Want to help #SaveMacGyver? Keep reading!
In case you’ve been living under a rock since April 7th 2021, you’re probably aware that there’s an effort by fans in over 80 countries to #SaveMacGyver after an untimely cancelation by CBS. We want Season 6 on CBS, for CBS to move production to Paramount+ (as they did for Evil and SEAL Team), or for them to sell their half of the MacGyver rights (creator Lee David Zlotoff owns the other half) to another network/streaming service. Saving a show is a huge undertaking, so it doesn’t matter who your fave character is or what you ship - we need YOUR help to get MacGyver back on the air. We will not stop fighting until and unless the cast and/or LDZ tells us to stop. Below you’ll find a comprehensive list of everything you can do, and I’ll do my best to update this post as new action items are added.
