This week, actor/executive producer Chris Meloni and co-creator/executive producer Brian Taylor took to twitter to answer questions about the status of Happy! so far. Suffice to say...it was not encouraging:

However, Brian did have these words of enouragement from his 4-part tweet:
"that said, a happy! movie or halloween special @neflix would be fucking bananas 1/4"
"there are no active talks or development of such a thing, and of course no production of any kind is happening in 2020, but you never know how the planets can align. that would be the bug to put in the collective netflix ear."
Perhaps there are some clues here (maybe not this year, but NEXT year?) and don't forget, every day is a new day...
So what do we do? We do what Happy would do; we KEEP going! Now more than ever we need to make our campaign grow stronger and stronger (and especially here on tumblr!)
First things first, everything in our campaign will continue as scheduled (letter campaign #22 is this week, phone and e-mail campaign next week), except now in addition to season 3, we now have to ask for a wrap-up movie (one preferably 2 1/2 hours in length) and use in addition of the hashtag #SaveHappy, we also use #HappyMovie2021.
Second, writing, calling, and e-mailing our contenders isn't enough anymore at this point, we need to aim HIGHER! We're taking the advice of someone who suggested a new routine to our campaign (thank you to that person by the way, you know who your are); every Friday-Sunday starting THIS week on Facebook and twitter, we will private/direct message our contenders (Syfy, Netflix, and Peacock) and tell them to save Happy! either for a 3rd season or a wrap-up movie. Don't hold back how you feel (we understand), but don't go too much.
Third, triple down our cause. People I really need all of you to keep spreading the word of our cause on all social media platforms; Facebook, twitter, tumblr, instagram, etc. so we keep gaining attention and more help to save the cult classic series for more. Even comment in social media posts made by our contenders, let them know how much we want Happy! back even if we have to drive them crazy! Remember, trending topics, especially on twitter, are a big ally to get some hooks on the line so to speak. In addition, please join the other causes online (you'd be amazed just how many are there:

People we really need your support on this because if we don't work together, we may never see a proper conclusion or continuation and we, like you, know we don't want that. A world with no happy ending for Happy! is a world you or I don't want to live in. So please, do your part and spread the word now if not sooner because this show REALLY needs to be saved! Because he's Happy. He deserves it. I'm counting on you, Happy is counting on you. Do it for him, if not me. We got to up the antie people and that time is now! Are you with us?
