It is set in the year 2517 and imagines a world in which, due to a civil war, people have had to leave Earth and are living in a new star system, in a spaceship. The show follows the nine-man crew of one particular spaceship, Serenity.
Created and produced by Joss Whedon, who also wrote Toy Story and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the series stars Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Summer Glau and Alan Tudyk, among others and became so popular that the series led to a 2005 feature film, Serenity.
