If you were or still are a Browncoat, chances are you would REALLY like to see Captain Tightpants Mal Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his ginger ace pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk) back on a spaceship.

The comedic pair just launched an IndieGoGo campaign to bring a new series to life, that already has 92% of it’s projected funding a day after going live.

EDIT:  The campaign has hit it’s first funding goal as of 12:03pm.

“It’s about the convention world,” says Tudyk, who is also the show’s creator, writer, and director. “My character, Wray Nerely, was on a science fiction show called Spectrum, that was canceled too soon, and now he goes to conventions, to sign head shots, and meet fans, and do panels. Nathan’s character, Jack Moore, who was the captain of the spaceship onSpectrum, has gone on to incredible action-hero stardom, like Matt Damon. My character is frustrated with his situation and frustrated by Jack’s stardom. We follow Wray’s story as he goes to the conventions and does video game voiceovers and we are going to populate it with sci-fi actors and people that you will find at conventions. Zany hi-jinks ensue!” (According to the project’s official press release, guest stars on the show will include the pair’s fellow Firefly-ers Sean Maher and Gina Torres as well as Amy Acker (Person of Interest), Seth Green, Felicia Day, and Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn.
