There’s perhaps no better symbol of 2000s fandom than Firefly. Joss Whedon’s sci-fi series followed Captain Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and the crew of the spaceship Serenity as they roamed the galaxy and had Western-inspired adventures. Its all-star cast included Morena Baccarin, Alan Tudyk, and Gina Torres, but the series was canceled after only one season. Its small fandom, however, remained passionate. Very, very passionate.
Despite that passion, hopes for a reboot long felt futile — it’s been more than 20 years since the series aired, and the 2005 follow-up film, Serenity, seemed to end the story. But a recent announcement has changed things.
