Well, I was right.

It was never going to be a live-action reboot, but something that makes way more sense: animated Firefly.

Firefly fans are in for a treat.

Nathan Fillion has just revealed at Awesome Con that an animated Firefly series is in advanced development based on the beloved cult sci-fi franchise—and Deadline has the details.

Fillion spoke on a panel at the Washington, D.C. event and live taping of his “Once We Were Spacemen” podcast alongside co-stars Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau, all of whom are expected to reprise their roles. Adam Baldwin, who played Jayne Cobb, will also lend his voice to the project.

Everybody’s back, except, you know, Joss Whedon, for obvious and unfortunate reasons.
