ComingSoon.net's news article says the series is in "advanced
development". Apparently Nathan Fillion's own production company is
already making it in conjunction with the franchise's rights holders,
and they are looking for a network to broadcast / stream it (which is a
bit peculiar since Disney are the ultimate right's holders!) ... but it doesn't seem to have any connection with the original show's creator
Joss Whedon, although they apparently "have his blessing".

The word is out. To keep Firefly flying, we need a home.

And for that, we need you. Like this post, comment on
this post, repost this post. Tag a friend, tag an enemy,
even tag a Reaver.

Give us some "quantifiable analytics" that we can use to
convince folks that this is something people want.

A viral campaign preceded the reveal through cryptic social media
videos featuring Fillion and his co stars. In one clip Torres asks
"Does this mean it's time?" and Fillion replies "It's time." The
videos featuring Baccarin Maher Staite Glau Baldwin and Tudyk
generated more than 28 million views online across platforms as
speculation grew among fans before.

Fillion is developing the animated reboot through his production
company Collision33 with 20th Television Animation, which controls
the franchise rights. The series takes place between the 2002
television run and the 2005 film Serenity. The team has completed a
script and produced early concept art with the Oscar and Emmy
award-winning animation studio ShadowMachine.

Marc Guggenheim and Tara Butters will serve as showrunners, marking
their first formal collaboration. Guggenheim previously worked on
DC's Legends of Tomorrow and Arrow. Butters worked on Agent Carter,
Reaper, and Law and Order SVU. The production team plans to present
the completed project package to potential buyers soon.

Joss Whedon created Firefly, and 20th Century Fox Television
originally produced the series. The show aired for one season in 2002
before continuing with the 2005 film Serenity. Nathan Fillion and Alan
Tudyk launched the Once We Were Spacemen podcast in November 2025.

The podcast features interviews with former cast members and other
creatives discussing the series and its legacy.
