Cherub is a Buffyverse fan-made production, an internet series. It is produced by Caution Zero Network. The story parodies the fictional Buffyverse established by TV series, Buffy and Angel. Wired said that "it's easy to believe that one day soon, the format [Cherub's] cast and crew are pioneering will challenge network TV the way blogs have challenged publishing.".[1]
