Firefly Confirms 10th Anniversary Comic-Con Panel

Sadly, the Castle cast will not be in attendance at Comic-Con this year.

But Nathan Fillion sure will be: the star will join Joss Whedon, Tim Minear, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher and Michael Fairman for a special Firefly panel discussion in honor of that cult favorite's 10th anniversary.

It will take place on Friday, July 13 at 12:30 p.m. in Ballroom 20.

The Q&A will be sponsored by the Science Channel, whose reruns of the drama have drawn solid ratings from an audience that remains loyal to the short-lived series.

In addition to the Firefly panel, the hourlong session will feature never-before-seen clips, along with what the network is hyping as "numerous buzz-worthy surprises," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Let the celebration begin, Browncoats.
