She was talking about Firefly, the sci-fi western that Fox canceled after a single season in 2002. She said it the way someone says something they've made peace with. Then, almost exactly a year later, Nathan Fillion knocked on her door.
'Lightning in a bottle,' she said. She spoke about the fandom as keeping the show 'living on in another dimension,' kept alive by people who simply refused to let it go. And she talked about her castmates the way people talk about family. 'We would do anything for each other,' she said. 'We've always been there for each other.'
On March 15, 2026, at AwesomeCon in Washington, D.C., Fillion announced that an animated Firefly series is in advanced development, with the original cast returning to voice their characters. Staite is among them, back as Kaylee Frye, the ship's warm-hearted, coverall-wearing mechanic. Also returning: Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, and Adam Baldwin. The project is being developed through Fillion's production company Collision33 in partnership with 20th Television Animation, with showrunners Marc Guggenheim and Tara Butters, a married couple who first met while working on the original series, already having completed a first episode script. Animation studio ShadowMachine, which has Emmy and Oscar wins to its name, is attached.
