Firefly is getting a shiny new TV special.
To celebrate the cult-favorite sci-fi drama’s 10th anniversary, Science Channel is shooting a new one-hour special chronicling the Firefly cast reunion at Comic-Con this week.
The special — titled Browncoats Unite — will include footage from Friday’s reunion panel, featuring several members of the original team including star Nathan Fillion and creator Joss Whedon. Plus, the cast is shooting an in-depth behind-the-scenes roundtable interview that will dive deeper into burning fan questions about the beloved series. Both the panel and the roundtable will be moderated by Entertainment Weekly‘s own Jeff Jensen.
“Firefly is a landmark work of science fiction and a favorite with our viewers,” said Debbie Myers, general manager and executive vp of Science. “Ever since it premiered on Science, fans have asked us to do something special to mark its 10-year anniversary. With this signature celebration, punctuated by Browncoats Unite, we will connect the minds behind this classic franchise with its legions of passionate fans.”
In addition to Whedon and Fillion, Friday’s 12:30 p.m. Comic-Con panel will feature Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, showrunner Tim Minear, and writer Jose Molina. The special, produced by Pangolin Pictures, promises to unearth defining memories and first-person accounts of making the show from both sides of the camera. Browncoats Unite will air on Science, along with an all-day marathon of Firefly episodes, on Sunday, Nov. 11.

Last July, the Science channel announced that they would be airing a tenth anniversary special for Joss Whedon's beloved sci-fi series Firefly this November. Well, November is nearly upon us and Science hasn't forgotten their promise! The channel followed up today with a fresh reminder that Firefly: Browncoats Unite is set to air next month, and some updates on what will be featured.
It's hard to believe it's been ten years since Firefly aired. The Fox series didn't receive the attention it deserved at the time, but has since gone on to earn a cult following of fans known as Browncoats, a reference to the Independence fighters in the Firefly-verse, of which lead character Malcolm and his first mate Zoe were once a part. Since its cancellation, the series received a follow-up feature film, and fans have continued to express their support. This summer in San Diego, the cast reunited at Comic-Con, much to the delight of the many fans in attendance. Those of us who couldn't be there can, at the very least, see some of the footage during the Browncoats Unite special.
Science's Firefly: Browncoats Unite is a one-hour special, which includes exclusive cast interviews and footage from this year's Comic-Con panel. It's set to air Sunday, November 11 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Science channel. But those Firefly fans who aim to misbehave a bit more can start their day by immersing themselves in the series, as Science as an all-day Firefly event lined up, beginning with a full series marathon that starts at 7:00 a.m. ET/PT.
Next weekend for those interested!
