After the disaster that was the 1992 movie, creator Joss Whedon was approached by FOX to recreate his creation on the small screen. After painful auditions and several cast changes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired in May 1997 on the WB Network. The show followed the Slayer, Buffy Summers who, aided by her group of ‘Slayerettes,’ battled the forces of evil from atop the Sunnydale Hellmouth, located underneath the local high school.

In 2001, the show relocated to the UPN Network, and continued for a further two seasons. In 2003, Joss Whedon and his star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, called it a day and Buffy the Vampire Slayer went out with a bang, leaving spin-off series Angel to continue the franchise.
