Our Flag Means Death got cancelled by HBOMax last week - two seasons in to a three-season arc, and I'm so sad. Pre-production hiring had already begun, for crying out loud! The BBC have season one on iPlayer, and I really want to see how it ends.

There's a huge effort to try and change the minds of the execs, and to that end if you could sign/share the petition I'd be so so grateful. It might not help, but it definitely won't hurt.
Here it is: Petition link here

Stupidly watched "last man on earth" not realising it had been cancelled on a cliff hanger. Also still very resentful Netflix cancelled Drew Barrymore's "Santa Clarita Diet" - it was Drew Barrymore, come one Netflix!
Wouldn't it be great if all the cliffhanger ended shows could have a 1 hr TV film just to tie up the story line?

I loved Last Man on Earth.

From a long while ago, BBC 'The Hour' with Romola Garai, Ben Whishaw & Dominic West, set in a 1950s new TV newsroom, but with a mystery element to it.

It was so good. It ended after the second season on a cliffhanger. A huge cliffhanger.

A decade later, I'm still bitter.

Netflix cancelling shows half way through the story arc is really annoying. It shouldn't be allowed 😀 they should have to have a way to tie up a series if that happens.

Snowpiercer (and yes there is a season 4 made), Designated Survivor, Grand Army are 3 in particular I mourn.

I also loved The Hour.

Yes to GLOW! So annoying that was cancelled, it was mid storyline!

Firefly
Angel
Hannibal
The Lost Room
Carnivale

FIREFLY 😭
Got to disagree with you on Angel, though, that had run its course I think. And Buffy had a perfect ending.

Our Flag Means Death has billboards in Times Square NYC right now! And a plane message flyover above the HBOMax offices in LA later today!

Agree the coroner
Shakespeare & Hathaway
not sure if what cancelled but only ever saw one series “The Last Detective” starred Peter Davidson was so well acted & had some really good humour.
Home Fires & Yy the Stephen Mangan detective agency series.

LenaLamont · 19/01/2024 10:48

Definitely agree about Lockwood and Co, it was great fun - don’t worry, @JuJuHeyHey , there’s a full story arc in the series.

I can’t believe they actually have Snowpiercer ready to go and no one is showing it! How completely stupid.

LyndaLaHughes · 19/01/2024 10:53

Mine was Alcatraz with Sam Neill. It was incredible. Does anyone else remember it?

I use this site a lot to plan my viewing and they did a very interesting article just before Xmas. It mentions Lockwood and Co too.

Lockwood and Co on netflix. At least I can read the books to find out what is behind the door I suppose. Great young cast, production and writing. Such a shame they cancelled the next series before it had a chance.

There is a petition for Lockwood and Co too

Both of these!! I was so so mad, they were both fantastic shows!

Santa Clarita Diet 😭

Ended on such a cliffhanger too and then just wasn't renewed. Never got over it 😂

I Loved this show! I was gutted.

RampantIvy · 20/01/2024 17:31

Oh no. I'm gutted.

Petition signed.

I hate it when a show starts on terrestial TV or the streaming channels we do subscribe to then moves to Sky or yet another streaming channel we don't subscribe to and don't want.

We really got into Manifest season 1 to find that seasons 2 and 3 are on Prime for £17.99, then season 4 is back on Netflix. I'm not forking out for more TV viewing.

Britannia.

Mad as a box of frogs, great cast, abandoned in the middle of the story.

I loved that programme too, great music and McKenzie Crook was amazing in it. I think about it quite often.

Home Fires & Yy the Stephen Mangan detective agency series.

There’s three series of Shakespeare and Hathaway - all worth watching.

Riverlee · 20/01/2024 17:53

Schimagoonn(sp?) - just heard there’s not going to be a third series, or at least Apple aren’t taking it up. Apparently it’s all written so hopefully another organisation will take it up.

Oh I love that show, that’s a shame. The first two seasons work on our own though so at least there’s no cliffhanger.

I think the Lost Room was meant to be a mini series but I would have loved it to be picked up properly, I was fascinated by the Objects!

I was about to post this as I found this out yesterday, I'm gutted, I've been obssessed with the season 2 soundtrack the last couple of weeks!
