In a surprise decision, Zap2it reports that the WB Network has confirmed that the current fifth season run of "Angel" will be its last - a sudden move which has raised a few eyebrows in the industry and shock amongst fans of the Buffy-verse.
Thus the remaining eight episodes of "Angel" will be the last to air and will have to wrap up some long-standing storylines such as Angel's future, along with more recent twists like the gang's working for the evil law firm of Wolfram & Hart.
Then again maybe not - the WB hasn't entirely closed the book just yet though with the possibility of TV movies still there. Here's the official statement from the network:
"For the last seven years 'Angel' and 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' have been cornerstones of our network. The sum total of the work done on those shows has produced some of the proudest moments in our history
Like some of the great series that are leaving the air this year, including 'Frasier' and 'Friends,' the cast, crew, writers and producers of 'Angel' deserve to be able to wrap up the series in a way befitting a classic television series and that is why we went to Joss to let him know that this would be the last year of the series on The WB.
