It was introduced as a mid-season replacement on the [[Fox Network|Fox]] channel in 2002. Fox cancelled the program after airing 11 of the 14 produced episodes.

| | The show is set 500 years in the future, after humanity has fled [[earth]] and terraformed the planets and moons of a neighboring star system. The story follows the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship ''Serenity'', whose captain and first mate are former members of the Independents, a recently defeated military movement against the system's centralized government, known as the Alliance. The war for Independence in the ''Firefly'' universe has strong parallels to the [[American Civil War]], and indeed despite its space-opera setting, ''Firefly'''s locations and characters are strongly reminiscent of American westerns. The show often had [[humor|funny]] dialogue. | | The show is set 500 years in the future, after humanity has fled [[earth]] and terraformed the planets and moons of a neighboring star system.
