   Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Sarah Michelle Gellar is set to star in   
   and executive produce Sometimes I Lie, a limited series based on former   
   BBC journalist Alice Feeney's debut novel, which is being developed by   
   Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production and Warner Bros. TV whether the   
   company is based.   
      
   WBTV optioned the book on behalf of A Very Good Production, whose   
   DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman will executive produce alongside Gellar.   
      
   In Sometimes I Lie, Gellar stars as Amber Reynolds, a woman who wakes up   
   in a hospital, unable to move, speak, or open her eyes. She can hear   
   everyone around her, but they don't know she can.   
      
   Amber doesn't remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her   
   husband had something to do with it.   
      
   The timeline alternates between her paralyzed present, the week before   
   her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago.   
      
   Sometimes I Lie is an international bestseller released in March 2017 by   
   HQ/HarperCollins in the UK and Flatiron/Macmillan in the U.S. The book   
   has been published in over twenty countries.   
      
   This would mark a rare series starring vehicle for Gellar, who has been   
   sought after the success of Buffy the Vampire Slayer but has been very   
   selective and has only done two series since, the CW’s Ringer and CBS’   
   The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams.   
      
   Sometimes I Lie also marks a new step in the expansion of A Very Good   
   Production. It would be the first limited/drama series for the company,   
   which has produced a couple of comedy series, most recently ABC’s   
   Splitting Up Together, now in Season 2, a number of reality series,   
   including NBC hits Little Big Shots and Ellen’s Game of Games, which   
   just returned for a second season.   
      
   Additionally, A Very Good Production has animated series Green Eggs and   
   Ham coming up on Netflix.   
      
   Sometimes I Lie was packaged by ICM Partners. Feeney is repped by ICM   
   Partners/Curtis Brown Group. Gellar is repped by ICM Partners,   
   Brillstein Entertainment Partners, Markham, Froggatt and Irwin in the UK   
   and Morris Yorn Barnes. DeGeneres is repped by ICM Partners and Morris   
   Yorn Barnes.
