    Firefly?

    I guess it's a new Firefly animated series, with all the living cast members back (So, yes, even Alan Tudyk, but no Ron Glass).

    And they've shared some art, but don't yet have a broadcaster / streamer.

    And Whedon is not involved, though Nathan Fillion says it has his blessing.

    As for what I think about it... Well, I've liked space westerns enough that I've been watching Brisco County Jr., so I'll take a wild guess that I'll find it pleasant to watch.

    I imagine it won't _quite_ capture the magic of the original series, and I have no idea what they're planning for where things would fit in, plot-wise (or if it's a full reboot).

    Still, I expect it'll be fun enough that I'll watch it, and even if it's not great, that won't really change how good the original was.

    From what I've seen, it's going to fill the time gap between the end of the series and Sarenity.

    That... would make sense.

    Though I wonder how much different Serenity would have been, had it not been, "...and now we have to finish off all the stories we had planned to slowly work toward over many seasons", and instead been, "we've had a good multi-season run, and now it's time to finish things off".

    Regardless, they have the right actors for the job, and there's not _that_ much canon they have to worry about. So, as long as the writers are up to the job, I have high hopes.

    Given his other commitments (unless they cancel the Rookie), I would take a wild guess that he probably doesn't have enough time for it, anyway.

    Also, given that it's been off the air for nearly a quarter century, it's probably easier for them to voice their age 20-30s selves rather than have to deal with the fact the surviving actors are 43-56, now.

    Still, given how many action heroes are in their 70s (as ridiculous as that often is), it's probably not out of the question.
