With the news that Netflix is canceling the sitcom *Fuller House* after season 5, fans have begun a campaign to revive the show. Here’s how you can get involved, plus what fans are doing to make their voices heard.
Let’s quickly rewind and cover the events of the past few months. Season 4 was released on Netflix in its regular timeslot in December. Rumors were circulating around that time about the show being canceled, but up until late January, we hadn’t heard the future plans for the show.
Then, on January 31st, Netflix announced that the show would be returning for one final farewell season. What most fans took from this announcement, however, is that the series would be coming to an end. Five seasons is obviously falling far short of the eight seasons that *Full House* managed on ABC.
With the announcement, social media channels erupted with people asking either for Netflix to reconsider or for a network like ABC to take over the license.
How can you get involved?
At the moment, most people on social media are using the hashtags “#SaveFullerHouse,” which is also being posted under “#HowRudeCampaign.”
Will Netflix change their decision?
The chances of a reversal of the decision are slim. Netflix usually makes decisions that stick, with a few rare exceptions.
After the cancellation of *Sense8*, for example, hundreds of thousands of fans took to social media and petition sites, managing to get Netflix to give the series a final episode, which was released last year.
Most fans seem to be putting their hopes on ABC, the original network of *Full House*, to pick up the show.
Why was *Fuller House* canceled?
Sadly, Netflix hasn’t given an official reason, but it’s likely that viewing figures weren’t quite where Netflix wanted them. The streaming service did switch up its release schedule, splitting seasons into two halves, but it reverted after just one season of that schedule.
Other ways to support the show
Beyond signing petitions and using hashtags, fans can show their support by rewatching episodes on Netflix, sharing memorable moments and fan art on social media, or even creating videos to celebrate the series. The goal is to keep the conversation going and show networks that the fanbase remains strong and engaged.
