The Firefly Season 2 Project:

Captain Mal and the crew of Serenity need your help to stay flying.

We are looking to push the envelope of episodic television by offering Season Two of Firefly in a groundbreaking new format. Each episode (or the entire season) would be made available for purchase in Standard or Hi-Definition.

It's possible that subscribers may choose one of three playback options; monthly DVD deliveries, TV On-Demand using your cable or satellite provider, or computer viewing via Streaming Download.

It's also possible that a box set of DVD's would be available at the end of the season.

In order for our plan to be successful, we need to take stock of the browncoat recruits that support our cause. It will only take a minute, is strictly confidential, and each profile will take us one step closer to victory!

Question: Is there any chance whatsoever that Firefly could be picked up and brought back to life?

Ausiello: An independent production company is apparently trying to obtain rights from Fox to continue the series either on another network or on an in-demand basis, so I guess the answer is yes.

Gossi isn't on board on this one as far as I am aware. And this guy hasn't got the approval of Joss Whedon so why is he still going ahead? And I doubt the Firefly rights would be given to a man whose main claim is running a Costa Rican dating agency. Any if it was so easy, why didn't the people who ran Firefly try and do it?

This is giving false hope to a lot of fans and so many people are going to be crushed when it doesn't happen. Personally, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Stay well away from this project. It'll end in tears.

Realistically, though, I don't think the information they collect will be useful in helping them obtain the rights. Both FOX and Universal already have statistics about the Firefly/Serenity fanbase from data they've collected through television ratings, DVD sales, and box office receipts. Additionally, the major studios also have data from their other productions to draw from. It's safe to say that in terms of statistics, there's not much the independent production company can tell the studios that they don't already know.

But it seems rumors relating to this second season project are flying rampant on the net because I've been receiving more and more inquiries about it. There's even a reference to the second season project over at TV Guide.

I think a bit of clarification is in order before things get out of hand. Based on what I know right now, there isn't going to be another season of Firefly in it's current form. And while the above answer seems to make the whole task of bringing back the Firefly we all know and love quite trivial, it is definately not.

All this independent (and apparently nameless)production company is attempting to do at the moment is to purchase the rights to produce another season of Firefly. Having the rights to produce does not guarantee they'll be producing the same product with the same actors, writers, or even production quality.

There are LOTS of financial, legal, and logistical reasons why an independent production company will have a difficult time at bringing back the "original" Firefly.

IMHO, I think it's great someone is attempting to do this, but I do think that getting the newly formed CW network to pickup Firefly is a better way to go.

Also, we still haven't heard from Universal yet. There's still a great chance that we might get a sequel if sales of the DVD keeps up.

Hi, Gossi here.

I do *NOT* back this project. I’m not going into the reasons why in a public forum, and I wish the guy all the luck in the world, but I’d like to stress neither me, Universal, the FF producers or cast have anything to do with this project.
