Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American television series created by Joss Whedon that premiered on March 10, 1997. It concluded on May 20, 2003, after seven seasons with 144 episodes in total, plus an unaired pilot episode.

The first five seasons aired on The WB, and in 2001, it transferred to UPN for its final two seasons.[1] In the United Kingdom, the entire series aired on Sky1 and BBC Two, and on TV3 in Ireland. The story line is continued in comic book form in Season 8, Season 9, Season 10, Season 11, and concluded with Season 12.
