WB Cancels Angel
 

The WB announced today that Angel won't be back for a sixth season. The news comes on the heels of the network airing the 100th episode of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off starring David Boreanaz. The WB issued a statement early in order to give the show's creators time to wrap up the season appropriately.

"For the last seven years 'Angel' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' have been cornerstones of our network. The sum total of the work done on those shows has produced some of the proudest moments in our history," said the network.

"Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including 'Frasier' and 'Friends,' the cast, crew, writers and producers of 'Angel' deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB."

The cancellation might not be the end of Angel altogether though. "We have discussed continuing the 'Angel' legacy with special movie events next year, which is still on the table," said The WB. "In a perfect world, all of these details would be completed before this information went to the press so that we could be definitive about the show's ongoing future. But in any case, we did not want to contemplate this being the last year of 'Angel' without giving the show the option of crafting their own destiny for this character and for this series."

The network also praised Boreanaz, cast and crew. "David Boreanaz continues to be one of the finest, classiest and friendliest actors we have had the pleasure to work with and we hope that the relationship furthers from here. The same can be said for all the actors and producers on the show."

There are still nine episodes left in this, now last, season of Angel.

i have went to the wb site and alot of ppl in that forum r against it. its only 5th season and they have so many possibilities for the show like w/ new batches of slayers thanx to willows spell at the end of buffys finale and reformation of the watchers council and the whole wolfram and heart thing theres many possibilities . if any thing should of been canceld it should have been charmed i tryed to re watch it this seaseon but charmed just got a tad stupid when pru was killed off i mean rose mcgowan did good the next season but then it went down hill. i think if anything should of got cancelled it should of been charmed not angel.

i know i quoted myself i wanted to hit edit and i hit quote by mistake

I haven't watched the show much, only the first season, but I hear that there's way too much to wrap up in 9 episodes

theres is definitley alot to wrap up in 9 episodes.i think it should b one more season though for it so they have more time to explain things and wrap the show up.

thanx again for the full story on it sam
