"Nathan Fillion announced that an animated series is being developed. Plus, the original cast is set to reprise their roles. Double plus, Joss Whedon is not involved. The series could not be more timely, what with the giant corporations controlling everything and people adopting Chinese customs on social media."
"The announcement took place at a live taping of Fillion's rewatch podcast Once We Were Spacemen, with Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau all guesting and expected to join the voice cast. According to Deadline, Adam Baldwin was not in attendance, but is slated to play Jayne again."
"Fillion's production company is developing the project with 20th Television Animated. The Arrow-verse's Marc Guggenheim and Agent Carter and Dollhouse's Tara Butters are set to co-showrun. Fillion has been teasing the news for weeks now on social media, filming 'getting the band back together' content with everyone who's in on the bit."
