Firefly is getting a shiny new TV special.

To celebrate the cult-favorite sci-fi drama's 10th anniversary, Science Channel is shooting a new one-hour special chronicling the Firefly cast reunion at Comic-Con this week.

The special — titled Browncoats Unite — will include footage from Friday's reunion panel, featuring several members of the original team including star Nathan Fillion and creator Joss Whedon. Plus, the cast is shooting an in-depth behind-the-scenes roundtable interview that will dive deeper into burning fan questions about the beloved series. Both the panel and the roundtable will be moderated by Entertainment Weekly's own Jeff Jensen.

"Firefly is a landmark work of science fiction and a favorite with our viewers," said Debbie Myers, general manager and executive vp of Science. "Ever since it premiered on Science, fans have asked us to do something special to mark its 10-year anniversary. With this signature celebration, punctuated by Browncoats Unite, we will connect the minds behind this classic franchise with its legions of passionate fans."

In addition to Whedon and Fillion, Friday's 12:30 p.m. Comic-Con panel will feature Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher, showrunner Tim Minear, and writer Jose Molina. The special, produced by Pangolin Pictures, promises to unearth defining memories and first-person accounts of making the show from both sides of the camera. Browncoats Unite will air on Science, along with an all-day marathon of Firefly episodes, on Sunday, Nov. 11.

Sweet! I'll have to go over to the parent to watch it on HD. (I don't get the Science channel)
And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

Added YouTube version to previous post.

Thank you! I was there and I was so overwhelmed with emotion I can't remember what all was said. I just remember all the love that was felt all around. It was thick and warm and electrifying. I did miss those unable to make it.

Totally worth the lack of sleep.

  Oh so much nostalgia going on with that. I need to watch again which might be what
I do the next few weeks since my near vision will be shot all to hell for awhile until I
get some new glasses. I might be doing TV marathons. :)

  You know what really makes me mad is that I didn't get to see more of Nathan when
he looked like this in this show. Of all the cast members, this last 10 years has really showed
on his face. Everyone else has aged pretty gracefully. He was so goodlooking in Firefly
and if this ever comes back I will miss that face.

I do agree with you. However did you ever see his baby face on One Life to Live? Google JoeyBuchanan and Dorian Lord.

That is the face I miss the most.

Then there was the show: Two Guys and a Girl. Nathan was not one of the 2 guys he was the girl's boyfriend.

That all being said that as bad as Nathan may look on camera, in person he is still quite breathtaking. Add to that his natural charm and charisma, Forget about itNathan is swoon worthy.

  Yes, he is still very goodlooking and looks much better at those cons than in Castle. I
think some of that is lighting.

  No, I don't remember him in One Life to Live but I should since my Mother and Aunt
watched those shows and it was on when I visited.

  I do remember Two Guys and a Girl. When we had a Brigade Command one of the wives
of one of the Company Commanders was the sister of one of the two male leads. I can't
remember now which one. She was always talking about the show and knew Nathan but
of course he wasn't even on my radar then.
