Can a fandom save a cancelled TV Show?

Amazon cancelled a new Stargate series just weeks before filming was due to begin, reportedly because executives feared it would appeal too much to existing Stargate fans. But fandoms have changed the fate of cancelled TV shows before. From Star Trek and Veronica Mars to The Expanse, organised fans have repeatedly proved that a passionate audience can sometimes become impossible for studios to ignore. In this video essay, we look at the history of successful fan campaigns, why The Expanse became the blueprint for #SaveStargate, what Amazon actually cancelled, and whether the current campaign has a realistic chance of bringing Martin Gero's Stargate series back from the dead.
