10 Ways To Bring Back Firefly
7. Book Series
Yes, yes, Firefly already has a book series.
Currently there are two Firefly novels available to fans, and another two set for release this year.
That's a good start, and maybe Firefly is too niche to reach a wider audience in the literary world, but the possibilities here are too exciting not to mention.
Although tie-in book series aren't often best-sellers, there are occasions where they've worked incredibly well alongside existing franchises. Halo had a series of books that were well received by fans, as well as Doctor Who and Assassin's Creed.
The scope for a deeper exploration of the 'Verse is a mouth-watering prospect for fans of sci-fi fiction, and the written word could just prove to be Firefly's saviour.
It's a low risk approach for reviving Firefly, and though the book series is just getting off the ground, it could open to the door to a new TV series (or another movie) somewhere down the line. If it proves to be popular, it could be just the shot in the arm the franchise needs.
All it would take is careful packaging and marketing and just a slightly higher output, and a Firefly book series could really *ahem* take off.
