Sarah Michelle Gellarhad a short stint inSex and the City, she appeared in one of the episodes in the third season. The actress appeared as Debbie who is an ambitious junior development executive working in Los Angeles. With the revival of the show by HBO Max, Sarah Michelle Gellar expresses her desire to reprise her character as well.
The actress believes that since her character is pretty driven in her career, the revival can see Debbie as a more successful career woman now. Sarah Michelle Gellar shared to Entertainment Tonight as reported byEntertainment Weekly, “I feel like the development girl, which is what she was then, is probably running a studio, and maybe she has a place to come back."
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s cameo on the series wasn’t on the agenda when the cast and crew headed to Los Angeles. The actress apparently talked to the series creator Darren Star to express her interest in appearing on the series. Thankfully, luck’s on her side as everything fell into place, and she got to appear inSex and the Citydespite some scheduling conflicts.

The actress revealed that she pitched her way to have that small cameo on the series years ago. The actress confessed, “This is a great story: I was desperate to be on it and creator Darren Star had written me a couple roles and I couldn’t get out of Buffy to film and I was really upset.”
The actress continued, “I worked all day on Buffy. I had two hours in between. I had a 10 p.m. call time for Sex and the City and I said, ‘Are you gonna get to me?’ because I had been working since five in the morning. And he said to me, ‘We’re coming to L.A. I’ll make it work’. So, he wrote this role."
Gellar concluded, “He said, ‘We’re gonna get to you, we’re gonna get to you, I got there at 10 p.m. They got to me at 5 a.m. or 4:30 a.m. the next day so I was delirious doing that scene, but I was also deliriously excited.”
The actress is pretty hopeful that the showrunners ofSex and the City’s revival would hear her plea and include her in the show even just for a small cameo.
