Firefly reboot incoming?

This Week’s Highly Anticipated Firefly Announcement Finally Got the Update We’ve Been Hoping For
By James Hunt


24 years after Firefly started and quickly ended, Nathan Fillion is getting the crew of the Serenity back together. Over the past couple of weeks, the actor, via the Instagram account of his podcast, Once We Were Spacemen, has been reuniting the main cast of Firefly. The purpose of these has been to tease an announcement that’s coming on Sunday, March 15th, when the actors will be appearing together at AwesomeCon.

Fillion had already visited most of the main cast, going one by one (the videos show him knocking on their door and telling them some variation of “it’s time”). That’s included Gina Torres (Zoë Washburne), Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra), Sean Maher (Simon Tam), Summer Glau (River Tam), Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye), and Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb). The one missing was Alan Tudyk, who played pilot Hoban “Wash” Washburne (the final member of the main cast, Ron Glass, who played Derrial Book, sadly passed away in 2016). In the latest reel on Instagram, Fillion confirms Tudyk’s involvement.

It’s not a surprise to see him back, given how close he and Fillion are – including co-hosting the Once We Were Spacemen podcast. Still, given his character died in the movie Serenity, there had been a question mark over his involvement, particularly if this really is going to be a reboot or revival, so it’s a relief to have the confirmation.

Shiny.

That's because the current crop of mouth-breathing Hollyweird writers can't get past the insurmountable hurdle of J. Michael Straczynski's production standards. They've got no chance of "making [Capt. John Sheridan] a chick and gay" while he's zealously guarding the IP.
