Question

What if the show might end up continuing?

Community Answer

If there is any hope whatsoever that the show will continue, support it in any way possible to show the network that the show has an audience. Look for petitions online and sign them. Send the network an email. Maybe try contacting Netflix or Hulu about picking up your favorite show.

Question

What can I do if there is a second series, but I'm afraid it won't live up to the original?

Community Answer

Just give it a try. Watch an episode or two; if you like it, continue watching. If you don't, find another show to watch. Search "shows like (blank)" and plenty of results will come up.

Question

How do I find other shows that are like my favorite one that has ended?

Community Answer

If you look the show up on IMDB, on the column to the right of the show's details you'll often find user lists on which the show appears. This can be a good way to find similar programs you might enjoy. You can also check out the site tastedive.com, in which you type in a show and it produces a list of recommendations.

Question

My favorite show just ended with a major cliffhanger, and I can't forget it. What do I do?

Community Answer

Try to write some fanfic about what you think would happen. If the show is popular, there are probably already theory sites and stories that you could find by searching online.

Question

How can I cope with waiting for the next season of my favorite show?

Community Answer

Keep rewatching episodes from the other seasons that came before it and predict what's going to happen next! Maybe look at the wikia for your show to see when the episodes are going to come out. Sometimes there is a bit of information about each episode before they come out. Watch films and write fanfics about stuff you would like to happen later on in a show. Keep track of the creator's twitter or any other social networks and you may get clues about what's going to happen next!

Question

What do I do if my favorite show ended on a cliffhanger and it was cancelled?

Make your own endings as fan fiction and post them online. I bet other people have done the same. Look around on Tumblr and FanFiction.net for examples.

Question

What should I do if I am having a hard time waiting for a new season of my favorite show to come out?

Community Answer

You could rewatch the whole series from the beginning, or watch your favorite episodes. You might see things you missed the first time. You could also see what the actors are doing other than acting on your favorite show. Some actors have other shows you might like, or they make appearances at conventions, which you can watch recordings of. You could also read (or write your own) fan fiction stories about the show.

Question

How can I get interested in another show now that my favorite one has ended?

Community Answer

Look for shows in the same genre. It'll take you a while to get over the empty feeling of leaving the previous show behind, but finding a show that's like the show that ended in some aspects should help. Whether it's drama, comedy, horror, or even a type of anime that you like, just look for shows that fall under the category of the one you watched before.

Question

What if the show's season finale ended with a character being seriously hurt/nearly dying, and I'm scared for the person? The new season is 2 months away.

Community Answer

Shows rarely kill off major characters. They do, however, often end seasons on just such a dramatic cliffhanger to keep watchers talking about the show during its hiatus, maintaining interest and momentum. Think of all the possibilities you can as to how the character might escape death, who might come to the person's aid in time, etc.

There is a cancelled internet show called "Object Redundancy." It is one of my favorite object shows. No one in my life knows about it, and I'm not allowed to have social media. What can I do?

Community Answer

You don't have to share your love for a show with other people. You may express it in private by creating art or writing fanfiction.

Question

How can I stay interested in a show that I love even though my favorite character has died?

Community Answer

When a character dies, they're not lost forever. Some shows, like Lost and Supernatural, had characters so popular that the creators brought them back. You might also find that new or future characters are even more enjoyable than the character you originally loved, and it would be a shame to miss out on those characters.

Question

What are some funny romance animes?

Community Answer

RWBY (red, white, black, yellow) is great if you're looking for something family friendly. You can also try Fruits Basket. Rosario + Vampire is super funny but not appropriate for all ages.

Question

Where can I find some better suggestions for shows to watch?

Community Answer

Take a quiz on what shows to watch based on your preferences. Ask for recommendations from people in social media forums devoted to shows that you enjoy. Use your own Netflix profile, and check out their recommendations based on shows you watch. Or simply type into Google: "shows to watch if I like X" and you'll get plenty of results.

Question

Can I cancel the remaining episodes?

Community Answer

It's not clear what you mean. You can't stop the remaining episodes from being created or released, if that's what you mean. You're free not to watch them. If you're using a service like Netflix or Hulu, you can always cancel it, but you won't get a refund for the current month, your subscription will just be canceled at the end of the current pay period.

Write or read fanfiction about that character. Possible things could be 'Reader x character' or backstory. Talk with others you like the same character as you and share opinions! Go into fan/shipping forums and find people who also feel as you do.

There are many ways available. Rewatch with friends who haven't seen it, read or write fanfiction, talk with people who are also interested in the movie series, etc. Even though a series might end, there are still various ways to stay in the fandom.
