiler, El Cholo – Los Angeles, Fabiolus Café, The Federal Bar, Glorious Gourmet Catering & Garnish Café, Green Street Restaurant, Il Fornaio, Ix?Tapa Restaurant & Cantina, Jersey Mike’s Subs – Pasadena and La Canada, Maison Akira, Momed, Pink’s Famous Hot Dogs, The Smoke House, Taix French Restaurant, Villa Sorriso and Yummy Cupcakes (Brentwood, Burbank and Santa Monica).

The Beastly Ball is presented by the private, non-profit Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association (GLAZA), founded in 1963. For nearly five decades, GLAZA has funded exhibits, plant and animal species conservation, capital projects, and education and community outreach programs at the Los Angeles Zoo, an international leader in the preservation of endangered species and a conservation center for the care and study of wildlife. GLAZA also builds and invests endowment funds and operates five essential departments on behalf of the Zoo, including development, publications, membership, volunteers and oversight of the Zoo’s food/retail concessions. There are currently 72,000 GLAZA member households representing more than 300,000 adults and children, the largest membership base of a cultural organization in Los Angeles, and a volunteer corps of over 700.

Tickets to the Beastly Ball are $1,000 per person; individual and corporate sponsorship opportunities at higher levels are also available. The Los Angeles Zoo is located at 5333 Zoo Drive in Los Angeles’ Griffith Park at the junction of the Ventura (134) and Golden State (5) freeways. For tickets and information, call (323) 644-4753.
