Firefly only lasted one season, but those 14 episodes were not enough for fans. So ever since it said goodbye in 2002, they have wanted more.
In 2005, they made a one-off movie, Serenity. But it was not enough.
Today, Nathan Fillion, along with his co-stars, Gina Torres (Zoe Washburne), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra), Sean Maher (Simon Tam), Summer Glau (River Tam), Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), and Alan Tudyk (Hoban “Wash” Washburne) announced that they are working on an animated version of the show.
Married couple, Tara Butters and Marc Guggenheim, who met when they worked on the mothership, are the showrunners. A script is ready. ShadowMachine, an animation house, has been hired. So all they need is a home.
And Fillion is meeting with one now. Who is it? He didn’t say. But I think that Hulu would be the best home for it.
However, without Joss Whedon, even though they gave his blessing, I am not sure it will be as good. I find that most reboots, sequels, and revivals don’t work if the original creator is not involved. Am I alone with that feeling?
