Hello everyone! I'm new here, so please don't get mad at me if this question has been asked a million times already. But I just can't help but asking...
Does anyone know what the current status of Firefly/Serenity is? I mean, is it going to be a mini-series,t.v series, or another movie? I've heard some rumors, but I'm not sure how true they are. If anyone could help clear me up, that would be great!

Right now, as it stands. There isn't going to be any more Firefly. There hasn't been any moves made by a studio to bring it back.
It's dead, Jim.

aww,that sucks. Thanks replying, though.
What of these rumors of the firefly season 2(if/when it's made) going straight to dvd floating around? Or have they just been thrown out the window?

Officially, it's in limbo. No word yet on anyone picking up a new series, mini-series, made-for-TV movie, DVD-Direct movie, sequel, or anything else except that Joss is going to be writing some comix for it.
But that's just the latest. Tomorrow could change all that. I won't say it's dead. I prefer to think of it as just sleeping. Soon, Firefly will awaken, and it will have a mighty roar! (But that doesn't mean it's a lion. Serenity doesn't think of itself as a lion...)

Welcome IcanKillYouWithMyBrain,
First of all, let me tell you we are glad you are here. I am kinda the hander out of the browncoats so....
*hands IcanKillYouWithMyBrain a shiny new browncoat*
There have been rumors lately of a return to tv maybe on the coming CW network, but Joss posted on Whedonesque and said that wasn't true.
Second of all, we don't know what will come next in the line of a sequel or a tv show, we are waiting to find out. There will be more comics soon and some books comin' up too. After that, we shall see. I personally don't believe that the 'verse is over... I think we are holdin' til the Captain gets back.
It kinda depends on how many DVD's of Serenity sell and even how well the Firefly DVD's continue to do. But it is a good sign that there are more Browncoats signing on here... like you.. and maybe if we all buy lots of products and we clamor for more, the folks that CAN do something about a return WILL do something about a return.

How unfortunate, Ican, that your question was first answered by one of the most pessimistic posters I've seen on this board.
As for me, I'm confident that Firefly will be back in some form or other. Why?
1. We are just too pretty to die.
2. We have (already) done the impossible, and that makes us mighty.
3. Every single day, our ranks grow. More Browncoats means more dollars to whoever has the sense to bring this franchise back. And that's what ultimately matters to the purple bellies.
So don't let the Puddleglums of this 'verse get you down. Just hold, and it will be back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't disagree on any particular point.

Thanks FollowMal! I'm honoured to be apart of this website and to wear the coat. Comic books, you say? That sounds cool! I have only heard a little bit about them. Are they out to buy in the stores, or are they in the process of being published? If so where can one get them from??
I see, Doncoat. Thanks for the reassurance. Yes, after that first reply I was a little down.

The first series of comic books is a three part afair that bridges the gap between the series and the movie. It has recently been compiled and released as Serenity: Those Left Behind (variously known as Sernety: TPB) you should be able to find this at a reasonably well stocked bookstore or comic store. Alternately of course there is always Amazon and it's competitors.
There are more comics being planed for release but I don't think dates have been set. You should be able to find these at comic book stores when they are available.

The Serenity comic books are out in TPB form and you can order them from Amazon or buy them from your local bookstore. They cover the time between the show and the movie. Then they have just announced that there will be more coming out... I think this summer, but don't quote me on that. There will be a 'coat come along soon and post all kinds of info for you. Have you read "Finding Serenity", and "Serenity: The Visual Companion" and the novelization of the movie. They are excellent and some folks have said on here that the RPG book is awesome. I'm gonna order it, when I've sent my latest gifts of the movie and caught up my bill.
I'm so glad DonCoat reassured you. There isn't any reason for pessimism. We will have more of the 'verse!
