Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rudy Pankow are joining forces for an upcoming supernatural romance film.

The 49-year-old Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum will take on the role of the Grim Reaper, while the 28-year-old Outer Banks actor has been cast as the Devil in Thud. Mali Elfman is set to helm the project with a screenplay by Noga Pnueli.

The film centers on a chance meeting between the Grim Reaper and the Devil at a lavish three-day destination wedding. When the two supernatural beings collide at the event, each having arrived with intentions to create their own brand of chaos, an unexpected romance blossoms between them.

Production will take place in Los Angeles, with the project benefiting from California's tax incentive program. The film marks a reunion for Gellar and Radio Silence, the production company behind the project, following their recent collaboration on Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.

Pankow recently appeared in Reminders of Him and is set to debut in Never Change!, which arrives on Hulu on June 17. There has been speculation about his involvement in the upcoming final season of Outer Banks, with reports suggesting he was spotted on set, though nothing has been officially confirmed. His character was written out in season four.
