Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: A Chronology

[Revised:  4 October 2021]
[Revised: 26 February 2018]
[Revised:  28 May 2020]

This is my version of a chronology for the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff Angel, and for their official continuation in comics.  Some of the “noncanon” comics I’ve included because they fill an empty space and do not conflict with the official storyline, at least not significantly, some canon comics have been left out either because they do conflict significantly or because they fall so far outside of the main storyline they are not part of it.

I’ve included very few of the Buffy Classic comics series because some of its overall features, such as the subplot of Buffy working as a model, conflict too much.  But I have, however, included single-issue and miniseries that focus on characters other than the two protagonists.

In parentheses after several of the comic stories, I’ve told in what they were originally published, or whether they are a one-shot, a graphic novel, or a miniseries.

In some of the TV episodes, I’ve grouped together ones in which the story from one continued mid-scene from the previous, though I had to change that up a bit with Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7 and Angel season 4.

I based the original version of this on the chronology in the Buffy and Angel Wiki, but changed much of the order it was in because of continuity problems in that version.

I should add that this list is primarily for those who have already viewed or read most or all of the entries, because otherwise this order will give spoilers to the story for first-timers.

BtVS Season 0

In the first item here, some enterprising huge fan of the Fanged Four edited all the scenes of the Fanged Four—Darla, Angel, Drusilla, Spike—in the two TV series into a separate series all it own in six parts.

The Origin is Whedon’s official version of the story that got corrupted into the movie which came out in 1992.

The Fanged Four History and Origins series is available on Vimeo.

Fanged Four History and Origins, Part 1: 1609-1764
Fanged Four History and Origins, Part 2: 1765-1880
Fanged Four History and Origins, Part 3: 1880-1898
Fanged Four History and Origins, Part 4: 1900-1943

Spike and Dru 3: All’s Fair

Fanged Four History and Origins, Part 5: 1950s

All of these stories take place after The Origin before the start of the show but include the memories of Dawn fabricated by the Order of Dagon.

Switching the places in Angel season 3’s “That Old Gang of Mine” and “That Vision Thing” is intentional.  The reasons that order is better are subtle, but noticeable if you pay attention.

Angel: After the Fall

After Team Angel destroyed the Circle of the Black Thorn, the Senior Partners retaliated by sending Los Angeles into Hell.  The city was ultimately returned to the time just before the Fall, erasing the events that happened during the time between, though residents remembered the events that had occurred there in that temporal fold.

Angel Season 6

The events of Angel Season 6 are only quasi-canonical, though events and people in them are referenced in later “canonical” comics.  The name “Angel Season 6”, in some cases also applied to Angel: After the Fall, is a fan designation, especially for the issues of the IDW series that take place following the restoration of L.A.

The two entries with asterices (plural of asterix) take place in the 24th century, as does the following story “Time of Your Life” in BtVS Season 8, but while they are outside of the main storyline, they do provide background to the main 24th century character in the latter.  In fact, Fray was a comic miniseries written by Joss Whedon in 2001, during the run of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, while Season 8’s “Time of Your Life” as not written until 2009.

 Favorite Buffyverse quotes

Some of my favorites quotes from the show:


You know, I’m still trying to figure things out.  There’s a lot I don’t understand.  I do know it’s important to keep fighting.  And I learned that from you.  But we never win, not completely.  We never will, but that’s not why we fight.  We do it ‘cause there’s things worth fighting for. – BTVS s03e11, “Gingerbread”

In the greater scheme, in the big picture, nothing we do matters.  Theres no grand plan, no big win.  And if theres no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do, 'cause thats all there is, what we do now, today.  If theres no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.  Angel, in Angel s02e16 “Epiphany”

Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh, and cruel. But that's why there's us - champions.  Doesnt matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world is as it should be, to show it what it can be. – Angel, in Angel, s04e01, “Deep Down”

We’re all on death’s door, repeatedly ringing the door bell like maniacal Girls Scouts trying to make quota. – Anya, in BTVS, s07e20, “Touched”

How about this?  It’s here.  It’s been here all along underneath.  You’re just too damn stupid to see it…The Apocalypse, man.  You’re soaking in it.  Not an apocalypse, The Apocalypse.  What’d you think, a gong was gonna sound, time to jump on your horses and fight the big fight?  Starting pistol went off a long time ago, boys.  You’re playing for the bad guys.  Every day you sit behind your desk and you learn a little more how to accept the world for the way it is.  Well, here’s the rub: heroes don’t do that.  Heroes don’t accept the world the way it is.  They fight it. – Lindsey, in Angel, s05e17, “Underneath”
