Nathan Fillion spent the last few days posting cryptic videos on his social media accounts, ...

Fillion announced that an animated series reboot of Firefly is in the works, with many of the original cast reprising their roles.

We already have a surprising amount of information about what to expect. Fans were able to see concept art, and Fillion revealed that the series will take place between Firefly Season 1 and Serenity, essentially telling the story that future seasons would have told. Fillion even revealed that he received original creator Joss Whedon’s blessing for the project.

1. My wife just about flipped out when we heard

She and a friend already are making a watch party plan and they live 3 hours from us.
Is Jayne back in?

2. Finally, some blessed relief!

Won't be the same without Shepherd Book, but I'll tune in.

6. Shepherd Book is the best

But the show is going to be animated, so maybe he'll show up.

Best regards,

11. In my excitement I missed the animated part.

Not a fan, but I'll see what the reviews are.

3. I'm not a big fan of animated series,

but i'll at least give this a look-see. My complaint about them is that they're often cheaply made, with crappy dialogue and worse animation.

4. I generally agree but enjoyed animated Star Trek.

10. Serenity put a bow on it for me

Actors have passed on, characters died on screen, viewer sensibilities change, Joss is a dirtbag...

Maybe it could be a prequel or side adventure. I've heard some spoilers over the years about what season 2 was supposed to have had in it, so maybe some of that?

Be interesting to see if it has the same feel and ages well. I could get into animation as long as it isn't too campy, and as long as it isn't that weird CGI-video game looking stuff like some of the animated Star Wars series.

I'll definitely give it a 2 episode shot to see how it goes.
