Harris is on a stake out with Dietrich so he probably wont he there.
Ah, so this is the special announcement. It’s probably easier to schedule voice recordings than full, on set live action.
I wonder what animation style they’ll use.
They could have filmed it Arrested Development style. “What do you mean, ask Wash? He’s at the other end of our modest ship!”
Different post had an example of the style.
Oh dear. I have some mixed feelings coming up.
“Hello. I’m Wash’s previously unmentioned identical twin brother Dry. I’m glad to be joining the crew. In memory of my brother would you guys mind calling me Wash? Great thanks.”
Zoë: Wash 2, you are twice the man Wash 1 was!
Would this be wash or post-wash?
Please tell me Nathan pushed The Button during the announcement.
People aren’t reading the article apparently based on the questions about Wash.
The animated series would be set between the events of the 2002 series and the 2005 big-screen continuation, Serenity
Is it just me or are voice acting and acting two different skill sets not every actor has? Love to be wrong but I am not sure it will translate well.
Alan Tudyk will just have to stand in for everyone else as well, he already voices every 3rd Disney character.
And I would absolutely watch it.
Many of the original cast are regular voice actors in games and animated series. I have zero worries in that regard. They were an extremely talented crew.
Here I am worried the animation won’t be able to catch some of their facial expressions that really added tremendous depth to the characters.
Oh for sure. Plenty of other things to be worried about beyond mere voices :)
They are different but do feed into each other. When voice acting for a character, actors will be on camera, and they will be acting the part while talking into the mic. Animators will incorporate a lot of the voice actors’ mannerisms, facial expressions, and motions into their final product because it makes the animation much more life-like. Its more than just sitting blankly in front of a mic.
Please don’t screw that up…
They already did 😢
How so?
By making it animated.
And that screws it up how?
At least watch it before passing judgement…
Nah they’re all old and chubby or plastic surgeried up now, it’d be weird to make it live action now
It’s been over 20 years, if they did live action they’d have to probably ruin it by aging up every character 20 years. Also have to tone down action or else have them “mentor” a younger crew, which would probably also ruin it.
Animation could be very good. I don’t get why you’d immediately be dismissive.
As various franchises have played with how to resurrect an “older” franchise, extending the original cast seems to be the winner, but this show wouldn’t survive the age up probably.
Original cast set to return
I’d be ok if there was at least one exclusion there…
You mean you don’t want Shepherd Book to be voiced by a reanimated corpse? 🤔
lol more nostalgia to placate the masses.
It does seem like a strange decision. I was on board with rebooting it 15 years ago but now feels way too late
Every time I see a crew member starring in a new procedural drama, I’m like… but y’all could be doing Firefly… 🥺
The industry figured out people weren’t lying as you had Picard season 3 actually get warmly received after finally leaning into “tng just years later”, and the scrubs continuation, the king of the hill continuation, etc…
Consider me placated.
I am so placated right now.
Giddyup

You can’t take the sky from me!
Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
Disney owns it now, so 50/50 chance palpatine will return.
Somehow…
Maybe they will return Wash
It’s between the series and movie
I’ll take it, but what I really need right now is Nathan Fillion to ditch The Rookie asap and get back into sci-fi.
Maybe he can reprise Captain Hammer and do a song and dance number in the Superhero Retirement Home.
