Since its cancellation in 2003, science fiction television series Firefly has achieved a powerful cult status. Interest from the show's loyal fanbase has helped launch a feature film and comic books as means of continuing the series. Fans express continued interest in a series revival, although 13 years out that looks increasingly unlikely.

Animator Stephen Byrne offers a glimpse of what could be: a short teaser trailer for an animated Firefly . There's no dialogue, but all the characters are there doing many of the things you would expect and hope for. Could this lead to an animated Firefly revival? Or is it too late?

Personally, I'd be more likely to shell out for yet another exclusive streaming service for this than for the new Star Trek series...

    Unfortunately it sounds like even Joss Whedon isn't a Browncoat per se. He's pretty liberal and said that Firefly was a divergence for him.

    Cf. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I tried watching the first episode but apart from one of the characters having that one incredibly annoying British accent I can't stand, just don't think I'd be able to stomach that much "ra-ra gubmint good guys" feels.
