(Silver Spring, Md.) —After months of intense buzz and two blockbuster panels at both San Diego and New York Comic-Con,
it’s finally time for the main event – FIREFLY: BROWNCOATS UNITE
on November 11 at 10 PM (ET/PT), Science Channel reunites Joss Whedon,
Nathan Fillion and the entire renegade crew of the Serenity for the
first time ever to provide the complete oral history on the franchise
that continues to explode in popularity - despite
meeting its end a decade ago. The 60-minute special includes secrets
from the set, exclusive cast interviews, and footage from this year’s
colossal Comic-Con panel that dominated the pop culture conversation.
Joining Whedon and Fillion for
FIREFLY: BROWNCOATS UNITE are Serenity crewmembers Sean Maher,
Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres and
Jewel Staite; along with executive producer Tim Minear and executive
story editor Jose Molina.
This summer, FIREFLY
creator Joss Whedon triumphantly exclaimed to a crowd of thousands at
San Diego Comic-Con
that “the story is alive.” Legions of fans across the world couldn’t
agree more, proving that a series which is comprised of only 14 episodes
had endured the test of time. Guided by Entertainment Weekly senior
writer Jeff Jensen, Science Channel re-created
the set of the Serenity for this epic gathering capturing the insights
and memories of space’s most-rebellious flight crew - including the
moment they realized they were canceled and where they believe the
FIREFLY universe could live next.
“When Science Channel began airing
FIREFLY in 2011, we immediately realized that these fans are a
subculture united by a unique and fanatical passion for the series,”
says
Debbie Adler Myers, general manager and executive vice president of
Science Channel. “Our goal is to present them the
series they love - but in a totally new and surprising way. Whether
that’s through exploring the science behind the show or reuniting the
entire cast for the first time, we
want Science Channel to be the home for Browncoats everywhere.”
Science Channel’s
FIREFLY Sunday extravaganza begins at 7AM ET/PT with an all-day
marathon of the series. Then, at 10PM ET/PT, the event Browncoats
everywhere have been waiting for -
FIREFLY: BROWNCOATS UNITE premieres on Science Channel.
FIREFLY
the series
is
set in the year 2517, in a new star system and follows the adventures
of the ragtag crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The
ensemble cast depicts nine
distinct characters who, have all banded together for very different
reasons. Led by Captain Mal Reynolds (Fillion), who fought on the
losing side of a civil war, viewers engage with characters who, are now
living on the outskirts of society,
FIREFLY: BROWNCOATS UNITE
is
produced by Science Channel. Debbie Myers is general manager and
executive vice president of Science Channel. Bernadette McDaid is vice
president of
production and Kaitlin McIntyre is producer for Science Channel.
