The Untold Truth Of Firefly

At the height of Joss Whedon’s television success in 2002 — the “Buffyverse” had ruled over teen TV for a few years already — Fox struck a deal with the creator for a series unlike anything he’d done before. “Firefly,” a space Western centered on a group of people existing on the fringes of deep space pioneer society, ran for a single season in 2002 before it was dropped by the network.
Although Fox couldn’t see “Firefly’s” value, its fans certainly have. The short-lived series is a classic in its own right, and rumors continue to swirl regarding a well-deserved reboot. So what’s the story behind this beloved show? This is the untold truth of “Firefly.”
