t. This looks hopeful though with Nathan knocking on doors. Two good characters missing though.
Three good characters and two good people missing. t. This looks hopeful though with Nathan knocking on doors. Two good characters missing though.Alan Tudyk could be brought back easily enough as a clone/droid/something else.
Hell, just have Harry Vanderspeigel appear.
Seems they've said it's not just a podcast, or reunion show - so really hopeful.
Can't bring Wash back unfortunately, they're not the sort of crew to be able, or want, to go for a clone or android. (eta - I could see them bringing in Wash and Zoe's kid, after all we know Zoe really wanted one)
I'm guessing a limited series, and tbh whatever it is I'm absolutely down for it.
Such an amazing series, the intra-cast charisma, world building and everything is just superb - including the rather campy shoot outs!

Hooefully Nathan isn't gas lighting us with this and it turns out to be some convention appearance or radio show reboot. I don't think it will be, he's putting it out there large. t. This looks hopeful though with Nathan knocking on doors. Two good characters missing though.The film was a great ending to the short lived series so if it is too be another series I'll be intrigued to see how they pick it back up.
The critical thing is going to be the scriipt/story lines (obviously) and that's where I'm a little apprehensive.
Joss Whedon is persona non grata in Hollywood following many allegations against him and as show runner for the original series I'm concerned the new show might have the characters but not the heart of that series.
He may have been a s
t in his dealings with fellow cast and crew but he knew how to make a compelling TV series (Buffy etc). Funnily enough I don't recall any bad things being said about him by the Firefly mob. I stand to be corrected on that point though. Wash can't come back
Ron Glass can't either (RIP)
Joss Whedon can't
Adam Baldwin is full MAGA/Anti-Vax (he's the gamergate guy!) so he's a difficult choice too (I'll be *really* interested to see if we see him in one of these little social media stories) and you could argue he's pretty critical to the show.
I don't think a live action show is possible. Too much time has passed, and ret-conning Wash would be cheesy. Some people have said Wash could have a twin brother, or he could just play the part of Jayne and have some occasional meta jokes about how he's changed....but that's a bit "urgh"
Lots of agreement online that an animated show is probably where this is going - I think Fillion even referenced this a while back. It works, animated shows are huge at the moment, and gives you scope to have this *before* Serenity, so Wash is in it.

Animated shows are for children. That includes adults who haven’t grown up. They are not for actual adults, so no, animating Firefly would suck donkey dick.
I actually wonder what the contractual situation is between Disney owning it and Joss creating it etc. I’ve no idea on such creative IP issues btw, just idly wondering.
The trouble is, around what storyline would it revolve? Of the original storylines…they used the film to plot the River story. The other main storyline they always hinted at was Shepherd’s back story. That can’t really be explored now.
Inara & Mal have had 20yrs, so they must have resolved their will they/wont they thing…you can’t really pretend that’s been left unresolved 20yrs on. And the film basically just made Mal the most infamous smuggler/transport Captain in the system. Oh and River “no power in the Verse can stop me” out there as the ultimate warrior and weapon.
You could use the end of the film as a jumping off point for a new civil war with the Alliance?
And then there is the Disney aspect. Firefly/Serenity worked because Joss was in his creative genius phase. He was a singular fulcrum of talent for the writing, direction and production of show. It worked because of his mind. Not because of Fillion, or Tudyk, or Glau, or Morena, or Baldwin or Torres. Disney won’t be Joss. It was incredibly diverse and equal before DEI was even a thing and because it reflected a mirror onto the natural diversity of humanity as it was and what it could do to itself. Woking it to produce diverse equality would strip the show of itself.

The sad thing is, any time I hear of either a remake/ reboot. sequel of an older favourite or some intellectual property being brought to the cinema or TV screen for the first time, I get that sinking feeling that they are going to 'make it for the modern audience' and we end up with a load of woke, social-messaging, cobblers. ESPECIALLY if it's being done by Netflix or Prime.
Still, they might get it right I suppose.

For it's time, it was massively 'woke'.Still, they might get it right I suppose.
Hugely diverse crew, including a rare example of a well written and delivered 'black warrior woman'. Lesbian kiss. Even some light touching on mental health challenges.

It’s a view but a myopic one. Invincible is one of the best super hero adaptations ever made. Entirely because it’s so well written. It is animated and isn’t less watchable as result. Many agree. Try it on Amazon. I actually wonder what the contractual situation is between Disney owning it and Joss creating it etc. I ve no idea on such creative IP issues btw, just idly wondering.
