Fans of the cult series Firefly can rejoice, as the story will return to the screen in animated format under the title Firefly: Still Flyin.

The announcement was made by Nathan Fillion, who played Captain Malcolm Reynolds, during a live recording of the podcast he shares with his co-star Alan Tudyk, Once We Were Spacemen, at the Awesome Con event.

Firefly flies again

The new project will bring together almost the entire original cast that is still alive, including Fillion, Tudyk, Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, Adam Baldwin, and Summer Glau.

Unfortunately, Ron Glass, who played Shepherd Book, passed away in 2016. Firefly is set in a universe where a group of outlaws navigates a transport ship called Serenity, and despite its short first season in 2002, it managed to build a very loyal fan base.

The animated series is being produced by Fillion’s company, Collision33, in collaboration with 20th Television Animation and Disney. The production will feature writing from the team of Marc Guggenheim and Tara Butters, who have also developed the pilot script. Additionally, the Oscar-winning animation studio ShadowMachine is working on the conceptual art for the show.

The creator of Firefly, Joss Whedon, has given his approval to the project, although he will not participate in it. The news of Firefly: Still Flyin came just after it was confirmed that another series based on Whedon’s work, a new installment of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was not picked up by Hulu, which has generated even more interest in the new effort to revive Firefly. Fillion has encouraged fans to share the news on social media, suggesting that there is quite a bit of anticipation surrounding this return.
