A beloved noughties sci-fi series branded by fans as the 'best show ever made' is set for a return after two decades. Series star Nathan Fillion - who played Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds - announced at Awesome Con in Washington DC that an animated reboot is in advanced development. Nathan, 54, told the publication: 'The dedication of Firefly fans has kept this 25-year-old show relevant. Another said: 'This is possibly one of the best series ever, and certainly is among the best science fiction series or movies ever made.' A third wrote: 'This is one of the absolute best sci-fi shows ever created and got the royal screw treatment by Fox.'
