Also the concept art looks great! It'll be animated by the studio that did Bojack Horseman (though they're probably more known for their stop-motion animation on Adult Swim like Robot Chicken)

Fuck yes! Excited!

Will full cast? Y'all forget about Ron Glass?

Umm, you know a necromancer?

I’ll be in my bunk

Yes

Well... we're waiting!

Mkay - are we retconning Wash's demise, or will this be set well enough before that? Because I'm not sure I can commit without him.

EDIT: According to Deadline, it's set between the series and the movie in timeline. As I recall, that only gives about six months of in-universe time - I hope they can make the most of it.

Since Joss is said not to be involved, maybe they will retcon it. I kinda hope so - even though the movie was mostly good, I think that was a bad mistake made purely for shock value.

They said they knew one, not that they could get them to do it - let alone afford it. Too bad we couldn't get him to Miracle Max while he was only mostly dead.

Oh good. We'll need one for Wash too.

Arise, cicken

We can just cast his brother, Rinse

Wash will still be there, Alan Tudyk hasn't passed yet. It says the series will take place in the couple year gap between the end of the series and Serenity!

Gotcha, gotcha... do you wanna start the GoFundMe or should I?

nobody ever casts the black sheep of the family, Repeat!

Kaylee?

Edit: And Simon, of course.

Convenient that they're the two not there, doncha think?

Don't you need to have a goal to set first?

That couple years was real time. As I recall (it's admittedly been quite a while), in-universe time between the two was something like 6-9 months.

Please give it to the same studio that did Lower Decks! They nailed the lore and the humor.

Also they'd better get a different actor to voice Jayne

It's looking like it'd be ShadowMachine; they did Robot Chicken, Bojack Horseman, and a bunch of other stuff.

Yea the goal is “help us raise funds to resurrect Shepard Book”.

Don’t forget his other brother dry

Also they'd better get a different actor to voice Jayne

Why, what's wrong with Adam Baldwin? Or did you mean Shepard Book?

If I were in charge I would pretend Wash never dies. Go right past the movie time period and cover Reaver reveal from a different angle. The movie becomes beta canon and everyone winks at each other when they talk about the death of Wash.

Since this universe has no magic of time travel to magic the problem away I think it's best to just wink and nod.

This was a good choice I think, both because the actors are much older and it allows for some more wacky funny visuals.

Maybe they are in their bunk.

Homophobic, transphobic, racist, anti-abortion, all-around asshole human. He used to say wild hateful stuff on Twitter back in the day, I'm fairly certain he got banned for it

He became an alt-right chud.

Please tell me Nathan pushed The Button during the announcement.

Hey, now - "their bunk"?!? Let's not get ahead of where the new show is starting off from, eh?

Ugh! Didn't know. Yeah, that's a move I could get behind in light of that. Unfortunately, according to the Deadline article he's already committed to "lending his voice" even though he wasn't physically there for the announcement.

Maybe we'll get lucky and his fellow cast members will help him get back to reality a bit - especially considering it's slowly becoming harder to be anything but the most diehard of a Trump supporter.

Did not know. Read my reply to someone else who replied basically the same time as you for details on my thoughts.

"That was easy."

Book is dead?? What?

Edit. Holy crap, it's been 10 years, and I just found out. Well..... that sucks.

Sheppard Book lives.
Alan Tudyck's star hasn't dimmed.
Ron Glass is dead.
Hoban Washburne is a leaf on the wind.

Shiny.

I've always thought an animated series would be the perfect way to continue it, amazing to see it finally happening.

yeah, what the CIA said.

Yeah, it's really the only way they could have done it at this point. I'm hoping the creators/writers do it justice; I heard that Joss Whedon won't be involved. Say what you will about the man, but he wrote damn compelling characters.
