Ah, so this is the special announcement. It's probably easier to schedule voice recordings than full, on set live action.
I wonder what animation style they'll use.

They could have filmed it Arrested Development style. "What do you mean, ask Wash? He's at the other end of our modest ship!"
Different post had an example of the style.

Huh, not what I was expecting. It looks like rotoscope, which while a cool look, it seems unlikely that the cast would be planning to fully act out episodes in person (though maybe they are, which would be kinda cool). If they're just doing it for the look without the real life acting, that seems like a whole heap of extra effort that would bog down production. Is it possible that the final look will be significantly different?
This looks like the art from the Firefly TTRPG, but I'm most likely wrong.

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
Disney owns it now, so 50/50 chance palpatine will return.
Somehow…
“Hello. I’m Wash’s previously unmentioned identical twin brother Dry. I’m glad to be joining the crew. In memory of my brother would you guys mind calling me Wash? Great thanks.”
Zoë: Wash 2, you are twice the man Wash 1 was!
The animated series would be set between the events of the 2002 series and the 2005 big-screen continuation, Serenit
Should be fine, the spear is still dirty!

It's set before the movie, sidestepping that problem.

People aren’t reading the article apparently based on the questions about Wash.
The animated series would be set between the events of the 2002 series and the 2005 big-screen continuation, Serenity
It's not like the movie cared all that much about continuity either. They should just ignore it entirely. Or as someone else I saw said, consider it just a fever dream during Out of Gas.

Original cast set to return
I'd be ok if there was at least one exclusion there...
You mean you don't want Shepherd Book to be voiced by a reanimated corpse? 🤔
?
Adam Baldwin is a major right-wing ragebaiter that was at the center of the gamergate bullshit, even being credited with coining the term itself. Since then he's just gotten worse.
Fits for his character.
So true lol
Well that does certainly puts a harsh dull on the situation.
i wasnt super enthused about an animated show to begin with, but i think this probably just killed it for me harder than fox.
Oof. Thanks!
You can't take the sky from me!
Is it just me or are voice acting and acting two different skill sets not every actor has? Love to be wrong but I am not sure it will translate well.
Many of the original cast are regular voice actors in games and animated series. I have zero worries in that regard. They were an extremely talented crew.
Here I am worried the animation won't be able to catch some of their facial expressions that really added tremendous depth to the characters.
Oh for sure. Plenty of other things to be worried about beyond mere voices :)
Alan Tudyk will just have to stand in for everyone else as well, he already voices every 3rd Disney character.
And I would absolutely watch it.
They are different but do feed into each other. When voice acting for a character, actors will be on camera, and they will be acting the part while talking into the mic. Animators will incorporate a lot of the voice actors' mannerisms, facial expressions, and motions into their final product because it makes the animation much more life-like. Its more than just sitting blankly in front of a mic.

Shiny!
Harris is on a stake out with Dietrich so he probably wont he there.
Please tell me Nathan pushed The Button during the announcement.
Oh dear. I have some mixed feelings coming up.
I'll take it, but what I really need right now is Nathan Fillion to ditch The Rookie asap and get back into sci-fi.
Maybe he can reprise Captain Hammer and do a song and dance number in the Superhero Retirement Home.
