Angel

Joss Whedon, who is wrapping production on the third episode of Angel’s upcoming fifth season, told SCI FI Wire that the characters will have a new mistrust of each other, as established in last season’s finale. "It’s a different issue, because, first of all, nobody remembers Connor," Whedon said in an interview. "But it’s an issue, because everybody has their own motivation for being at Wolfram & Hart, and nobody trusts anybody else’s. That’s going to continue to be an issue all year."

In the season premiere, Angel (David Boreanaz) is getting used to the perks of running Wolfram & Hart’s Los Angeles branch. "The first thing Angel has to contend with is the fact that he actually has people who are supposed to do his fighting for him," Whedon said. "And that’s not really how he likes to work. But he’s a big corporate head now, so that conflict is in the first episode." Angel returns on Oct. 1 in its regular Wednesday timeslot of 9 p.m. ET/PT.
