Firefly: Browncoats Unite on Science Channel

The time has come, my fellow Browncoats. After months of hype from their tenth anniversary panels at San Diego and New York Comic-Con, the cast and crew of Firefly will reunite once more for Firefly: Browncoats Unite, a special televised event on Science Channel.

This 60-minute special will feature creator Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion and the rest of the Serenity crew as they provide the complete oral history on the franchise that began a decade ago. On November 11 at 10pm ET/PT, fans will be treated to secrets from the set, exclusive cast interviews and footage from this year's massive SDCC panel that dominated the convention.

Joining Whedon and Fillion are cast members Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres and Jewel Staite, as well as executive producer Tim Minear and executive story editor Jose Molina. In honor of this gathering, Science Channel was able to recreate the set of Serenity, parts and all.

"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, GM and Executive VP of Science Channel. "Our goal is to present them the series they love, but in a totally new and surprising way."

The network's Saturday extravaganza begins at 7am ET/PT with an all-day marathon of the 14-episode series. Later that evening at 8pm, the final two episodes will be enhanced and presented as Firefly: Special Edition, which will offer viewers additional insight into the inner workings of the series with behind-the-scenes info.
