I am pretty sure Joss is all done with Firefly. He doesn't take any interest in where the comic books are going. Instead he is working on some TV that comes out in 2021: The Nevers -- An epic tale following a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world. (That sounds vaguely Firefly. Or Buffy. Or Agents of SHIELD. Or everything he worked on, except for Roseann.)

That wasn't an answer to my question.

But if the answer is no, or if Joss is otherwise predisposed, I hear that JJ Abrams is free.

But I would turn it off or walk away instantly if it wasn't. Nobody here has a "relationship" with Whedon, Abrams, or even Trump. These guys are not our grandchildren and we don't have to watch whatever show they put on, like we have to with our grandchildren -- whatever the kids do is the greatest show, mostly because they are blood relatives. Whedon, Abrams, and Trump aren't relatives and will be harshly/brutally judged if their work stinks.

I think what made the original Firefly work was the original inspiration, which - IIRC - was that Whedon had read a biography about a Civil Wa soldier (rebel, as I recall) and what he did AFTER the war. How hard life was, back then. He translated the story to a similar future, making the rebels the non-slave-owning faction, and modeling The Alliance on the USA. He managed to avoid a lot of cliches and tropes, and made his main characters morally ambiguous in a morally ambiguous world: The Alliance, it had its good points (high culture, technological advancement) as well as its ethical lapses. The ex-rebels weren't pure either, and most of the people they were dealing with were pretty cutthroat. That's why the show had such broad appeal: everyone (from unrepentant southerners to urban liberals to libertarians to white males to black females to soldiers) thought the show was talking about them; it didn't disrespect a core part of their identity. That, and, well, an inventive story and good acting.

You do NOT recall correctly:

He first conceived of the series when he wasn't supposed to be thinking about television at all, during a nonworking trip to London with Kai. Joss had brought along Michael Shaara's Pulitzer Prize–winning historical novel The Killer Angels, which told the story of the soldiers in the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg in the American Civil War. What drew him in was how Shaara recounted the minutiae of the soldiers' lives; it made him think about how everyday people got by in an age when their needs weren't prepackaged and instantly available.

Under his deal with 20th Century Fox, Joss needed to deliver them a new series. He suddenly knew that this was the idea that he wanted to explore. "I wanted to play with that classic notion of the frontier," Joss said. "Not the people who made history, but the people history stepped on—the people for whom every act is the creation of civilization." And he wanted to do it on a spaceship.
