Firefly is one of the most beloved sci-fi series of all time with its cast being key to its cultural phenomena. Leading the fleet is Nathan Fillion, who plays Captain Malcolm ‘Mal’ Reynolds in the television series. Unfortunately, Firefly was controversially canceled after just a single season on air. It remains a much-loved series and is ranked as one of the highest-rated television shows on IMDb at no. 34. This show was career-defining for Fillion, who later reprised his role in Serenity, the follow-up movie. Fillion also played the lead role in the series Castle, which ran from 2009 to 2016.

Now, Fillion’s best-known current work is in the TV series The Rookie, debuting as John Nolan in 2018. The ABC series follows Nolan as he goes through a midlife crisis and decides to pivot his career by joining the LAPD. The Rookie is currently in season 7, airing episodes weekly on Tuesdays. While The Rookie airs on ABC and Hulu, another Fillion project is hitting the streaming charts.

Waitress Has Served Up A Spot On The Max Top 10

Waitress Was Adapted Into A Musical Of The Same Name

Waitress has now made it into Max’s top 10 charts. The romantic comedy stars Keri Russell as Jenna, a Southern waitress who becomes pregnant by her husband, with whom she is unhappily married. Fillion played Dr. Pomatter, Jenna’s charismatic OB-GYN and a former pie lover. The Adrienne Shelley-directed movie was well-liked by critics, holding an 89% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie was later adapted into a Broadway musical of the same name, which featured songs by pop icon Sarah Bareilles.

Waitress has now made it onto the Max charts, coming at no. 7 in the top 10 in the United States today, February 4. It falls behind Goodrich, Uncharted, Dredd, Speed, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and The Dark Knight, but made it above A Different Man, Your Monster, and The Accountant.

Our Take On Waitress’ Streaming Success

The Musical Pro-SH๏τ Is Coming To Max Soon

The movie’s top 10 status comes a week before Max is set to release the pro-sH๏τ of the Waitress Broadway musical adaptation on its platform. The pro-sH๏τ was available in theaters in the United States in December 2023 for a five-day event series of screenings. Now, the Waitress pro-sH๏τ is coming to Max on February 14, just in time for Valentine’s Day. As such, Max is likely to make an effort to promote the 2007 movie version to also drive up views for the pro-sH๏τ’s streaming release.
