The series, a spin-off of the 1992 film of the same name was first broadcast in 1997 and ran for seven seasons until 2003. Set in the fictional town of Sunnydale, the series follows the adventures of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who discovers she is a “slayer”, one in a long line of young women chosen by fate to battle evil forces.

Although ignored by the major TV awards, the series was a huge critical and commercial success, spawning countless spin-offs including Angel centred around David Boreanaz’s character.

A TV revival from original series creator Joss Whedon and Monica Owusu-Breen, a producer and writer from shows like Fringe, Alias, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Lost, is currently in development.
