According to an anonymous source posting on the WB bulletin board that has been confirmed in the past, the network is still talking with FOX and Mutant Enemy about another season.
"Hi all. Just wanted to update you guys. Just when I thought all was dead, I received a ray of hope," the poster wrote on the WB's Angel message board. "There are some additional meetings going on this week with the [Powers That Be]. I cannot elaborate with who but only tell you that it is someone we are all familiar with."
While the news was encouraging to the fans, the insider was quick to add a note of caution. "Don't get all excited yet. These are only talks. However, it appears that the several campaigns going on just can't be ignored.
"Even though this is not a shining light, there just might be a light at the end of the tunnel. This might not turn out to be anything. However, the fact that additional meetings are occurring means that at least somebody is listening."
Other posts have suggested that the WB is going to be taking a close look at the ratings for upcoming episodes, including the repeats. One complaint from the network is that the repeats tend to suffer in the ratings and an increase may make it easier for the network to reverse their decision.
Almost in response to the post, another source reported that Sky One, the satellite network owned by Rupert Murdoch (who also owns Fox, producers of Angel and Buffy, among others) has been told that negotiations for a sixth season of the vampire drama are underway and that there will be a new season available. Sky One broadcasts both Angel and Buffy in the UK.
