It might not have been the greatest mistake in modern television programming, but the size and enthusiasm of the fan base at least says something about how profitable it might be (or not) if it returned on, say, Netflix.
Potential producers might also want to consider factors such as the average age and income of a Firefly fan (since it was aired 13 years ago and remain popular among Silicon Valley geeks) and whether it would be feasible to bring some of the original cast back together and still have an interesting story (Star Wars VII did).
- gravypod 10y agoThis idea almost makes me want to cancel my Netflix subscription and tell them "I won't buy Netflix unless you do this" Then again I already love what Netflix provides.
- fsloth 10y ago" it might be if it returned on, say, Netflix." My Netflix has Firefly. In Finland. Our selection in Netflix in generally very limited, though. Or do you mean Netflix would make new seasons?
- kijin 10y agoNew seasons. Which might or might not be a good idea, depending on some of the factors I mentioned.
- dogma1138 10y agoThey did it with Serenity and it didn't work out that well, barely covered the production budget. Nathan is way too old these days, it would be fun to see but I don't think it could ever live to the expectations of the fan base. This is one of the problems with cult pop culture items, a lot of the following is based on the fact that the fanbase produced just as much content as there was originally if not more, and what the imagine is "perfect" but also very individual and the illusion of perfection would shatter when some one tries to make into something tangible. Firefly is probably the best example of "never meet your heroes", it was an epic show, but part of it's epicness is what we've all imagined it could be if it only had X more episodes or years to go.
