24 Years After Cancellation, Nathan Fillion & OG Firefly Cast Spark Long-Awaited Reboot Speculation Ahead Of Big "Announcement"

Nearly two and a half decades after Firefly was canceled, Nathan Fillion and several original cast members have fans buzzing with fresh speculation about a reboot ahead of a mysterious big "announcement."

The space Western premiered on Fox in 2002 and was infamously canceled after only 11 of its 14 episodes had aired. Despite its short run, the series sold well when it was released on DVD and developed a strong cult following that, over the years, has always held out hope for a Firefly revival.

Now, something unusual has been unfolding on Nathan Fillion's Instagram, as he has been sharing videos of himself visiting the homes of his former Firefly co-stars – including Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau – and telling them that "it's time." Check out the posts below:

Firefly is one of my favorite series. It and Star Cops stand out as a couple of the greatest truncated sci-fi series.

…seeing as they killed off two of the best characters in Serenity. Not to mention everything about the show’s creator, Joss Wheedon.
