I'd like to see a new Firefly series.
But DO NOT bring Wash back to life! That would be such a total cheat on the audience. If you establish that people can come back from the dead in your universe, you instantly wipe out the tension from any dangerous situation - "We might die!" say the characters. "Well so what if they do, they'll just come back like Wash did" says the audience.
Look at Buffy. They established that you could come back from the dead, and then spent years tiptoeing around that. "Oh, well, it's only if you died a magical death. And, um, you can only do it once. And..." Because once death is not permanent, you just can't write a series properly any more.
Now if you want the actor back, then say the Alliance cloned him from tissue samples and have a clone come back. Only make it a completely different character! Not necessarily evil, but different.
