Bring Life with Derek back on YouTube globally

The Issue

For fans of the beloved family sitcom, "Life with Derek," which originally aired on Family Channel in Canada, accessibility has become a pressing issue. Since 2022, WildBrain has taken charge of distributing this cherished series worldwide, making it a beacon of connection for viewers who grew up with the Venturi-MacDonald family. However, the series's availability online doesn't meet the global fans' expectations. Canadian viewers currently enjoy access via the Family Channel's YouTube platform, but this is restricted to Canada's borders.

To truly honor its legacy and cater to its diverse and devoted fanbase, we propose the creation of a dedicated, separate YouTube channel for "Life with Derek" that would be accessible to audiences across the globe. A new, independent channel would not only celebrate the show's impact but also guarantee its worldwide reach, allowing new generations and long-time fans alike to experience its unique charm and humor.

By establishing a standalone YouTube platform, WildBrain can foster a global community centered around this beloved show. This channel could also be a hub for exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage, and interactive fan events, enriching the viewer experience.

Reviving "Life with Derek" on a global platform via YouTube allows it to continue to be a source of joy and nostalgia for fans everywhere. It would revitalize its influence, gaining new followers while rekindling old passions.

Please join us in advocating for the worldwide availability of "Life with Derek" by signing this petition. With your support, we can encourage WildBrain to make this beloved series easily accessible to fans and newcomers around the world, ensuring that the Venturi-MacDonald adventures continue to inspire joy and laughter for years to come. Sign the petition today and let’s bring "Life with Derek" back to the globe!
