#renew 1899

[random-selenophile]

1899 premiered on Netflix one year ago today and even though I’m still completely utterly devastated over the unrightfull cancellation I’m just so thankful this show got to exist in the first place. I’m so thankful that it got what it got even though it deserves more🥲

And I truly can’t recommend it enough! 1899 is captivating and thought provoking, with a plot that runs so deep and characters that are far more than what you see on the surface. It truly truly is worth the watch and will keep you guessing till the very end (and beyond because yk Netflix is shit)

So please if you haven’t yet GIVE IT A WATCH! You won’t regret it

#SAVE1899 #SAVE1899

Season 1 was only the beginning. We know Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese had more up their sleeves, knowing Dark. We were robbed! BUT we can fight. Hope is not lost! Remember that thanks to the #SaveDaredevil campaign, that show was revived. A lot of shows got saved because of fans fighting back. And we can do the same with 1899. - What is lost, will be found.

Don't forget to share and spread the word! What you can do:

• Binge watch the show!! Even if it's just background noise, pump up those viewing hours and ratings!

• Go to IMDb, RottenTomatoes, Google and all that kind of stuff and search/rate 1899. Making it the most searched and good rated series also sends a message!

• You can fill in requests for movies and series which you would like the see, at the Netflix Helpcenter on their website. Underneath Quick Links. Fill in "1899".

• Sign these petitions

• The hashtags for socialmedia (especially Twitter)

Bold of you to assume that I’ll stop making fandom content for 1899 just because the chance of renewal is getting smaller and smaller

how about we just pretend that n*tflix hasn't cancelled 1899?

season two filming is starting next week. i saw the cast moving back to Berlin. Lucas and Miguel are sharing an apartment and inviting the others for silly dinners where they play chess. Andreas is mentally preparing for the most heartbreaking loving teary eyed look in the cinematic history.

the world is at peace once again.

Bro I just want 1899 to be completed I’m still upset about that tragedy hate Netflix for canceling it

[debbymo]

Their story deserves to be told 😭😭😔😔

[silvrsouls]

cancelling 1899 should be a federal crime. i’m so beyond pissed i could blow up the sun w sheer rage. me and aneurin could do it with the power of hatred and solidarity

[spectraling]

I was so excited to go on this journey with Bo and Jantje. I didn't watch Dark until April last year, so I missed out on the journey the fans went on exploring this universe. I was looking forward to so many things: the development and evolution of their narrative, going back and looking at previous seasons to see just how beautifully it all falls together, the excitement and build-up for coming seasons, the crazy theorisizng alongside the devotional shipping and love for the characters, seeing the cast and crew getting to do things they absolutely loved and feeling the support, both from creator to fan and fan to creator. I wanted to see the community flourish and grow and so many fan creations to be made, for people to turn every little stone to try and see where it was going. I wanted to see it end on a high note, with dignity and with a sense of accomplishment.

I won't get that. And that really hurts. Before we got into this mess I was even worried that I wouldn't become as engrossed as I did with Dark, but here I am. And I hate that I got so enamoured with everything and everyone because now I have to deal with the pain of losing it. But at least that means I really cared. I really, truly loved this show, it's creators and fans and that's also beautiful.

If you haven't yet, please sign the petition that was made. If anything we can show these people that we cared and that this hurt a lot. ❤💔

Couldn’t choose just one, so here’s four 1899 memes in the B99 template

Praying to the Gods above that 1899 gets saved. Death can’t be the last memory Ling Yi has of Olek. Let them wake up so they can see each other again 😭

LET'S DO IT: Send your letters to Netflix on FRIDAY 13th. Details below.

Shared (with permission) from https://www.reddit.com/r/1899/

What?

Send physical letters to Netflix. I saw the idea in this post and its comments. Time to do it, isn't it?

[If I have missed an initiative that is already trying to put this into action, let me know below.]

Why?

More tangible than a petition (even though I also love the latter). Ideally, it could be picked up by some media outlets. Highly symbolic, a perfect fit for 1899. It shows we are a committed fanbase that is willing to go to great lengths to renew the show and ultimately recruit new viewers/advertise the show.

As individuals, it will take us only a couple of minutes to prepare. As a group, it could have a nice impact.

When?

Let's aim to get them in the mail on Friday, January 13th, wherever you are. This will mean that many will arrive at the same time, while others will flood in later in waves.

Some people mentioned that this is too soon. I understand, but I assume that many people will manage. I think it is important to keep the momentum up and do it fairly soon. So try to do it on Friday, but obviously it's also perfectly fine if you do it at a later time.

How?

I'll categorise this into subpoints as it has many facets.

Send to?

Most people in the comment seemed to consider the US headquarters the best target. Makes sense.

If you can do so, please send it to:

Netflix Corporate Headquarters 100 Winchester Circle, Los Gatos, CA 95032 United States

If this is not feasible for you (too expensive, ...), consider sending it to

Netflix Services Germany GmbH, Friedrichstraße 88 10117, Berlin Germany

How to design the letter?

I think it should be as simple as possible while being immediately recognisable. It would make sense to have one common element, while individually one may add to the content of the letter.

My suggestion for the element common to all letters: Write...

"What is lost, must be found" [so they look similar to how they are in the series; "must" to connect it to the renewal request] and

"#save1899"

... on the outside (backside) of the letter.

Make it positive: Hating Netflix won't bring us far. No hate, just show your affection for the series and creators.

To lower the barriers for those who wouldn't know what to write:

just focus on the envelope. The slogans above could be enough. Regarding the content: Maybe someone can post a template (containing 3 sentences or so that everyone can write)?

someone in the comments suggested this: "Dear Netflix, 1899 has the potential to be one of your staples and an exemplary display of creativity in storytelling and visual arts. Baran Bo Odar and Jantje Friese have already proven their ability to accomplish a fantastic show with Dark. Please reconsider your decision to cancel 1899, and give it another chance! #renew1899 #save1899 "

Contact media outlets

Media coverage would be beneficial. To achieve that, we should contact some media outlets that have covered 1899's cancellation already. This would be a heads-up in the sense: There's something coming, please watch out and maybe write an article. Some of them were:

Variety

NME

Hollywood Reporter

Deadline

CNET

Daily Mail

Collider

Vulture

Inverse

....

What to do next?

Spread the word (friends, other social media platforms); prepare

Help me:

if you have time, look up addresses (or think about where to send it)

I'll edit the post to add your research from time to time.

make suggestions for the design

remember though that it should be easy enough to implement for everyone - that's why I think a simple common element on the outside is good, while you can put whatever 1899-related you want on the inside

lookup media outlets and contact them (let others know in the comments); tell them that they may watch out for this and cover the story

Anything to add to this post??

Moderators: Should this post be supported by many people, could you pin it until Friday?

On Friday 13th: SEND!

Send as many as you feel comfortable with.

Show of hands, who’s with me on this?
