We may never see Firefly live and breathe again (unless someone finally wakes up and finds a way to makes it happen for us), but while die hard fans of the series continue to hopelessly wait for that day to arrive something else inspired by Joss Whedon‘s show has been born.

Back in March we found out about Con Man, a web series from Firefly co-stars Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion. Mirroring their previous gig working together, the web series follows actors from a canceled (far too soon) science fiction TV show. The actor who playued the captain on the show (Fillion) goes on to become a big movie star, while the actor who played the pilot (Tudyk) finds himself traveling around making appearances and sci-fi conventions.

A trailer for Con Man was shared during their panel at San Diego Comic-Con—the first web series to have a Hall H panel—and now the trailer is available to enjoy online. You can see it below along with a poster and full synopsis that includes the cast of very familiar names you’ll see in the series.

If you’re a fan of Joss Whedon‘s television series Firefly, I think it’s safe to say that you’d agree that the show was canceled too soon. Do you know who else believes this to be the case? Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion, two of the stars of the very series that was canceled too soon.

There’s a reason why I keep stating the phrase “too soon.” You see, Tudyk and Fillion have begun an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a new comedy series (which will air on Vimeo) called Con Man. Con Man is the story of an actor who had been on a science fiction television series, in which his character flew the spaceship. Unfortunately, the show was canceled too soon, and now he attends sci-fi conventions. Sound familiar?

As it turns out, Captain Kirk is a Browncoat just like the rest of us.

Star Trek legend William Shatner has called out Fox, asking them to give us back (or at least sell it to someone!) Joss Whedon‘s prematurely canceled sci-fi western Firefly if they’re not going to use the property.

Shatner took to the Twitter recently to make the plea, which you can read below.

One of the more exciting announcements to come out of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con is that the entire cast of the prematurely cancelled, still dead with no savior in sight cult classic TV series Firefly will be re-uniting for Firefly Online, an upcoming video game based on Joss Whedon‘s wonderful, wonderful world.

In addition to the news that the cast will be voicing their characters in the game, the first gameplay trailer for Firefly Online was also released into the wild. The trailer shows a mix of gameplay footage, people talking about the game, and, if you’re good, perhaps a surprise you can’t help but smile at toward the end.
