Mutant Enemy Productions is the production company created in 1996 by Joss Whedon to produce the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, producing as well the spin-off Angel and the adaptation Season Eight Motion Comic.
In addition to its debut with Buffy the Vampire and Angel, the company also produced Firefly, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, The Cabin in the Woods, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and The Nevers.
Its offices (made out of glass bricks) were on the lot of 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles, previously the home of Chris Carter's Ten Thirteen Productions. According to the March 2006's issue of UK magazine The Word, the offices were closed not long after Angel was canceled in 2005.
