They'll fuck it up. The original cast is too old and if this is set after the film then Wash and Shepherd are dead. Better to leave it be and do something else.
There are plenty of opportunities for new stories with new characters within the Firefly universe. But as you said, they’ll just do it objectively incorrectly, on purpose.
It’s like Toy Story. 3 was the end of those characters’ story. Period. But Disney is run by mentally ill jews (but I repeat myself) who, when presented with the opportunity to sell EVEN MORE toys of brand new characters (with new tie-ins to existing products), they’re too lazy and stupid to do that. Just whore out the existing characters until everyone hates them.
Cars 2 would have been far better if none of the original cars had been in it. Put them in the background and have the story set around the international race still, sure. But give us new main characters instead of Mater. That whole world can be explor–(COUGH COUGH PLANES COUGH COUGH)–ed… one instance of it being mediocre doesn’t mean give up. The whole world can be explored further without reverting to “known property.”
I wouldn't watch new Firefly at this point at all. But twenty years ago, imagine of they had gone the SG-1 route of different stories with different casts all over the setting.
Have a retro-futuristic remake of Gunsmoke, with settlers on a planet as they deal with odd wildlife and space indians. Maybe they find necrons or some shit. Lean into the mild cosmic horror the reavers represented.
Have a show set in an asteroid belt following the crew of an Alliance frigate trying to run down smugglers. Lean into the moral greyness of the original and paint this crew as good guys enforcing law in a dangerous and chaotic frontier.
Have a cyberpunk show in the capital of one of the core worlds, following megacorp intrigue.
The universe can be bigger than one space Peterbilt.
I think it's pretty obvious Firefly was pretty character driven. And why it does have lore it's not a space opera. So I think you pose a good question. Where else would you go outside of this crew? What else would you find compelling?
It's a little like Halo, how much of the universe do you want to see outside of Master Chief?

Yea, they'd have to recast everybody and no way that's not going to be a current year shitshow, like the new Malcolm X Files.

What is this Firefly universe? Generic galactic government, generic outlaws, a few
Native Americanssavages.As it was supposed to be cowboys in space, proper term is all hat and no cattle.
I think you'll find A LOT of sci fi is basically a western with a tech improvement.
Look at Star Trek with it's focus on exploration while DS9 is a frontier town setting..

Not just that, but the actor for Shepard died ages ago.
