Nathan Fillion Confirms the Official ‘Firefly’ Revival Has Been in the Works for Years [Exclusive]

Of all the shows that have been famously cancelled before their time, none consistently top the list quite like Fox's sci-fi series Firefly. The Emmy-winning, spacefaring adventure epic from Joss Whedon only lasted for a single season in 2002 before the Serenity was decommissioned, but the spark it ignited has yet to fade nearly 25 years later. Fan support has kept the Nathan Fillion-led show alive, both officially through the 2005 movie continuation Serenity and unofficially through their own stories and a continued dedication to what could've been. At long last, though, their patience was rewarded this weekend when Fillion, Alan Tudyk, GinaTorres, JewelStaite, MorenaBaccarin, SeanMaher, and SummerGlau announced during a reunion panel at Awesome Con moderated by Collider's Maggie Lovitt that the adventure may finally continue with a new animated series.
