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.

I’ll miss the show but it’s had a good run and it’s getting a bit ridiculous keeping Joel Kinneman’s character alive.

Oh, so For All Mankind is good, yeah?

I’ve currently got Apple TV because we’re watching Shrinking, but I’ve already finished Severance and The Silo is kinda meh (still watching it currently, though) and Foundation looks a bit shit, so I might start on For All Mankind.

The first couple of series are excellent, it drops off a bit after that but it’s still really good

Both are very good for the first two seasons and then fall off a bit.

Well, maybe I’ll look into Foundation at some point, too. I do love Jared Harris.
That one’s a bit tough because I was a huge fan of the books when I was like sixteen.

You need to put the books waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind you if you’re going to watch Foundation. They’re almost completely different. Which was a problem in season three, where they mess up the Mule.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. It’ll probably help that I haven’t re-read them in over thirty years though.

Hey, is Daneel in this? It blew my mind back then when The Caves of Steel and Foundation suddenly (and probably retroactively, it has to be said) turned out to be connected in that way.

Not that I can remember. Hari is an ongoing main character and it has time jumps. It’s very different.
