Disney needs to reconsider canceling “The Owl House”!

The Issue

The Owl House, a Disney animated series which received heaps of praise for positive LGBTQ+ representation, was unfortunately cancelled before it really took off. Its second season hasn't even finished airing and it was announced that season 3 would wrap up the show across three specials rather than 20 episodes.

The show follows a girl who falls through a portal to a world full of witches and demons while on her way to summer camp. As dangerous as her new environment is, it's probably less scary than summer camp.

There are many fans who would love to have the show continue and believe it was shortened and cancelled way before it had the chance to show how big it could be. We love the recognition of the LGBTQ+ community and how many fans can relate to so many characters, not to mention the Hispanic background of Luz is great! We believe with the show continuing it can help so many young people watching know that it’s ok to be who they want to be and who they ARE.

The creator, Dana Terrace, states the reason wasn't necessarily because of the budget or the ratings either, although she did explain that she wasn't given the option of a fourth season post-pandemic and the decision was made before the show came to Disney+ in the US or went into reruns on US Disney Channel.

"They just wanted to be done with TOH and this was the perfect chance to do that. Even getting the consolation season 3 episodes was difficult, apparently. Hard to say, I wasn't allowed to be a part of any conversations until I was just... Told. Wasn't even allowed to present my case," she continued.

Terrace went on to say that she felt the differences that made the show unique and its slightly older audience meant it "didn't fit that brand" and so that's why the show was cut.

Please help us show Disney that the show is worth continuing and keep going with production of it. Hopefully if they see enough people want it to continue then they’ll reconsider their decision.
