10 Huge Unexplained TV Mysteries (That Were Totally Solved)
3. Did The Team Survive? - Angel
The Mystery
Angel season five ended with Los Angeles being sent to literal Hell because of Angel’s actions, and the final scene has the gang about to clash with demons. Despite the cliffhanger set up it’s kind of a perfect ending to the show; after all, Angel has to keep fighting to earn his redemption.
The Answer
Still, fans weren’t pleased with the notion Angel might have died in this battle, so Joss Whedon decided to recycle some of his ideas for the scrapped sixth season and make a comic out of it. Titled After The Fall, this comic deals with the aftermath of the finale, with Angel and his team trying to save the city from hell. Turns out everyone survived, but they're having a miserable time of it.
The comic was a huge hit with fans, and unlike other spin-offs is considered canon thanks to Whedon involvement. A real season six is unlikely to happen in this lifetime, so After The Fall is as close as we’ll ever get.
