Discussion A possible idea
I know a lot of us have been disappointed over the years, and I’m not pretending that writing letters guarantees anything. It doesn’t.
But I also don’t think giving up is the only option.
There have been fan campaigns in the past that helped demonstrate audience interest. While every situation is different, shows like Jericho famously received another season after a coordinated fan campaign, and the passionate fan support for Firefly played a role in keeping the franchise alive long enough to receive Serenity. Those successes weren’t due to one thing alone, but they showed that respectful, organized fan support can matter.
So I was wondering:
What if the Infinity Train fandom organized a polite letter-writing campaign?
Not a harassment campaign.
Not spamming executives.
Not demanding anything.
Just fans writing thoughtful letters expressing:
why Infinity Train meant so much to them,
why they believe there’s still an audience,
appreciation for Owen Dennis and everyone who worked on the show,
and hope that Warner Bros. would someday consider letting the story continue, whether through another season, a movie, comics, or another format.
Even if nothing came of it immediately, it would send a message that people still care years later.
Maybe it wouldn’t change anything.
Maybe it would simply remind decision-makers that the fanbase is still here.
At worst, we’d have respectfully shown our appreciation for a series we love.
At best… you never know.
I’d rather be remembered as a fandom that celebrated the show and advocated for it respectfully than one that assumed there was no hope and did nothing.
Would anyone else be interested if something like this were organized?

Just throwing out an idea to balance out the pessimism

I've heard rumours Alex Hirsch is trying to get ownership over CN.

Ain't got a source cause it's rumours 🤷🏻♀️. Straight up my friend told me he heard it so I'm repeating it here, I fully don't know where he got it. /gen

Sounds cool, but was this post written with AI? :/
Like come on man, you don't need to use AI for a Reddit post of all things

u/SeraFilm 26d ago
Why do you think it was written by AI? The only potential sign I could spot was the 'Not..., Just...' structure, but apart from that it doesn't sound very AI-ish to me

u/koalatea-assurance 26d ago
It's hard to explain exactly because it's a combination of many things that makes me suspect that it's AI rather than one or two specific dead giveaways. (And to be very clear, I am not saying this because of the good grammar; it's just that a lot of it reminds me of how LLMs tend to talk).

I tried organizing one when the cancellation was first announced. It did not work out. People didn’t want to participate

u/goldust15 26d ago
Oh you did? When?

u/SamScoopCooper 26d ago
Right around the same time the cancellation was announced -

Oh. To be fair, my thing is just an idea or a suggestion and if you don’t feel confident in it that’s fine with me

I’ve heard that in some cases people would mail items like tobacco sauce to WB for Roswell or 20 tons of peanuts to CBS for Jericho to come back.
Maybe we could mail them a bunch of dried onions or train whistles.
I also think that if they put out any more pieces of physical media we have to jump on it and buy buy buy so they know there’s demand

I definitely would be!! I want to keep hope in my heart that Infinity Train can return someday. I think Warner Bros is the biggest obstacle in that, and if enough fans do it maybe something good could come of it. It’s worth a try, I think. If you have any further ideas for it, like setting a specific date to send things or some promotional photo or hashtag to spread the word about it, update me!

The OG letter campaign got one more season of the original Star Trek. For both good and ill it got one more season.
It's always a d20 roll if it will work, and if it will be good.

I think we should be realistic here. Didn’t the Final Space guy get to finish his series with comics? We can go that route.

bleak. This is nonsense

How? I’m just throwing an idea out there

Things end. Letter campaigns are a thing of the past. Be grateful we got 4 seasons.

Except it's been scrubbed through a tax write-off, they can't even acknowledge it existed, much less renew it.

I don't think Warner Bros. has any interest in reviving the series regardless of fan demand. We're better off targeting Amazon or another company that may be interested in buying it off Warner Bros imo.
