Tru Calling is about a girl (Eliza) who is able to go back in time one day, to stop ill events from happening. Sounds to be pretty good.

HOLLYWOOD "” The producers of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" have said that they had considered a spinoff "” a successor series "” when that show retired in May after seven seasons. But they've never confirmed the widespread reports that it would center on Faith the Vampire Slayer, the character played on both "Buffy" and "Angel" off and on for five years.
But Faith herself, Eliza Dushku, was considerably less coy. She made it clear that she had been offered such a series "” which she turned down in favor of "Tru Calling," a new Fox show that debuts in the fall.
"I started the character of Faith five years ago, and the character kind of traveled with me as I grew up in a lot of ways," Dushku said. "I love that show, and that character's been good to me and that show's been good to me. I love the people involved and there wasn't a doubt in my mind that we could have made an interesting show.
"But I think that you kind of go down the road less traveled sometimes and you take a risk. And I have confidence in ('Tru Calling')."
Which doesn't mean that there won't be another show set within the "Buffy"/"Angel" universe at some point "” perhaps as soon as the 2004-2005 season. Joss Whedon, the creator/executive producer of those shows, is still cooking up an idea for another show even while he's concentrating on reworking "Angel" for this season.
"Everybody, I think, is really grateful to have some time off. One show is time off where I come from," said Whedon, who, a year ago, had "Buffy," "Angel" and "Firefly" all on the air. "But (a spinoff's) still very much in the works.
"These are the works, by the way," he said, pointing to his head. "There's not anything official happening."
Which is not to say that there isn't interest out there. Jordan Levin, the WB's top programmer, said he's definitely interested in the show that's still bouncing around inside Whedon's head.
"Oh, absolutely," Levin said. "Given our relationship, I would expect that unless there's something contractual that we would have a conversation about it. I think the WB is where a show like that belongs. And, given what's happened elsewhere, I think Joss would like to have it here."
"I have no argument with that," Whedon said.
(The "elsewheres" Levin was talking about would be Fox, which quickly canceled "Firefly," and UPN, which never did work out really well as a home for "Buffy" in its final two seasons.)
And, frankly, while there's certainly nothing official or even unofficial about this, the question nobody asked Dushku was "” would you consider a "Faith the Vampire Slayer" series after "Tru Calling" gets canceled?
Not that "Tru" is such a bad show, but it's not such a great one. And it's scheduled on Thursday nights opposite "Friends" and "Survivor."
She should be available for the fall of 2004.

I think that willow is supposed to get a spin off called the witch?, but I'm not 100% positive that it's true? It was this big spoliler thingy I heared about?

Ok. Heres the news......well old news but it's still news.....
There are no spinoffs currently planned for the future. Anthony Head (Giles) was supposed to be in a spinofff mini series/movie called 'Ripper' or 'The Watcher' but Joss Whedon couldn't find any1 to produce it as long as Buffy was still running.
Eliza's 'Tru Calling' was set back but is still in production and should premeire soon.
The Willow, Dawn, and Faith Spinoff ideas were just that....Ideas.
as for Xander spinoffs....I don't think that idea was ever proposed.
If any1 has doubts or doesn't beleive me at all check out www.bbc.co.uk/cult/buffy/news.com
by the way I didn't read all of the previous posts so if you already mentioned some of this....opps.
