Nathan Fillion Makes Surprise Announcement of New Animated “Firefly” Series in Advanced Development at Awesome Con

March 15, 2026 - Nathan Fillion surprised fans today with the announcement that he and 20th Television Animation are in advanced stages of development on a new animated series based on the beloved cult sci-fi franchise “Firefly.” The reveal came during a panel and live taping of his podcast “Once We Were Spacemen” at Awesome Con in Washington, D.C., where the news was met by a packed, standing-room-only crowd with thunderous applause and enthusiastic cheers.

Fillion made the announcement alongside his former “Firefly” co-star and podcast co-host Alan Tudyk, joined by fellow original cast members Gina Torres, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, and Summer Glau that amplified speculation already building online.

The reveal followed a viral social media campaign featuring a series of cryptic videos starring Fillion and several of his “Firefly” co-stars. In the first clip, Fillion knocks on what appears to be a production trailer door as Torres asks, “Does this mean it’s time?” Fillion responds simply, “It’s time.” Subsequent videos featured Baccarin, Maher, Staite, Glau, Baldwin and Tudyk, which ignited intense fan speculation and generated tens of millions of views across platforms.

Gamers may have recently noticed Playdead’s Inside on sale on Steam for less than a dollar, which might not immediately raise expectations. Some players may also tend to enjoy multiplayer games more than single-player experiences, but that alone is not a reason to overlook this one.

It’s a fairly simple game. Players control a small boy running through dark forests, abandoned farms, and strange facilities while solving puzzles. There’re no dialogue or instructions. The game simply expects players to keep moving and figure things out on their own.

Strangely enough, that is one of the game’s most appealing qualities.

Recently, Outlander began its eighth and final season. Thinking they’ve left the war behind them, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) Fraser return to Fraser’s Ridge to find a settlement that has thrived in the years they’ve been away, operating without their influence. The two discover, however, that leaving the war behind them is harder than they expected, and they soon must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home as well as what they would sacrifice to stay together.

Recently, executive producers Matthew B. Roberts and Maril Davis spoke with SciFi Vision about the impact Frank Randall’s book would have on the characters, difficulties in wrapping up the series, and more.

New episodes premiere each Friday on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

Spoiler Warning: Major spoilers ahead for The Great Flood.

Disaster movies usually follow a familiar formula. Something catastrophic happens, people run for their lives, the protagonist tries to stay alive, they encounter a major problem, and the story builds toward a final moment of survival… or sacrifice. That is how The Great Flood initially appears. The film may initially appear while browsing on a streaming platform, and it may not initially raise many expectations because it follows a familiar premise.

Okay, so at first, The Great Flood seems to follow that exact pattern. This Korean disaster movie, directed by Kim Byung-woo, throws the audience straight into disaster. The waters are rising quickly, the buildings are slowly collapsing, people are in chaos, and the main characters are desperately trying to stay alive.

But then the movie pulls something unexpected in the final stretch. The entire plot turned into something much more complex, and the ending introduces a twist that reframes almost everything that came before it.

That may explain why the ending confused some viewers. However, when viewed more carefully, the movie is actually doing something far more interesting than it first appears.

Post-apocalyptic shows have long fascinated audiences. The 100 stands out within the genre for its survival story, morally gray choices, and the difficult decisions people face when the world falls apart.

The entire series goes beyond survival in the usual sense. It’s not about surviving zombies or radiation. It’s literally about humans, how people act when everything has fallen apart, how far they are willing to go for survival, and how messy morality really is. The series also invites reflection on the modern world.

MGM+’s “FROM” UNVEILS CHILLING SEASON FOUR TRAILER

The Chilling New Season Premieres Sunday, April 19 at 9:00 pm ET/PT on MGM+

“FROM” Is The Most Watched Series in MGM+ History

MGM+’s most viewed series in the history of the premium network is back for a highly anticipated fourth season. “FROM” unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.

In Season Four, the closer the residents of town get to the answers they seek, the more terrifying their search becomes. Who is the Man in Yellow, and what does he want? Will Jade and Tabitha’s revelation be the key to finally going home? How much longer can Boyd hold
the town together, even as his body and mind are falling apart? And what role will the
town’s most recent arrival play in the events to come? Season Four will open doors that
some in town will end up wishing had remained closed.

In the film Protector, Nikki (Milla Jovovich), a decorated former soldier, has tried to leave combat behind and build a quiet life with her teenage daughter Chloe (Isabel Myers), but their fragile peace is fractured when Chloe is abducted by a human trafficking ring. As Nikki follows the limited clues she has into the city’s criminal underworld, she leaves death in her wake. Her ruthless methods and military training bring her into conflict with both the traffickers and law enforcement, drawing the attention of a determined police chief, Captain Miller (D.B. Sweeney), who puts her at the top of his wanted list as she races against time to find her child while avoiding the local police.

Recently, Sweeney spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including how the biggest draw was to work with Matthew Modine again, how he preps for his roles, and more.

DRAGN Trailer

The film DRAGN centers on a group of co-workers on a routine corporate team-building trip which transforms into a nightmare when they unwittingly become the prey of a rogue AI-driven drone. DRAGN delves into the fragility of the human body, the pervasive influence of technology in our lives, and the indomitable spirit required to confront demons in an increasingly digital world.

DRAGN opens in select U.S. theaters starting today and comes to VOD on March 17th.

Today, the final season of Outlander premieres on Starz. As season eight starts, Jamie (Sam Heughan) and Claire (Caitríona Balfe) discover that after leaving the Revolutionary War behind them, things have changed when they return to Fraser’s Ridge. It is now home to new arrivals and has become a thriving settlement since their absence. With all these changes they have to decide what they are willing to give up for the place they call home, even as it changes, and what they will give up to stay together. Also, family secrets are revealed that may break them. When Roger (Richard Rankin) and Brianna (Sophie Skelton) return with information from the future, it could mean death for one of the characters.

Alongside the central couples, the story highlights the next generation as Young Ian (John Bell) and Rachel Murray (Izzy Meikle-Small) begin building a life together at Fraser’s Ridge, welcoming the next generation of the Murray family, a sign of hope for the future even as the world around them becomes increasingly unstable.

Recently, Bell and Meikle-Small spoke with SciFi Vision about how becoming parents changes their characters, whether they were given or took anything from the set to remember their time on the series by, and how their lives have changed since starting work on the series.
