YOU can watch Season 1 and Season 2 of RISE right HERE!
So Iāve seen a a lot of people still wondering if Rise of the TMNT can be saved.
Thereās is a lot of hope, especially with the boom of fans joining the fandom after the movie dropped last year, people making more art on tumblr, twitter, tik tok, and so on. But also a a lot of doubt, especially after JJ Conwayās post on twitter.
BUTā¦I still think there is a chanceā¦a GOOD chance. WITH ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW! Why?
We live in the internet. Information is more then easy to get out now thanks to social media. There is all kinds of ways to get the word out to people. Letās abuse it. š
Fans have brought back shows before.
We need a MAJOR push through social media, more fans, more art, itās up to usā¦and I think we can do it!
Fans convinced Netflix to bring Sense8 back for a finale
Fans convinced fox to bring back āFuturamaā after it was cancelled in 1999.
Hey Arnold got the jungle movie thirteen years after the show was cancelled
Animaniacs got a 3 season revival 22 years after it stopped airing.
Brooklyn 99 was cancelled in 2018, and the fans convinced NBC to pick up the series.
Arrested Development was canceled after 3 seasons, but AFTER it was cancelled, it grew an audience and they made it come back!
Fans saved the original Star Trek in the 60s with letters.
They did it. Why canāt we?
1. PETITIONS TO SAVE RISE that we can all signā¦
PETITION 1 (The strongest one, but the more petitions signed, the better!)
PETITION 4 (save the content that was cut/we missed)
PETITION 5! (Make an ROTTMNT season 3)
2. Pester Nickelodeon and Netflix on social media (THE BIG ONE YāALL, THIS IS THE MOST DIRECT AND IMPORTANT)
Be polite, be non-toxic (donāt be rude or mean, the boys would not want that, and the Nick/Netflix wonāt listen), but be LOUD, PASSIONATE, AND ANNOYING! Ask for DVDs of the show/movie, and then BUY THOSE DVDs!
MAKE SURE TO ASK FOR THE FULL ORIGINAL CAST AND CREW TO COME BACK, INCLUDING ANDY SARIANO AND ANT WARD.
Sample DM/Letter (but try to come up with your own. Too many repeats and they will ignore it)
āDear Nickelodeon/Netflix/Viacom, I canāt tell you how much Rise means to me, and I really love that you put the show on air. But it was not fair that the show was cancelled before it got the chance to reach the audience it deserved, only because of a few bad reviews and a lack of advertising. The show is great, thereās tons of fans, tons of art, and people, including me, want so much more! Please bring it back! We want the original crew to come, Flying Bark, for the show to get itās full second season restored, and itās five season run like it was originally intended. People hated the 2012 TMNT when it came out, but it got itās chance and now there are people that love it. Why canāt Rise of the TMNT have the same? Itās clear that the creators love their work and thereās a growing fan base for it. Rise just came out at the wrong time, but it deserves it chance to shine.ā
The more personal you made the letter, the more you say what Rise means to you, the better.
As for me? Iām sending them a picture of Pizza Pigeon with the #wewantmoreriseoftheTMNT and #saverottmnt
Request movies/seasons on Netflix.
Ask for Rise Season 2, another season, another movie. Just keep asking!
Nickelodeonās facebook page (Look, I know that facebook is a relic at this point, but the more people go there and PESTER Nickelodeon, the better!)
Leave good reviews. Share. Leave TONS of comments

Rugrats was brought back because fans bombarded Nickelodeon with letters saying they wanted it back. Might as well cover our bases. This one is a BIG DEAL!
Nickelodeonās Corporate Number
1-212-846-2543 Call them! Annoy them! Ask how we can get their attention! Tell them why you love this show! Why it deserves to come back.

SPAM NICKELODEONāS EMAILS!
If anyone has any more, any deeper more direct points of contact, or more ideas, please share!
3. Leave good reviews for Rise anywhere and raise awareness everywhere you can!
One of the key reasons Rise did not do too well because it was unfairly review bombed before people could give it a chanceā¦so get out there on tik tok, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and ESPECIALLY youtube.
Make reviews! Analysis! JOKES! Support other content creators! When the Rise Reanimated video comes out, share it like no tomorrow!
No one paid attention when How to Train Your Dragon came out, but word of mouth and people saying it was good, made it the success it was. Letās repeat history!
Anytime there is NEW RISE CONTENT on Nickelodeonās YouTube channel, watch it, share, spread it.
Share this post on social media, across various sites, use the information here to spread awareness about how people can help and what they can do. Be relentless! (Like Leo in Lair Games)
Ask influencers to review, react, and give RISE a chance without placing judgement.
Draw, Write, TWEET, Make MERCH, Sell MERCH, Make Tik Toks, Videos on YouTube, posts on instagram, discord, what pad, demanding more Rise, spreading the word, and just showing how much you love this show! Not only will it attract attention, but itās also good for all of us. There will be more Rise content either way.
Make sure to @ nickelodeon on ALL of your art! SPAM THEM! ANNOY THEM! DROWN THEM IN LOVE FOR THIS SHOW! Demand DVDās and Blue rays of the SHOW AND THE MOVIE! Itās not fair that we canāt have access to it!
If you see official Rise MERCH in the while, buy it if you can! Also support as many rise content creators as you can. If you canāt draw? Write! If you canāt create! Like! Share! Comment! Support each other!
Keep in mindā¦there WILL be pushback.
Companies as big as Nickelodeon and Viacom care about their bottom line: $$$ā¦money. BUT pushback, whether they are taking down your videos on Tik Tok, striking artists on twitter, mean that theyāre taking NOTICE. So donāt. Give. UP!
One last thing to remember: DO NOT harass fans for enjoying other versions of TMNT
Even though Rise is the first and only TMNT I have ever loved, I donāt believe in shaming other fans for looking forward to, or enjoying other TMNT series. Gatekeeping like that was what stopped Rise from (heh) Rising as high as it should have. All Rise fans are welcome, and all TMNT fans are welcome. Rise deserves to reach more fans, it deserves another season, and it does not need to knock down other TMNT series to do it. Show them your love and your need for more Rise, without making other TMNT fans feel unwelcome.
Share, spread the word, give it your best shot! A village can move MOUNTAINS! SO letās do it.
So that in the near futureā¦we can MAKE THIS JOKE!
