There will be a horde of geeks that would love this news, myself included. But I'd be skeptical, since the original series, even though it was only 13 episodes, was something special.

For this to be even a slight success they need to get actual fans of the originals to be involved in its production.

Disney will wreck it tbh.
I would love to see a sequel true to the original but I doubt this will happen.
I just bought the Series on blueray the other day so I could watch it again and I have serenity on Microsoft store.

The film worked well. It was quite a departure from the series, but it still worked. I can see a restarting of the series as a good move by Disney.

It has a built-in fanbase, so it is a clever move. The fear is that it will be changed too much when it is rebooted.

I love firefly.

Even the intro theme tune makes me drift away from reality

And Disney really want content for Disney+. They recently announced a huge slew of Star Wars and Marvel future original content. The Mandalorian is a crackin' show with a lot of potential. People seem to think it's going to retcon some of the recent Star Wars films. Even if it doesn't, it's definitely paving a better future for Star Wars than what the recent films have done. Shows like WandaVision and Firefly are going to get a ton of Disney+ subscribers.
