Buffy Goes Back To Basics

[J.A.F._Doorhof]

Joss Whedon, creator of UPN's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, told E! Online that the upcoming seventh season will return to the show's roots. The current sixth season has featured darker storylines, including tales of addiction, kinky sex, disrupted marriages, kleptomania and disillusionment.

"This is where we wanted to go ... into the dark of the woods," Whedon told the site. "But next year is going to be very different. We're going back to our original mission statement. Back to the positive view of the joy of female empowerment. This year was about adult life and relationships--and making really, really bad decisions. Next year will still be scary and different and strange, but it will be more of a positive outlook. People will stop abandoning Dawn. Willow won't be a junkie anymore. Buffy won't be dead."

Next year's theme will be "Buffy, year one," Whedon added. "It's let's get back to the joy of this very simple concept, that this silly woman no one takes seriously is actually the most powerful woman in the world." As for the show's future, Whedon said, "We basically plot every year as a natural ending point of the show. I loathe stories that end in the middle, so we wrap it up at the end of the year. Every year. So next season, we've figured out the whole arc--who the bad guy is, what the general message is. Next year will be the end. And if there's another season, that will be the end, too." Buffy airs "Two To Go" and "Grave," the two-part season finale, at 8 p.m. ET/PT May 21.
