Series stars Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk (both series' regulars on the sci-fi series Firefly (2002)) raised the money for this project through crowdfunding on Indiegogo. Originally asking for about $425,000 they ended up with $3,156,179 pledged.
When Alan Tudyk had a guest-starring role on a season 5 episode of the TV series Justified (2010), he was credited not as 'Alan Tudyk', but as Wray Nerely - the name of his character in Con Man (2015).
The series is divided in four narrative arcs: episodes 1-4, 5-7, 8-10, and 11-13.
The show heavily features actors who have been in sci-fi shows including Star Trek TNG, Enterprise, Heroes and Firefly
All of the main cast of Firefly (2002) /Serenity (2005) appear in the series at some point except for Adam Baldwin (who played Jayne) and Morena Baccarin (who played Inara) and Ron Glass (who played Shepherd Book)
