The Official Buffy Spinoff Discussion Thread

Well, if there's a spinoff, I'd definitely like to have a Willow spinoff. Basically Willow has been developing for a long time now and season 6 and 7 really let her shine. Her character has become really strong and can she can more than likely hold her own show. The story behind witches and magic have been somewhat explored in the Buffyverse but there's way more to be said. They mentioned a little bit about the Coven in the first episodes of Buffy Season 7. They seem pretty mysterious so there's a possiblity for a show there.

Cordelia could very well get her own show. I really liked her character and she developed so well. It all went downhill when she became evil and gave birth to Jasmine. When she came back for the Angel 100th episode, I knew right then that with being part demon with visions from The Powers that Be, someone has to answer those calls even if Angel isn't the one anymore. I know that Cordelia technically died but in the Buffyverse, anything can happen.

Spike getting his own show would be cool but I don't really know what he'd be doing. What would his show be about? How will it be different than Angel because essentially the two of them are now both vampires with souls and both seem to be "the champion." Spike is one of my favorite characters and if they do a show with him, they need to make his show distinct. If they can pull that off, I'm all for it.

The same goes for Faith. The story of the Slayer has already run its course through Buffy's show. Faith is different but there also needs to be something that really makes her show great. I like the idea that she's been a rogue slayer and that she's been down a dark road that not many have travelled. Her as a character is very interesting but plot wise, what will they do that hasn't been done on Buffy's show?

Well, that's my spiel. I just really hope that there's a spinoff some time soon. I really want to have a new place and show to go nuts over.
 
Now that Angel is ending I'm hoping for a Spike spin-off. He's the only character from Buffy I like (damn Joss won't do an Angel spin-off). Whatever the spin-off is it is under a lot of pressure to do well. Now that both Buffy and Angel have done well and both carved out their own place in TV history the new show will have to do the same (if not better).
 
I'd say a Willow spinoff with Xander in it would be my favourite. The Ripper thing sounds very good aswell, I'd love to watch it, especially if Dawn was in it, and her and Giles were sort of father/daughter...
 
this is only my imagination working and a lot of spare time, but i think i would be cool to see a spinoff with spike, faith, willow, andrew and anya (if she hadn't died)... and perhaps wes.. i kind of "cool bad-guys who are rediming" thing.. (well tecnacly andrew was evil..). faith would be the slayer who's dresses in leather and makes subtext an art, spike would be as always spike😀 ..and do not compare him to angel, coz he's diferent from angel.. anya could be a ghost "haunting" and sayng funny and at the same time profund and true things because she has nothing better to do with her now free time of after-life.. andrew would be the kind of watcher..only in an andrew version.. and wes.. i don't know you tell me..
this would be a cool thing because everybody here has killed someone and had been at some point evil..
but seriusly now, i would love a spike, or faith spin-off..

A Spike spin-off would turn out to be too much like Angel, I think. A Faith spinoff would be great.

But wouldn't a Faith spin-off be too much like Buffy?

How does a new 'type of monster' make a show unique and different? So we've seen a show starring a Slayer and one starring a vampire before, what's your point? How many shows have we seen starring regular humans? How many doctor and lawyer shows? How many cop shows? Are they all the same? It isn't the type of character, it's what you do with him/her. It's like you're saying that The Cosby show was just like ER because both shows star doctors.

On that note then Angel and BtVS are retreads because we've had series before that starred people who were, or were hunting vampires (several BBC shows come to mind, as well as Dark Shadows, Forever Knight and even The X-Files).

Thing is, Charmed is out there. If you rule out a show about vampires or Slayers because it's been done, then you should rule out a show about witches as well, because it has too.

Have a little faith in Whedon people. His shows are about people not about gimmicky main characters. He could easily do a show about another vampire or Slayer and have it be fresh.
 
Well with the possibilty of tru Callings not being ppicked up for a second season now, there's hope of a Faith Spin off.. Now the story I heard about the Faith Spin off, would be Faith Traveling the cointry helping on the way while she was on the run from the law... I would like to see a spin off of Faith, but not on the run.. I would like to see here return to LA and take over where Angel left off.. Maybe having a few others from both shows joining her to fight what ever evil that may be lurking about.. Willow,Xander, Spike, Wesley, and Fred.. No Andrew, no offense didn't really like the guy.. Xander was the comic relief not Andrew...lol
 
Out of interest, this gonna become the Angel and Buffy Spinoff discussion, or will we get a seperate Angel one?

-edit-

Yay, someone else who doesn't like Andrew 😀

And as CC* said below, Tru has been picked up.
 
Ashsan-will toss it up to the admins and see what they think 😀

Closing this thread now. We will continue this discussion in a Buffy AND Angel Spinoff Discussion 🙂
