It seems like Hulu has been doing the vampire shuffle lately, but fans of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel” can breathe a sigh of relief – it looks like these beloved series may not be leaving the streaming service after all. Fans recently noticed that both shows had an “expiring” label that showed how many days were left until the end of February.

But some fans noticed today that the tag was gone, and Hulu confirmed on Twitter that the shows would stay.
“@hulu_support Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel no longer shows the expiring tag. Does that mean it is not leaving Hulu?” @david84685268 asked. “Hey there! Our streaming rights for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel have been extended. Let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you!” @hulu_support replied. You can view the conversation below:

Even though Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended almost 20 years ago, it is still one of the most popular ever. But it’s no secret that Joss Whedon made a toxic move backstage, involving the actor who has been playing Cyborg in the DC universe. When the Justice League actor Ray Fisher said that Whedon mistreated him on the movie set, Charisma Carpenter of Buffy and Angel spoke in support of Fisher by mentioning similar experiences with Whedon.
She said he “abused his power on numerous occasions.” Many of her co-stars from Buffy and Angel offered their support and shared their stories. Gellar has since talked about the “extremely toxic male set,” but hopes that the show’s “legacy hasn’t changed.” The actress recently talked to The Hollywood Reporter about Buffy and gave her opinion on how people see it now.
