[b]Firefly[/b] was a 2002 American space Western drama television series, created by Joss Whedon, who previously created [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]].

Set in the year 2517, humans have left Earth and settled in other planets in another star system. The series follow the crew of the spaceship Serenity, a Firefly-class ship, and their adventures throughout the star system. 

The series was cancelled after 14 episodes. Due to Firefly's popularity with fans and strong DVD sales, a 2005 movie, [I]Serenity[/i], was released as a proper finale for the series.
