Stop me if you’ve heard this one before:Netflix cancels a fan favorite seriesand viewers then immediately rally around a campaign to save the show.
Yes, Shadow and Bone is no more. The adaptation of Leigh Bardugo’s fantasy novels was scrapped after only two seasons.
“We have been working for YEARS, supporting this, we deserve better treatment, we deserve final closure,” one fan wrote in a tweet, accompanied by the hashtags #saveshadowandbone and #renewshadowandbone.
“And the world deserves to watch the most epic heist of the Ice Court unfold,” another added, referring to an event that would have been covered in a third season, given the second season’s heavy hinting of Hringkälla. “Come on, we gotta #SaveShadowAndBone And find someone who will give us a #SixOfCrowsSpinoff.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Netflix viewers have been disappointed by a sudden cancelation. Everything from Sense 8, to The OA, to last year’s 1899 have garnered a swell of grassroots support from fans under the vast majority of Netflix social media posts in recent times – to little avail.
There is a glimmer of hope, however: multiple canceled Netflix series – including Tuca & Bertie and One Day at a Time – found new homes elsewhere. Maybe the Grishaverse can launch afresh one day?
