Fans Demand Renewal

Fans on X blasted Amazon Prime, demanded the return of Gen V and urged the cancellation of the planned Vought Rising prequel.

History

Historical Context

When NBC pulled Star Trek after its June 3 1969 finale, fan backlash spurred syndication success and a 1976 Saturday Night Live sketch that lampooned the network’s decision. Decades later, Amazon Prime Video’s 2023 cancellation of Gen V sparked similar online protests, with creator Eric Kripke and fans demanding a revival, echoing the earlier fan-driven resurgence.
