Serenity (2005 film) another one is not a question." Serenity (2005 film) Serenity is a 2005 American science fiction action film written and directed by Joss Whedon. It is a continuation of Whedon's short-lived 2002 Fox television series "Firefly" and stars the same cast, taking place after the events of the final episode. Set in 2517, "Serenity" is the story of the captain and crew of "Serenity", a ""Firefly"-class" spaceship. The captain and first mate are veterans of the Unification War, having fought on the losing Independent side against the Alliance. Their lives of smuggling and cargo-running are interrupted by a psychic passenger

An example of this is "Angel" Season Two,
