Interestingly, around the same time plans for a Buffy reboot were cancelled, a new Firefly series began to develop. Nathan Fillion hinted at a big announcement, which turned out to be a continuation of Firefly – but as an animated show. As you might expect, fans were thrilled, as they’ve been asking for more of the sci-fi series for 24 years. While Firefly continued through the 2005 film Serenity and comic books, fans have always hoped to see the original cast back on screen. Now, that possibility seems likely, though there’s always a risk it could be cancelled like Buffy. However, Firefly has one key difference – its animated format – which might help it avoid the same fate.
