Hang on. What happened to Fox having the rights for it as a TV show? I can see Universal fudging it by releasing it at a few cinemas (to the delight of those Browncoats who can get it) but I think that they'll only be able to repeat that particular trick once and then... we're back in Fox's clutches.

All depends on the agreement between FOX and Sci-Fi.
Plenty of shows have jumped from one network to another before.
The scary part is wether they can get Joss and the cast back into the show and away from whatever contracts/projects they are now involved it as well if they do get the rights to bring it back.
Select to view spoiler:
A bit easier now that there's 2 less cast members to bring back, but still...

Fox had the rights to Buffy the Vampire Slayer for seven seasons. It never aired on Fox.

Quote:Well, what I have heard (admittedly through second-hand sources) is that the "10 year contract with Fox" was just a rumor started by Nathan for reasons that remain unclear (or I can't recall). Memory is a bit hazy, but I think either Uni or Joss himself now has the TV rights.

And while we’re on the subject of sequel rumors, let’s not forget this juicy one that was posted here a little while ago and may have gotten buried in the shuffle: http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=15035. This rumor has the benefit of not just being a nebulous “source,” but an unnamed Uni producer (scroll down the thread for a link to the podcast and a description of what was said).

I think I'm gonna hold onto the champagne until I hear a confirmation from an actual named person. Until then, I see no problem with doing a celebratory happy dance or three.

looks like its time to bust out either the party hat or the pitch fork.

This news makes me want to dance in the streets, out on a banana costume and start singing:
"It's peanut-butter jelly time!
peanut-butter jelly!
it's peanut-butter jelly time!
peanut-butter jelly!
where you at?
where you at?
where you at?
there you go!
there you go!
there you go!
it's peanut-butter jelly time!
peanut-butter jelly!
peanut-butter jelly and a baseball bat!
peanut-butter jelly and a baseball bat!"

Yes, but, 20th Century Fox (the parent company of FOX television) held a distribution credit for the series while it was in broadcast, and still holds the rights to the DVD releases.
Putting a Firefly movie (or, with any luck, a second series) on the Sci-Fi channel really makes sense. I mean, they were promoting the hell out of it before Serenity came out in theaters, and they're still airing the series now. It's almost like they're leading up to something; which could be the DVD release of Serenity in a couple weeks, but I'd like to think it's something more than that.
