Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural drama created by Joss Whedon, blending horror, humor, and teen angst. Season 1 introduces Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a high school sophomore chosen as the "Slayer" – the one girl in her generation destined to fight vampires and demons.
After burning down her old school's gym (to stop a vampire attack), Buffy moves to Sunnydale, California, hoping for a normal life. But Sunnydale sits on a Hellmouth – a mystical portal attracting supernatural evil. With help from her Watcher Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head), friends Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon) and Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan), and reluctant vampire ally Angel (David Boreanaz), Buffy faces weekly threats while hiding her secret identity.
Season 1 sets the tone with witty dialogue, strong character arcs, and iconic monsters like The Master – an ancient vampire trapped beneath the Hellmouth, plotting his escape.
Tagline: "Into every generation, a slayer is born."
