Fox Interested in Bringing Back 'Firefly,' But With One Condition

As reported at a panel last month at the Television Critics Association, FOX President of Entertainment David Madden suggested he’d be open to bringing the series 'Firefly' back on the condition that Joss Whedon himself was on board. That may sound like a sure thing to the ears of some fans, but Madden also noted that Whedon’s been busy with a film career in recent years, and Fillion threw water on the idea as recently as last year, saying that one season was “enough.”
Still, it's nice to know that Fox sees potential profit from bringing back the much-beloved Space Western. If Fox DOES bring back Firefly, perhaps it could be as a reboot, with a new crew and ship. Fans have made Indy films in this genre over the years, with mixed results, but it would be great to see the Firefly/Serenity universe on the screen again. In the meantime, Dark Horse is doing a pretty decent job with their Firefly comic series, and the 'Can't Stop the Serenity' fundraising campaign for Women's Rights continues.

His additional TV credits include guest roles in a number of ’70s and ’80s favorites, including “CHiPs,” “Fantasy Island,” “Dynasty,” “Murder She Wrote,” “The Love Boat,” “T.J. Hooker,” “Baywatch,” and “MacGyver.” He also wrote five original “Battlestar” novels and became a popular fixture at Comic Book and sci-fi events for fans.
