How did they end the TV show Firefly?

"Firefly" wasn't actually ended in a traditional sense. It was canceled after only 14 episodes aired, leaving many plot threads unresolved. However, the show's dedicated fanbase kept it alive, and it eventually gained a cult following. This led to the creation of a movie sequel, "Serenity," which provided closure to some storylines and gave fans a chance to see the characters in action again.

While the show's ending in terms of the original series was abrupt and disappointing for fans, "Serenity" provided a fitting conclusion for the main storyline. It's important to note that the movie wasn't necessarily intended as a direct continuation, but rather as a standalone adventure that expanded upon the universe established in the show.

So, technically, "Firefly" ended with the cancellation, leaving many questions unanswered. However, "Serenity" provided a more definitive ending for the core story, offering fans a sense of closure.
