Since the announcement of Netflix canceling Shadow and Bone, the fandom has started a petition. Joining forces with other fantasy fandoms under Netflix’s registry – Sandman, Lockwood & Co, and Warrior Nun – they have amassed almost 150,000 signatures.
They have gained attention from various online media websites, the actors, the original writer, and the head showrunner himself, Popping into the r/grishaverse page, he had this to say:
… “Does it mean a legitimate shot at Netflix doing an about-face? I don’t rightly know, at least not yet. This is uncharted territory. I can say the petition racked up more than 100k signatures faster than any other property in recent memory. If my sources are correct, Manifest took more than two weeks to reach that. So by any metric we have, it’s a shining success.
And the truth is, every bit helps — whether it’s to turn the lights back on at Netflix, or to find a foster parent who will take us in. It will take some time, either way. This time of year is the trickiest, since so many studios and streamers are shutting down/restructuring/waiting for the dust to settle post-strike. Big decisions will likely be pushed to the top of next year. I’m not asking for patience — I certainly don’t have any more, after being strung along for months. I’m just setting expectations. … “
There is also a petition for a billboard which has almost gained its goal.
.. “And I know for a fact several key Netflix people are watching the trending topics, the petitions, the IG posts.”
Can it happen? We shall see!
