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.
