Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (HBO Remake)

fi

Changes from the Original TV Series

 * Buffy is not in high school when the series begins, instead the series begins after high school. Buffy is 24 years old in the first season.
 * Sunnydale is still the main town and focus, even though in the original series it was destroyed in the series final when Buffy was at least 22.
 * Angel, Spike and Drusilla are introduced for the first time in season 1, and had not meet Buffy previously in the high school period of her life. Buffy has never dated a vampire before.
 * Buffy's previous battles with The Master, The Mayor and Adam all took place in her high school period.
 * Buffy, Giles, Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Oz, Amy and Harmony all went to sunnydale high as characters.
 * Willow is not a gay in this version, its Xander who is gay.
 * Big Bad's Angelus, Glory and The First all are introduced for the first time in the series. Previous Villains The Master, The Mayor and Adam were all previously killed before the series.
 * Darla's relationship with Angel is explored in the series, and is not killed by Angel during The Master's rein like in the original version. In this version, Darla still took part in this flashback history, but had disappeared afterwards, only to resurface during the first season.
 * Regulars from the original series Riley, Tara and Anya do not exist in this version. However Anya did eventually appear in a later season but did not play a signicant role and was killed fairly early.
 * There is not second slayer, Buffy has been the slayer since she was 15 and is the longest serving slayer to date. Kendra and Faith are introduced in the second and third season's.
 * Dawn is still an impact in Buffy's life, the storyline with her being the key comes into play later in the series. She has been apart of Buffy's life since her own birth, and not fake memories. Instead this version, Dawn was not conceived by Joyce and Hank, but Joyce magically ended up pregnant with a child, and everything continues from there.
 * In this version, Hank knows Buffy is the slayer, and also a new introduced character is John, a vampire hunter and Hank's brother.
 * The original version started with Buffy moving to Sunnydale, in this version it starts with Buffy returning to Sunnydale after a two year absence, where all her friends and family welcome her back to town.
 * Since there is no Angel remake, Angel's character stays on the series, but his storyline does not remain in Sunnydale primary. Cordelia also has a slight change in her journey, as she stays in Sunnydale. Wesley's Buffy history remains the same, and he gets re-introduced in a later season.
 * Cordelia still gets the visions like on Angel, her character does still find herself in a coma, and these events occur in the final season. However she awakens her coma and survives the series.
