Firefly Please tell me Nathan pushed The Button during the announcement.
Mkay - are we retconning Wash's demise, or will this be set well enough before that? Because I'm not sure I can commit without him.
EDIT: According to Deadline, it's set between the series and the movie in timeline. As I recall, that only gives about six months of in-universe time - I hope they can make the most of it.
Since Joss is said not to be involved, maybe they will retcon it. I kinda hope so - even though the movie was mostly good, I think that was a bad mistake made purely for shock value.
If I were in charge I would pretend Wash never dies. Go right past the movie time period and cover Reaver reveal from a different angle. The movie becomes beta canon and everyone winks at each other when they talk about the death of Wash.
Since this universe has no magic of time travel to magic the problem away I think it's best to just wink and nod.
I’ll be in my bunk
This was a good choice I think, both because the actors are much older and it allows for some more wacky funny visuals.
Please give it to the same studio that did Lower Decks! They nailed the lore and the humor.
Also they'd better get a different actor to voice Jayne

Why, what's wrong with Adam Baldwin? Or did you mean Shepard Book?
Homophobic, transphobic, racist, anti-abortion, all-around asshole human. He used to say wild hateful stuff on Twitter back in the day, I'm fairly certain he got banned for it
Ugh! Didn't know. Yeah, that's a move I could get behind in light of that. Unfortunately, according to the Deadline article he's already committed to "lending his voice" even though he wasn't physically there for the announcement.
Maybe we'll get lucky and his fellow cast members will help him get back to reality a bit - especially considering it's slowly becoming harder to be anything but the most diehard of a Trump supporter.
He became an alt-right chud.
Did not know. Read my reply to someone else who replied basically the same time as you for details on my thoughts.
It's looking like it'd be ShadowMachine; they did Robot Chicken, Bojack Horseman, and a bunch of other stuff.
Will full cast? Y'all forget about Ron Glass?
Book is dead?? What?
Edit. Holy crap, it's been 10 years, and I just found out. Well..... that sucks.
Umm, you know a necromancer?
Yes
Well... we're waiting!
They said they knew one, not that they could get them to do it - let alone afford it. Too bad we couldn't get him to Miracle Max while he was only mostly dead.
Gotcha, gotcha... do you wanna start the GoFundMe or should I?
Don't you need to have a goal to set first?
Yea the goal is “help us raise funds to resurrect Shepard Book”.
Arise, cicken
Oh good. We'll need one for Wash too.
We can just cast his brother, Rinse
Don’t forget his other brother dry
nobody ever casts the black sheep of the family, Repeat!
Wash will still be there, Alan Tudyk hasn't passed yet. It says the series will take place in the couple year gap between the end of the series and Serenity!
That couple years was real time. As I recall (it's admittedly been quite a while), in-universe time between the two was something like 6-9 months.
Also the concept art looks great! It'll be animated by the studio that did Bojack Horseman (though they're probably more known for their stop-motion animation on Adult Swim like Robot Chicken)
Kaylee?
Edit: And Simon, of course.
Convenient that they're the two not there, doncha think?
Maybe they are in their bunk.
Hey, now - "their bunk"?!? Let's not get ahead of where the new show is starting off from, eh?
Fuck yes! Excited!
