well the character Shepard book is going to be in it

"We’re bringing back Shepherd Book for certain. Ron Glass, unfortunately, is not available. Ron once joked that he didn’t get a part when they were looking for a Ron Glass-type, and here we are again. We’re looking for a Ron Glass-type, and it’s not going to be Ron Glass." - Nathan

Given that, as I recall, the crew didn't have Wash's body? Yeah, he shows up some time later with a bunch of cybernetic organs to replace what got obliterated, and his behavior a little... off (which is totally in Tudyk's wheelhouse) and you're off to the races.

I think we’re better off looking to soaps, rather than sci-fi, for inspiration. Slap a goatee on him, say he’s an evil twin, and call it a day.

Given that Book is coming back as well, I'd bet on the animated show focusing on the period between the show and the movie.

So you want to bring in the evil twin before Wash’s death? Well, it’s unusual but hardly unprecedented. Twice the Tudyk, twice the fun! (Fourdyk?)

They have explicitly stated that they will be working between the series and movie. I mused about eventually reaching beyond that because canonically there's like 6 or 8 months of time in there, which is a pretty hard limit.
