Jewel Staite: There’s "A Better Chance" of "The L.A. Complex" Revival than "Firefly"

Jewel Staite is all too familiar with the heartbreak of a cancelled TV show.

The actress co-starred as mechanic Kaylee in the cult fave "Firefly", then was part of another short-lived drama, "The L.A. Complex". With their devoted fanbases, both series are often the subject of revival talk. (Firefly did beat the odds and got a follow-up movie, Serenity, in 2005.)

But if Staite had to place her bets on which show is more likely to come back, her answer might surprise you.

“I get asked all the time about Season 2 of Firefly, which makes me laugh because it’s been like 20 years, but when I get asked that, I’m like, ‘There’s a better chance of L.A. Complex than there is of Firefly,'” Staite tells TVLine while promoting her current series "Family Law".

“There’s been rumblings and talk about that with [L.A. Complex creator] Martin [Gero] a little bit over the last few years in the hopes that maybe we could get to do that again someday,” Staite says.

However, Staite does have a wish for her fan-fave character Kaylee: “Oh, I just wanted her to be a mom,” she shares, assuring TVLine that Simon (Sean Maher) would be the baby daddy.

“I think Kaylee would have made a wonderful mother, and I love the idea of a baby being on the ship and raising the stakes so much. I feel like it would just show different sides to every character’s personality to have a baby around. I would love to have seen Captain Mal holding an infant and not sure what to do with it…. I feel like there’s way more than one kid there. Kaylee would just want to have as many as possible.”
