Ok ... At the beset of some private emails, i was asked to share what i know about Buffy this season. These may be true or false. I will list what i know followed by what source.
Last season was about getting everyone so depressed they wanted to kill themselves, and next season's about bringing [the show] back to life,” Whedon said. “I want to get back to where we started and to the theme, which is girl power.”
He’s also promising a new bad guy which will be “'everybody's worst nightmare” - Joss Whedon himself
----
Whedon did tell SCI FI Wire that Willow's addiction to magic and Spike's (James Marsters) attempted rape would figure in the new season, despite an intention to lighten the tone from this year's dark themes. "We'll deal with issues, but we won't be hitting the incredibly depressing reality of being grown up quite so hard," he said. "Those things will still be issues, because Spike is still in the mix, and he did try to rape Buffy. Willow has been addicted, and both of those people have to be in the mix, so we'll deal with the things, and things are still going to be scary, depressing and confusing for our characters. It's going to be tough for them, but at the same time, they're going to reclaim that essential notion of the beauty of power and of their mission and not get so caught up in the questions."
Whedon added that he wants Anthony Stewart Head to appear as Giles in more episodes this season than last, and that he hopes to bring back Jonathan (Danny Strong) and Andrew (Thomas Lenk), the remaining duo of villains from this season. "We're looking for them to [return], because they make us laugh," he said. - Joss Whedon/SCI FI Wire

One thing that won't be back is Buffy's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) job at the Doublemeat Palace. "Doublemeat Palace was the only thing we ever did to make advertisers pull out," Whedon said. "They did not like us making fun of fast food. Sarah's very upset about not getting to wear the hat anymore." - Joss Whedon

Little is known about how, exactly, Faith will affect the storylines of each show. Dushku is scheduled to appear on the final five episodes of "Buffy's" season and three episodes of "Angel."
When we last saw Faith, she suffered a breakdown while fighting Angel (David Boreanaz) and agreed to turn herself in to authorities for several crimes, including killing a human. Angel visited her in prison in that show's second-season premiere, and she's presumably been there ever since.
The characters on both shows will have some big changes to deal with this season. IMDB.com
