Firefly - Science Channel to Produce Extras

17 Feb 2011

Share on Reddit
Browncoats rejoice: Firefly is returning to basic cable — and Nathan Fillion has something to say about it.

The Science Channel has acquired the rights to the cult-hit and will air the series in its short-lived entirety, plus some new extras. Science Channel will wrap each episode with interstitial segments starring renowned physicist Dr. Michio Kaku, who will discuss the theoretical science behind the show’s sci-fi concepts.

According to Firefly studio 20th Century Fox, this will mark the first time Firefly has aired on a fully distributed basic cable channel since 2008, when it ran on USA Network.

In honor of this occasion, star Nathan Fillion took a brief break from shooting ABC’s Castle today to jump on the phone and answer five Firefly questions — including whether he’d ever reprise the role of Captain Mal again. That interview and more details about Science Channel’s Firefly plans below:

    This should be pretty sweet! The Science channel does great work and anything that adds to Firefly is more than OK in my book. When people ask me what the show is about I tell them “Think of Star Wars, take out the Force, and make it from Han Solo's point of view." I've never failed to convert someone when using that description. As a DISH customer/employee I use their TV Everywhere app for my iPhone so once Firefly makes it's triumphant return I can watch the show anywhere I get a 3G connection, whether it's on Live or on my DVR.
