hbo max: we killed your show

ofmd fans who trained for this: season 3 is in the walls of the revenge

Lucifer was saved by a large, trending effort on social media. It was picked up by Netflix after about a month or so. And I've heard of shows being picked up after just a few days.

I know we have a large international audience. I know there's viewership that extends beyond HBO Max's scope. So maybe there's hope there yet?

#Pick Up OFMD

#Be A Lighthouse

and whatever else we can get to take off.

We need to save OFMD because no other show has managed to embody my very specific queer aesthetic, which is 'ardently declaring my undying gay love with a kiss whilst splattered in the blood of the english soldiers I just cut down with a sword'.

After my dads broke up in a bookshop, my gay uncles brought me back to life. We. Are. Fighting. For. Them.

I’ll be honest: I’ve never seen Our Flag Means Death.

But just seeing the reactions of the fandom, the hope and effort they’re putting into this show, has made me want to contribute. I can see how much OFMD matters to you guys. Your posts about it are both devastating and immensely touching.

This is my little addition to the #renew as a crew tag <3

Taika still wears some of Ed's jewelry.

Taika got some of Ed's tattoos, quite literally carving Ed's spirit into himself in permanent ink.

It is both upsetting & embarrassing that David - who is, more than any of us, in mourning - felt the need to DEFEND Taika's love of and commitment to OFMD because of some of y'all.

Be a Lighthouse - Fight For OFMD Season 3

Hi everyone. The news of our cancellation is both incredibly devastating, and quite shocking considering the trajectory of the show and its fanbase. Everything looked like it was lining up in a positive fashion...only for the rug to get yanked out from under us.

I cried. I went numb. I stared at the wall for a while.

But then, something sparked. Like Ed who was resolved to his fate in S1Ep4 only to rocket back upwards, I was struck with a realization: we need to be a lighthouse!

Fanbases have campaigned before, and have gotten results. Sense8 was able to get a two hour finale to properly wrap everything up. Lucifer was able to get picked up by Netflix after being cancelled by Fox. Brooklyn 99 was able to get picked up by NBC after being cancelled by Fox. And many more examples.

Be it a proper renewal, a finale wrap that entails Ed and Stede's wedding, or the attention from another network, I say we fight that good fight. So, here are some ways we can be heard; if you think of any additional points, please feel free to add them!

If you don't cancel your Max Subscription, continue watching the show and leaving feedback on Max's online feedback form. I had a kneejerk reaction when cancellation was announced and pulled the plug...only to sit back and reconsider. I want them to still get my metrics. I want them to still see the show means something to me. And whether that's through words or statistics, I feel like that's something.

2. Follow @renewasacrew and keep up with their resources/campaigns. They're very active and passionate, and have already come up with different ways to fight for our show.

3. Sign the petition to give us just that little bit more of a chance to have our voices heard.

4. Stay active on social media, and stay positive. Continue sharing how much this show means to us. Continue creating. Continue loving. Use hashtags like-

#RenewAsACrew

#SaveOFMD

#RenewOFMD

#BeALighthouse

#OFMDSeason3

or anything equivalent on any and all OFMD-related posts. Keep the buzz about it going on social media. Comment on posts, keep spreading the word, and get the light burning.

5. Renewasacrew has given us another outlet; an official HBO email address. Write an email detailing your personal experience with this show, and how significant a third season would be.

6. Tweet/email other platforms to pique their interest. Be it Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, or whoever else, let's see if we can't catch someone else's attention. A romcom with iconic LGBT representation seems pretty enticing if you ask me!

This show means the world to me. Y'all mean the world to me. So let's show them why. Let's show them why, and get the proper ending we, the cast and crew, and the characters all deserve.
