Sarah Michelle Gellar is reprising her role from 'Cruel Intentions'.
The 38-year-old actress is going to be playing Kathryn Merteuil again, 17 years since she portrayed the seductive teenage character in the 1999 cult film.
Sarah will be playing Kathryn in NBC's upcoming TV show which will act as a sequel to the original movie.
The blonde star announced the news on her Instagram account, posting a photo with the movie's original director-and-writer Roger Kumble and the film and show's executive producer Neal Moritz.
The accompanying caption read: "Throwbackthursday (a bit early in Los Angeles) this picture was taken on the eve of production on the original #cruelintentions. Its me #rogerkumble (director) and #nealmoritz (exec producer) and the other is a picture of us now on the eve of production on the new #cruelintentions. That's right "everybody loves me, and I intend to keep it that way "#kathrynmerteuil is back!!! I am happy to say that I will be joining them (and @nbctv ) on the new #Crueltv (sic)"
The 'Cruel Intentions' TV series will follow Kathryn's quest to control Bash, the son of Annette Hargrove - played by Reese Witherspoon in the film - and the deceased Sebastian Valmont, who was portrayed by Reese's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, as he leaves his small Kansas town to learn more about his family's legacy at Brighton Preparatory Academy.
Taylor John Smith will play Bash and Samantha Logan has also been cast in the project.

Eva Longoria was once told she didn't have "dark enough skin" to play a Latino character.
The 'Telenova' star is proud of her Latin American heritage and recalled her shock at being told she wasn't right for the part of a Latino character because of her accent and the colour of her skin.
Discussing diversity in Hollywood, she told the New York Times newspaper: "Some white male casting director was dictating what it meant to be Latino. He decided I needed an accent. He decided I should [have] darker coloured skin.
"The gatekeepers are not usually people of colour, so they don't understand you should be looking for way more colours of the rainbow within that one ethnicity."
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old actress previously insisted acting is just "a means to an end" for her as she wants to use it for a "platform" for her charity work.
She said: "I've always been business-minded. I worked in corporate America before becoming an actress and knew that acting wasn't the end but a means to an end.
"It gave me the platform and the exposure I needed to do my
philanthropic work. It also gave me the financial security to focus on my other businesses, start new businesses, and even help other people start businesses."

Clémence Poésy likes thriller movies that aren't "bloody."
The 33-year-old star can currently be seen in the suspense-filled title 'The Ones Below' - about a couple who are expecting their first child who experience a few sinister turns - and said she was attracted to film because of its plot, but would have been turned off if there was more gore involved because it detracts from the story.
She said: "For me it was about the storytelling. I was really interested in the way this story was constructed, the way you never really know if what you think is real actually is. Especially with a moment of someone's life [post childbirth] that can be quite blurry. I like thrillers when nothing gets bloody, when it's about what's happening in the mind."
Meanwhile, the French beauty - whose other credits include 'Birdsong', 'In Bruges' and '127 Hours' - never watches her performances for fear that she will become self conscious.
She told Stylist magazine: "I'd just be thinking of all my mistakes and how I hadn't done it the way I wish I had... I don't want to be conscious of the things I need to change. I never look at the monitor when I'm filming because of the self-awareness."

Mitch Winehouse doesn't want 'Amy' to be the "defining image" of his late daughter Amy Winehouse.
The 65-year-old patriarch has been an outspoken critic of the Oscar-nominated documentary and is hoping 'Letter To Amy', his own film about the 'Back to Black' hitmaker - who died in July 2011 - will be a more fitting legacy for the troubled star.
He said: "We have to make sure this isn't the defining image of Amy...
"We are moving towards, let's not call it a film, although it will probably end up as a film, working on a project called 'Letter To Amy', [including] people who have been excluded from that film, [with] a guy called Phil Griffin who did the 'Rehab' and 'Back To Black' documentaries and we're going to be working and doing our own thing."
Mitch went on to slam Asif Kapadia's award-winning film as a "sham" which represented Amy unfairly.
Speaking on 'This Morning', he said: "Frankly the movie is a sham. They left lots of stuff out... Anybody who was any part of Amy's life in the last three or four years was not in the film. Reg, her boyfriend, he was instrumental in making sure that she stayed off drugs.
"People don't realise after seeing that film, they still think she died of a drugs overdose, what kind of a film is it that leaves people in doubt how she died? No mention of that she was clear of drugs for three years."
And the former taxi driver believes Amy would have hated the documentary.
He said: "She would not be happy about the film because she would not want, well she wouldn't have been happy about a film being made about her anyway if she was still alive, there wouldn't have been any need for it.
"But, she wouldn't want her father portrayed in that way and her friends, and her family and friends basically ignored. She would be very unhappy about that."

Gabourey Sidibe thinks Sacha Baron Cohen "smells really manly and delicious".
The 32-year-old actress plays an African maid in new comedy 'Grimsby' and seemingly developed a crush on her British co-star - who plays a football hooligan called Norman 'Nobby' Grimsby - during filming, after she was seriously impressed with his choice of masculine aftershave.
She gushed: "It's a really funny movie and Sacha is so funny and so smart and a joy to be around and he smells really manly and delicious too."
Meanwhile, the 'Empire' star says there were so many unscripted jokes being developed each day on set, that she stopped bothering to read the script, and an un-cut version full of 'Grimsby' outtakes would be "horrible", but "really really really hilarious."
She revealed to HeyUGuys: "The script was always updating itself so at some point I just stopped reading it and I would wait until we got to set and then I'd have them explain to me what we were doing.
"There were a ton of times when I'd just be like 'I can't believe we are doing this but I guess we are.' We shot a lot of scenes that were all too much and so they had to be cut.
"There should definitely be some x-rated or un-rated version of the film. That would be horrible and really, really, really hilarious too."

Salma Hayek and Samuel L. Jackson will join Ryan Reynolds in 'Hitman's Bodyguard'. The Hollywood heavyweights have boarded the cast of the high-octane action movie, which sees the previously-announced Ryan portray the world's top protection agent. T...

Natalie Dormer says being an actor helps her deal with how dark the world can be.
The 34-year-old actress can currently be seen in psychological thriller 'The Forest' and says she is often drawn to darker projects because they allow her to "vent what is going on in society."
The star explained: "Fictional stories are metaphors - it's how we cathartically vent what's going on in society or within our own souls. And that's what I'm doing as an actor, I'm just trying to find stories that help me deal with how dark and unjust and sometimes terrifying the world can be.
"But also the joys and the beauty and the happiness the world can give you as well. Like sibling love - that you see in 'The Forest'. So it's just an exploration of the human condition really. It's what draws me to a project."
Natalie plays the role of a set of twins, Sarah and Jess Price.
And to help her juggle portraying both sisters well, she would discuss their different personalities with the crew and make sure she dedicated enough rehearsal time to each sibling.
She told HeyUGuys: "I had a lot of conversations with hair and make-up trying to find a different look and feel to both of them.
"Because I spent more time with one I was just trying to make sure the other one felt three dimensional."
The star also identified with the familial urge to protect your sister, as she has a younger sibling named Samantha.
She added: "When you play a role as an actor there is always something in the character you identify with. I identify with different elements of both of them. I'm an older sister so that whole thing of 'I must look after my younger siblings'.
"I do love a good psychological horror. I like stuff that really gets inside your head."

Henry Cavill doesn't "feel the need" to prove himself.
The 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' star insists he never puts "that kind of pressure" on himself and is content in what he is doing.
He said: "I don't feel the need to prove myself. If you're worried about that then you're worried about the wrong things. I never put that kind of pressure on myself. I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing."
The 32-year-old actor was recently named the Sexiest Man of the Year in Britain and admits he is worried about it going to his head.
He added to DuJour magazine: "You've got to be worried about this s**t getting to your head. It's enormously flattering, but I'm not going to throw all my eggs in that basket ...
"When I'm not working and people haven't seen me in ages, they'll say, 'You're so lazy, you don't do anything!' I think the ability to look like Superman but never having to work for it would be good."
Meanwhile, Henry previously revealed he once considered quitting acting to join the Armed Forces.
He shared: "There were plenty of times I thought it wouldn't happen. At one stage I was like, 'If this next movie doesn't do well then I'm out, I'm going to join the Armed Forces'.
"Then I got the screen test for Bond and thought, my name is out there now, so maybe I should stick around. And I did."

Sacha Baron Cohen's lawyer doesn't know he used him for King Julian's voice in the 'Madagascar' franchise.
The 44-year-old British star - who hails from London - played the part of the hyperactive and egotistical King of the Lemurs in the Dreamworks movies and his exaggerated Indian accent was in fact inspired by his legal counsel.
And in a famous musical clip from the series, Sacha even sampled his lawyer's voice.
During an interview on the 'Chris Moyles Show' on Radio X, he told a story about his lawyer friend and afterward revealed: "By the way, one of the lawyers' voices ended up (on a film). I used it for the voice of King Julian in 'Madagascar'.
"You know (he sings) 'I like to move it move it?' That is actually one of my lawyers, it's not a stereotypical voice, that actually is the voice of him."
And asked if the innocent lawyer had any idea, Sacha quipped: "No, of course not!"
Meanwhile, the star is famed for creating comedy alter egos including Ali G, Bruno and Borat and his most recent character Nobby - the star of his latest movie 'Grimsby'.
Sacha would often get into embroiled with police in America when he travelled there and called the lawyer - who lives in India - to save him.
He recalled: "If I'm in Wisconsin or I'm in Arkansas and the police are on my tail, which often would happen in 'Borat' or 'Bruno', I'm lying on the floor of a getaway car - we always had a getaway car - and I would call up the lawyer and the benefit is in India they're all awake.
"I'm on the phone, he's got his team [around him] and I'm going 'Come on I need to find out, what's the law here, I need to find out if they can arrest me' and he's got his team at hand. And they go, 'Yes, you know in the state of Arkansas...'.
He added: "We always have a getaway car because the police are usually looking for me."
