It will be tough to match the chemistry of the actors/characters though.

Firefly's strength was in the cast and characters, which is true for every good thing Whedon has created. He's one of the all-time greats at creating ensemble casts.
The world of Firefly on the other hand is (also in typical Whedon-style), a pretty generic mishmash of really widely used tropes. I don't really see that much of value there outside of brand recognition, other than it's a pretty open canvas. (Personally I never understood why some people are so obsessed with that series.)
No reason it couldn't be gold with great writers, but that goes for anything.
