I dont know if this is fully confirmed but i found it on www.slayage.com.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Concluding months of Internet speculation, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar will indeed be hanging up her wooden stakes come May at the conclusion of the show's seventh season.While Gellar has given Entertainment Weekly an exclusive regarding her departure for its March 7 issue, sources close to the UPN series confirm to Zap2it.com that the actress will not be part of the cast should "Buffy" return in the fall.Much about the fate of the show remains up in the air. Core cast members Alyson Hannigan and Nicholas Brendon have both said they believe it's the final year for the show, but no official word has come down from "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon, UPN or producer 20th Century Fox.Rumors of a possible spin-off still run rampant, although the most likely candidate -- based on the character of Buffy's fellow slayer Faith -- now seems iffy at best since actress Eliza Dushku (who plays the recurring role on both "Buffy" and "Angel") has signed on for a drama pilot with FOX.

Probably cause he dear godly hates reporters 😉
 
This is a public forum, and we are much kinder then reporters ... open invitation waiting here, mr. Whedon!
 
'lol' We wish. I think he also likes to keep everyone guessing and waiting, but indeed this looks like the end of an era. 🙁
 
I don't blame her either. She has put in seven wonderful years on Buffy and she deserves to pursue a film career. Thanks for the memories Sarah!!😎 😛
 
We cant blame her for her descision, i'll support her whatever she does after Buffy. I'm sad that shes finished with it, but i think the show may have gone done hill if it continued season 8.
especially becuase i dont know how they would find a big bad, badder than The First.
I still look forward to seeing a spin-off, and theres always Angel, with the very beatifull Cordelia. (mmmmmm Cordy)
 
Which Characters should stay for the spinoff?

James, Michele and Nick definitely want to stay so Spike, Dawn and Xander are in.
Sarah(Buffy) and Emma(Anya) are out.
Alyson(Willow) is not sure... hum...
And I don't know about Tony(Giles)...

Dawn needs a tutor if Buffy dies at the end so I clearly see Xander and Spike living together to raise her! 😀 Think about the new and interesting stories! LOL

(Dawn to a friend at school):
"My sister the slayer is dead so now I'm living with my sister's best friend and my sister's boyfriend. And they live together but not in a together way because that's my other sister's best friend who swing that way... *smile* Special Family... 😀"
 
Alyson doesn't really want to, but I think she will still for the first season only. As for Tony, he will go to england to make "Ripper", the Giles Spin-off!
 
Buffy must never die at the end of season 7. I will be so angry! Ive just watched the Gift and cried my eyes out, so Joss, if you read this, DO NOT KILL BUFFY! Or Anya. Or you will loosed one fan - me ok?

Let's hope simply wanting to stay is enough. 😉
 
Rocky Mountain News Article

Ok here is what the Rocky Mountain News had to say about the end of Buffy:

After seven years the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series will be over at the end of this season, said it's star, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

"Buffy, in this incarnation is over" Gellar told Entertainment Weekly magazine for it's March 7 issue, her eyes welling with tears.

The series will wrap up with a five-part story, which will include the return of Faith, the bad-girl slayer, and Buffy's first love, Angel.

"We're gearing up to tell a fabulous, huge, great arc" Gellar said. "It's going to be pretty sepctacular."

But teh show may come back to life in some form. It's creator, Joss Weadon, is planning a spin-off that may include some Buffy cast members.

It will be pitched first to UPN, Buffy's home for the past two seasons.
 
I just want to add that while its sad that BTVS is ending, I think that as long as it continues in SOME FORM. Be it Angel, Faith the Vampire Slayer. Spikes & Xanders adventures or Willows Whacky Magic Fountain I will remain happy 🙂
 
The last five episode will form a five part story arc, just like the last three about darth Rosenberg did in season 6.
 
I'm quite pleased that Buffy has decided to end.
1) Because i think it would bevery boring, and doubtful that I'd watch a season 8, becuase Anya wouldnt have been in it,
and 2) Becuase i wouldnt want to see the show fail if it failed to get good ratings for season 8, i think they've stopped where they should have. I will miss it LOADS! But they have given us 7 wonderful years of the show. We've always got a spin-off to look forward to, and i hope Willow, Xander or Spike is in it.
 
It means that there will be a story ach for five episodes rather than two eg. Becoming 1 and 2, Graduation 1 and 2. it will be five episodes that are one story.

Well thats what a think.........not sure if its right.
 
oh, i get it.
so when Faith comes back, thats just all like the same day. or day after day

'Buffy' Creator Mulls Spinoff
Thursday February 27 9:50 AM ET


"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon has officially acknowledged the end of his critically acclaimed UPN series -- and is already mulling plans for a spinoff.

With star Sarah Michelle Gellar this week confirming her exit, Whedon Wednesday told Daily Variety the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show wouldn't go without her or him.

"We're shuffling off to Buffalo," Whedon said. "Sarah's decision was wrapped up in mine. We weren't interested in doing it without the other."

In May, the series will wrap its seven-season run (which began in 1997 on the WB) with an hourlong finale episode penned and directed by Whedon titled "Chosen." Emmy-nominated Whedon and exec producer Marti Noxon have just begun hammering out details of the final three scripts.

While he wouldn't discuss specifics of the finale, "We're not going to end it by saying, 'There can be no "Buffy" no more,"' Whedon said. "But it definitely has a message of emotional and thematic closure that's as important as anything we've said."

UPN execs have indicated their interest in a spinoff of "Buffy," and Whedon said he's willing. The timetable is up in the air, however.

While UPN would no doubt prefer a new series as early as this fall, "I think ideally the best thing to do would be to wait and not rush anything," Whedon said. "There are paradigms that I've posited that could start next year ... (but) whatever came next, it would have to have at its center an idea as worthy as ('Buffy' and spinoff 'Angel') were. And somebody who's pretty."


NO RIGHTS TO SPINOFF

Though UPN doesn't have the rights to a "Buffy" follow-up, Whedon said the network "came through for us at a time nobody would."

UPN gave a two-year order to "Buffy" after 20th and the WB couldn't reach agreement on a new license fee deal.

Whedon said he hoped the legacy of "Buffy," which snagged nine Emmy nominations and two wins, would be a series that was "part of the move toward genuinely strong female characters that weren't cardboard cutouts. The idea was to venerate people who weren't taken seriously and make a real strong feminist statement."

The WB hasn't yet decided whether it will bring back "Angel" for a fifth season, but Whedon said he's upbeat.

"I don't know where we stand ... but I'm putting my money on this not being the last season," he said. "I love this ... show, and I won't let myself think this is an end." For now, "Angel" fans can look forward to a guest appearance by "Buffy" star Alyson Hannigan.
