As far as I’m concerned right now this is just another BS rumor.
There were rumors before the pandemic started that they were looking to do it. I'm of a mind this is fairly reliable. They need content.
A rumor before the pandemic is still just a rumor.
Let me know when they have contracts signed and have Serenity’s sets rebuilt.

Peeps - whaaa... hate to break it to you, but the Firefly people fell in love is long dead and buried - even the worms have moved on.
Disney+ sucks for adult/mature entertainment - that's a given. It's in the business of making money, and it wouldn't be G-14ing Firefly if they didn't think it would MAKE MONEY. So spread some blame to the consumer. Besides, how did Firefly do in it's first run?
And this is just one article - rumors mostly. Probably some Trek fan just having a laugh. 
If that's what Disney actually does do, I'll definitely watch it just out of curiosity.
Be glad they aren't going to Mark Hamill Mal and the rest of the gang.

She has three kids now. I highly doubt she was gonna come back anyway.
In the series she'd be a house mother or something else by now. Maybe a General.
Yeah, General Inara
I didn't mean the actress playing her. I meant the character and her profession, unchanged.
This IS supposed to be a reboot with the same characters, is it not?
They obviously can't do anything with the same cast. I said years back that it was too late to put OG Firefly back on the air. Everyone is too old now. Nobody wants to see grandpa Mal and grandma Inara.

BTW, do you even realize that your posts bounce from non-linear point to non-linear point worse than ever?? Do you understand that is a sign of dementia??
Okey Dokey, Dr. Nilbog.
I'll leave you to go back to work on your fascist killing death-bots.
What have you done today to earn your place in this crowded world? :)

Firefly got well over 2 Million viewers per episode.
They renewed Batwoman for season 2 on the CW even after the main actress quit. The first episode had 1.8 Million viewers. The last episode had less than 800,000 viewers. The lowest watched episode just cleared 600,000 episodes.
But this IS FOX we're talking about...

It says they would be starting over from scratch. Most likely "we can do whatever
spin we like to any character" would apply.
You'd be ok with someone else playing Inara as long as it was still "Inara"??
Any 'ol chick would work, eh?

I always assumed that's where it was heading for Mal anyway. He seems like the type to self-sacrifice in some destructive yet provocative way.
A good leader doesn't waste a good martyrdom

The Disney reboot could be based on Firefly: A Brand New Verse.
Set twenty years after the original series and movie, with the daughter of Zoe and Wash as the new captain of the Serenity, a new crew to captain.
Set 20 years after the events of Firefly, Serenity soars the 'Verse once again with a new captain – Emma, the daughter of Wash and Zo !
The old crew of Serenity has gone their own way and now Emma is working to prove herself to Zoe, alongside a new crew of castaways and misfits just trying to stay afloat.

Same with Mal and Wash and Book too. One out of those three is a given and if the acting hits the high bar of the original, it can still work.
Like I said, nobody wants to see Grandpa Mal and Grandma Inara. If they're going to use the same characters than everyone needs to be replaced.

LOL... Yup. That would be out of Disney's playbook.
Pass.
Watch that one get cancelled quicker than the original.

Ugh. Bingo - good call. After School Firefly. Without Joss’s snark and twisted but hilarious writing I can’t see liking it, but I’m not their demographic. I’d still check it out.
