There will be a Buffy The Vampire Slayer season eight, but it won't be a TV movie or direct to DVD (like I'd like to see happen with Firefly), but it's happening in comic book form. This new series is being created by Joss Whedon and is taken as what officially happened (in canon) after the series finale of Buffy. It takes up months after the destruction of Sunnyvale Sunnydale, which saw the empowerment of every potential Slayer in the world, giving the show a new status quo and the gang new roles in the training of a potential network of Slayers across the globe.
Joss Whedon is writing the first arc and last arc, and has drawn in writers from his time on Buffy and other comic book writers to contribute to the 20 - 30 episodes/issues. TV Guide chatted with Whedon about this new season and how it'll work. Yes, there will be appearances by Spike and Angel, but no insight into what occurred at the end of Angel or beyond.

Buffy moved to Sunnyvale? Sunnyvale? What is this Sunnyvale of which you speak? That would Sunnydale, with a "d" my friend. And you call yourself a pop culture nerd. I mean seriously.
ooh bad geek. bad bad geek. I shall repent and start purchasing the DVD sets, of which I have none, and watch until it's burned into my cornea...
