The news stories I've read mentioned that the series is in development, but that the distribution is still tbd. I.e. no deals have been signed yet with Netflix or anyone else.

From 3/17/2026:

At the moment, the revival still does not have a confirmed network or streaming home, which means it remains in development rather than fully greenlit for release. In other words, the announcement is real, but the next stage will be finding a platform willing to officially send Firefly back into the air.

It was an awesome show in its time, and we got a movie too. Let it be enough. I own the series and enjoy rewatching it, but you can't go back.
