The animated reboot is being developed through Fillion’s production banner Collision33 in partnership with 20th Television Animation, which controls the underlying rights to the franchise. Married writing-producing team Marc Guggenheim (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow) and Tara Butters (Agent Carter, Reaper) are attached to serve as showrunners, and a script has been completed. Original series creator Joss Whedon is not involved in the new project but has given his blessing.
Sigh. I know there was no chance of Whedon being asked for this, but… if he had been, that’d piked my interest. Guggenheim, well, he’s okay. It won’t be Firefly, I’m afraid. Not really all that interested, without Whedon.
