'Firefly' Cast To Return in Alan Tudyk's New Series 'Con Man'


Browncoats hoping to see a Firefly cast reunion would be glad to see it happen in Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion's new comedy series Con Man. The 12-episode fan-funded series received $2.8 Million in funding.

The series follows Wray Nerely and Jack Moore, played by Tudyk and Fillion, who are best known for their roles in Joss Whedon's sci-fi series Firefly.

Tudyk shared some interesting info during his Reddit AMA. Here's what he said about bringing the crew back together in the show:

Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk-Me!) was a co-star on
Spectrum
, a sci-fi series which was canceled -Too Soon- yet became a cult classic. Wray's good friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred in the series and has gone on to become a major movie star. While Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister, Wray tours the sci-fi circuit as a guest of conventions, comic book stores, and lots of pop culture events. The show will feature all the weird and crazy things that happen to Wray along the way to these events.
The series is a light-hearted take on the personalities, luminaries, and characters in the sci­-fi community we are privileged to call ourselves members.
Con Man
is a way to share some of the surreal occurrences we have had, while telling the story of a guy learning to love and embrace his fans.
I wanted to make a show that featured all of my favorite convention artists and friends together. Not only that, I wanted to celebrate the world where heroes, villains, zombie hunters, and space pirates all overlap. I especially wanted to work with my friend Nathan Fillion again.

That gives fans, especially Browncoasts, more reasons to watch the show. Gina Torres and Sam Maher have already signed on for their roles, so we'll definitely see them in the first season. The other Firefly stars will have cameo roles.

We'll also see Battlestar Galactica alums Michael Trucco and Tricia Helfer; and The Walking Dead's Emily Kinney in the new series.

As much as I'm looking forward to see the Firefly cast together in Con Man, I'm still hoping that we'll see a new season of Firefly soon.
