Series Information:
Firefly is an American science fiction television series created by
writer/director Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and
Angel, under his Mutant Enemy Productions. Its naturalistic future
setting, modeled after traditional Western movie motifs, it presents an
atypical backdrop for the science fiction narrative. Whedon served as
executive producer, along with Tim Minear.
Firefly premiered in the United States and Canada on the FOX network on
September 20, 2002. It was canceled after only eleven of the fourteen
produced episodes were aired. This may be because FOX aired the episodes
out of order. Despite the series' relatively short life span, it
received strong sales when it was released on DVD, and has impressive
fan support campaigns. It won an Emmy in 2003 for "Outstanding Special
Visual Effects for a Series". The post-airing success of the show led
Whedon and Universal Pictures to produce a film based on the series,
titled Serenity after the fictional Firefly-class spaceship featured in
the show.
The series is set in the year 2517, after humans have arrived at a new
star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of
Serenity, a Firefly-class spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine
characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people
looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".
The show explores the lives of people who fought on the losing side of a
civil war and now make a living on the outskirts of the society, as well
as the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system.
In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers,
the United States and China, fused to form the central federal
government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two
cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in
the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same
political, moral, and ethical problems as today."
