Season five regulars; Bufyy, Willow, Xander, Anya, Spike and Dawn will all be returning. Giles will make guest appearences throughout the series but is off making another spin-off show called 'Ripper' for the BBC. Tara is also said to have signed up for 12 episodes.

Buffy will be brought back from the dead by Willow. The scoobys think she has been in a hell dimension but infact she was in heaven.

Crossovers with Angel are unlikely. If they are necessary, they will happen.

No new Slayer. Joss says no. When Faith dies, a new Slayer will be called, but otherwise, no.

Amy makes an appearance in "Doublemeat Palace," but Rack is not seen again up through ep. 14 and Amy's last appearance on good terms with Willow is in 12.

Season Bad guys; Geeky trio made up of Jonathon, Warren (the robot guy) and the hell-dog prom guys brother. However rumour has it that the real bad guy of the series will be willow?!?

Willow and Tara will break up, after Willow goes spell crazy.

There will be a musical episode with all the songs written by Joss Whedon and performed by the cast.
