Hello, Harry Potter And Marauders Fandom - Im Reaching Out To You In A Plea Of Fandom Solidarity! Please
Hello, Harry Potter and Marauders fandom - I’m reaching out to you in a plea of fandom solidarity! Please help us!!!
I’m writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom: our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. Yet another queer, diverse, supernatural show suffers an unfair fate and we’re bloody sick of it! We believe Netflix and Warner Bros. are making a huge mistake!
Could you guys please sign our petition and help spread it by reblogging?
This isn’t just about getting a season 2: we’re trying to get justice for the cast, crew, and writers behind this unapologetically queer show. They had the writers write a season 2 just to cancel the show and, frankly, that’s objectively a slimy thing to do. I believe Dead Boy Detectives is a casualty of its time, that shows cult-clasic, niche shows like Buffy or Supernatural for instance would suffer the same fate today if held to Netflix’s callous and cruel standards and their blatant disregard for creatives.
Lastly, I think if you enjoy Harry Potter, especially the Marauders (and ESPECIALLY Wolfstar, imo), you will enjoy Dead Boy Detectives as well! Please don’t let the cancellation deter you, it really is a phenomenal show that will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. The story is really well-paced and self-contained, so there’s no gigantic cliffhanger to worry about either. This show has so much heart, please help us save our boys who defy heaven and hell with their love! 💜
Thank you in advance to any of you who signed, and a HUGE special thank you to those who stream it! Netflix has gotten far too comfortable nuking shows, especially those with queer themes and diverse leading characters, in their prime. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜
Last thing: I promise this post is not intended to clog the tag in any way and this will be the only post I make in the tag on this subject! I wouldn’t want our fandom to bleed into your space! We’re just desperate for help and there’s so much overlap in our fandoms and shows that it made sense to reach out to you all - I figure the least I can do for the show I love so much is to try. Thank you again 🖤

Check out this site for the best ways to help save Dead Boy Detectives:
And don't forget to sign the petition to save Dead Boy Detectives!
Just some screenshots of some tweets to keep everyone encouraged and motivated.
We really do have a chance. We just have to be persistent and patient.
George Rexstrew deserved so much better than this. He put so much love and care and effort into his role and did a fantastic job. He went above and beyond, took ballet lessons and helped choose his hairstyle and outfit, researched the Edwardian era pretty fucking comprehensively. He has been kind and professional, and his cameo literally raised like $15,000 for charity because he was so kind and generous. I just, idk. I hate that his first screen role got canceled despite what a wonderful job he did. And that Netflix obviously completely misled him into thinking it would come back. It makes me so angry.
I just imagine how Edwin would’ve felt when Charles stayed with him, like he hasn’t had much people in his life he considered close (not shown in the show) and after those decades in hell he’s a bit afraid of people so I think the first days they were together Edwin would sometimes forget there’s someone near him and get scared when he notices Charles.
Like “Oh, you’re still here” but in a relieved way.
Helpful information about Dead Boy Detectives
•Netflix title suggestion website:
It's REALLY easy and quick to use. All you have to do is write "Dead Boy Detectives", "Dead Boy Detectives season 2", "Dead Boy Detectives season 3" and press "send".
•Netflix official feedback website:
•Netflix official chat:
•Calling Netflix:
You can call Netflix on any official account clicking in "help"
•Unhappily Netflix doesn't have an official email*
•Dead Boy Detectives stats website:
It doesn't show the only important data though, Netflix would analyze in other ways too.
•The hashtags:
Dead Boy Detectives had/has a lot of hashtags, but at the moment the the most famous ones are #DeadBoyDetectives and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives . #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives is also being used when commenting specifically about the streams.
Please use at max two hashtags on Twitter. The app decreases the reach of tweets with too many hashtags, you can use as many as you want on Tumblr though. Also, please refrain from creating more hashtags because if it splits then the posts will have more difficulty to trend. Use more of them, everytime you tweet about Dead Boy Detectives, even if you don't think it's important to use, the hashtags have been trending less in the last few days.
•Atracting more fans:
Usually when people see other people speaking angrily about their shows getting canceled, while 100% comprehensible, people tend to ignore. It's easier to attract more fans if you show that the show is cool, even if it's just a marketing strategy.
Netflix receives messages like this all the time and unhappily they ignore it. But people that don't know the show might get interested if they see the trailer, an edit, a synopsis or something similar, remember to use the hashtags ( #DeadBoyDetectives and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives ). It also is a good idea to probably type something else when mentioning DBD on Twitter and Instagram and not just the hashtags, so it won't be read as spam.
By the way, talking about promoting the show, Ali Plumb, a famous interviewer, posted asking about underrated shows recently, it's a opportunity to coment about Dead Boy Detectives, but remember to focus on it and be respectul instead of talking bad about Netflix. The post's link:
•The Petition:
There's a petition for the show currently happening for the show. We already got 11000 signatures, the goal at the moment is 15000 signatures. You can also use multiple accounts to sign but it would be even better if you could share it to other people. Please don't send Netflix or other companies the petition, the creator will send it later when there's enough signatures.
•"Watch party" and top 10:
We are mass streaming and trying to get Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix's top 10. And while not the only important thing, the views are important and really helpful. Currently we're appearing on the "Everyone is watching" category in some countries, but you can see in which place on the ranking Dead Boy Detectives is by looking at the stats website. Kudos go to @/starrygraves, @/intotstars and @/moonkailan on Twitter.
•Rating and reviews:
Rating also helps, you can vote by episode on IMDB and write reviews for the show in both websites. here are the links for voting on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB.

By episode:
•Save Dead Boy Detectives (the account):
It's an tumblr account focused on reviving Dead Boy Detectives, it also has a website (that I'm gonna put below 👇), Instagram and Twitter account, all @/SaveTheDeadBoys. You can find way more information about saving the show such as emails models to send to companies.
•Fucusing on Netflix:
I would recomend foucusing on Netflix for contractual reasons, since it's easier for it to give on on the cancelation than another company buying it. While Netflx doesn't have an official email, people such as the founder and CEOs have. You can also find other* emails on the Save Dead Boy Detectives website. A few of the emails:
→Reed Hastings - Executive Chairman & Founder
reed.hastings@netflix.com
rhastings@netflix.com
→Greg Peters - Co-CEO
gpeters@netflix.com
→Ted Sarandos - Co-CEO
tsarandos@netflix.com
→Warner Bros
discoverycorpcomms@gmail.com
•Letters:
Netflix's mailing addresses are:
"Netflix Inc, 5808, W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028", for the United States and "Netflix Services UK LTD, 30, Berners Street, London, W1T 3LR" for the United Kingdom.
Save Dead Boy Detectives created a plan to send the letters in batches so there can be a constant arrival of letters for weeks. There is also advice for what could help or make worse when sending letters, you can find more here:
Please do not send hate to Netflix, they constantly receive messages like this and will not listen to us. Use the letters to be convincing and show your love to the show.
•Engaging with the articles:
If you engage with the articles more people will write about it. The visualizations and comments is way to demonstrate that people want to see more of it. Here is a list of Dead Boy Detectives articles by @DeadBoysDetect on Twitter:
