I know my famed days on this site have passed, but let me explain to y'all who still don't get it:
people aren't being mad about ofmd getting cancelled, because they want their favourite media to go on forever until it turns shit. people are heartbroken. the show depicted queerness in a genuine and real way that didn't focus on straight people or explaining queerness to a straight audience. it might have been confusing to straight viewers, because not everything was spelled out. a feeling that a lot of queers have growing up with straight media. ofmd was important because it showed queer community and feelings that weren't just a simple romance, similar to how real life queer spaces look. showing kids or people who haven't discovered themselves that queerness isn't a lonely life among straights where you'll never be fully understood is incredibly necessary.
lastly it feels especially malicious to cancel this show because it was popular and dearly loved. it wasn't cancelled because it wasn't profitable (which I still don't think is a valid reason to cancel a show), but because it showed a genuineness that made the mainstream uncomfortable. I don't think shows need to last forever, but the creators have clearly expressed that they had more of the story to tell, and to silence that is truly heartbreaking
as a lesbian I've experienced this heartbreak so many times, since the only queer shows that are allowed to last center themselves around (white) gay men in a non queer environment. (and I am genuinely happy for that, it's a big step for medial representation regardless, yet the accurate depiction of the variety that is queerness and queer community seems to be missing most of the times)
tl;dr: queers are grieving our flag means death for very valid reasons and not just because their favourite show ended. be gentle and understanding.

idk if anyone still uses other socials (twitter, tiktok, etc) but the best thing that we could do for OFMD now is to complain publicly and call out the blatant homophobia from HBO Max. the only thing that matters to these companies are their reputation, dont complain directly TO them, go online and complain ABOUT them, loudly, outlining exactly why its homophobic to censor and then prematurely cancel their incredibly popular queer show. even if there’s no saving ofmd at least it might show companies that when they minimize queer stories, it wont go unnoticed

Consider. We do what we would all do if Good Omens hadn't been renewed. We crowdfund season 3. I think as a fandom if we want it enough, we could totally all pull together and crowdfund it. Just a thought.

I am feeling so many emotions. Ofmd meant so much to me. My queer friends had praised it highly but I still went into with very little expectations of in-depth queer characters and no expectations of a happy ending. Needless to say, I was completely floored. The characters were so rich, and personable, and hilarious, and yes, very gay. It brought me hope that more shows could be like this, and the fact that there were 2 seasons brought me even more hope. But no, it got cancelled. It was one of the most popular shows in recent times, and gathered a fanbase that grew faster than any other I’ve seen. It’s never enough. If good omens didn’t get renewed I’d probably stop watching any tv shows that promise queer representation. So, so disappointed.

All I'm saying is no renewal means we get to choose what happened next...

I'll be honest. I haven't been optimistic about an OFMD season 3 since that interview where Taika said they'd reached a happy ending. I disagree with him - I think Anne and Mary's unhappiness is a bad sign for Ed and Stede notwithstanding everything we know about Ed and Steve that leads me to believe they won't be happy with the inn - but I think Taika either knew or suspected then.

Can't even say I'm surprised to hear OFMD is cancelled. The current CEO of hbo/discovery/CNN is VERY conservative and has been behind decisions pushing CNN rightward.
I think we can expect a lot more decisions like that from him.

OFMD 3 is cancelled? They make a genuinely good show with incredible inclusive characters, no queerbaiting at all, and a loving and lovable fandom and cancel it BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT IN OTHER LANGUAGES LIKE GERMAN, FOR INSTANCE? Maybe you wait until you know your whole audience? Maybe amazon can safe this? I have to say I don't watch a lot of series but this one just catched me and I'm sad.
