‘Into the Badlands’ fans fight for renewal with #SaveTheBadlands campaign
Following the Into the Badlands cancellation, fans of the AMC series are trying to save the show.
It’s always difficult when a show that’s been a staple in your life gets cancelled. Not only is there the profound sense of loss that comes with the idea you won’t be able to watch your favorite characters get up to their usual shenanigans, but if the creators didn’t have a chance to give you a proper ending, it can leave an even more bitter taste in your mouth.
On the upside, as we’ve seen with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Lucifer (plus countless others), the end isn’t always the end. Other networks or streaming services have taken a chance on cancelled shows, sometimes to give them a new permanent home and sometimes to give them the ending they deserve.
That’s what Into the Badlands fans are hoping will happen following the creation of their #SaveTheBadlands campaign. Badlands fan CoolGuyJ has a great breakdown of what fans of the show are hoping to accomplish and what everyone can do to help the movement gain attention, which will hopefully lead to renewal.

Namely, Neilsen ratings for social media and Twitter's internal 'trending' numbers.
#1. As the campaign title states, the keywords that we're looking to focus on and really start trending are the following: #SaveTheBadlands and #IntoTheBadlands.

#2. In your tweet only use #SaveTheBadlands and #IntoTheBadlands. Don't add any other #'s or @ mentions. More than two hashtags or any @'s included in your tweet will flag it as a 'bot' tweet and will not be counted.

- Do not make the same tweet/retweet your own tweet, over and over again. Instead, make new (different) #SaveTheBadlands tweets as often as possible (everyday is good!)
- Just because the episodes are no longer airing, it doesn't mean you should stop tweeting. Keep them going!)

- Number of people tweeting affects the nielsen ratings, and the time and the hashtags used affects the trends.
So, here are hypothetical examples of how to do #SaveTheBadlands tweets:
Example 1) We need more #IntoTheBadlands #SaveTheBadlands
- Short and to the point.

- Using the Widow's season 1 quote for added flare, creativity.

Will there be an ‘Into the Badlands’ season 4?
As of right now, the answer to that question is no. AMC cancelled the show and the network will not air any subsequent episodes after the final eight have been released, starting March 24.
However, that could change if the #SaveTheBadlands campaign is successful. With enough outcry from fans and traction on social media, another network or streaming service could see Into the Badlands as a valuable and profitable addition to their lineup. The show would fit in well on a network like Syfy or on a platform like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon.
While we shouldn’t get our hopes up that Into the Badlands will be saved (even though it does happen, it’s rare to get a renewal), we also shouldn’t stop fighting.
If you’ve seen even one or two episodes of this show, you’ll know how rich the universe is and how incredible the cast and crew are. The cinematography, the costumes, and the fight sequences make Into the Badlands stand out against other series.
Here’s to hoping we can #SaveTheBadlands so everyone can enjoy this show just a little bit longer.

RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 02-21-2019
AMC gave me access to the final 8. It’s a heavily protected platform that watermarks it with my name and email, and very glitchy. I would be 3 eps deep but it kept stalling and glitching so I had to start over. I got to s3e10’s beginning until I just gave up. The exhaustion of this day plus the ample redbreast Irish whiskey (gotta go Irish for Badlands) just caught up to me. I must sleep now. Hopefully I’m sedated enough to not wake & tweak.
So far, it’s all about Danny, the widow & bajie.
Btw, did I mention that Daniel has been emailing me to get together for lunch and an interview? He’s in the area for a few months hiatus. I’ve explained my situation and he says he went through it with his mom a few years ago. Hoping I can catch him soon.
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 02-22-2019
The glitch was trying to watch it on my iPhone and the screen mirroring it to my appletv so I could watch it on the big screen. It’s running smoothly on my chrome book.
Ima gonna binge this now. Badlands is just the medicine I need.
So far, this is bloodier and more deeply colorful, plus more gratuitous slo mo. Still luvin it.

RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 02-22-2019
S3 goes way Dublin with scenes in the long hall and the gaol. There’s also the ultimate widow stilleto fight early up. And then there’s Eugenia - the real daughter of the mighty Chen Pei Pei.
Man, I’m gonna miss this show.
#savethebadlands
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 02-23-2019
Well, that was satisfying and distracting. Heads rolled. Many heads. And there's closure for the major story arcs and a lot of characters. Lethal closure.
Worthy of note - one of the main things that creator Al Gough said would end the Badlands happens at the very end. So maybe it is done in that way.
But the door is still open for a 4th season.
#savethebadlands.
RE: Into the Badlands - cranefly - 03-18-2019
I finished Season 3 last week, two episodes a night over 4 nights.
Yes, a lot of heads rolling.
This is a good-looking cast of characters, helped by their wardrobes. So much ethnic diversity and dress styles. I hope they get to keep their outfits as they head off into other opportunities.
My favorite new character this year was Geiger Counter Girl, which isn't her actual name, but that's how I think of her.
What will become of the stunt teams? That was three years of good work for them, and I doubt they'll see as positive a work environment going forward. Any way to track them for a future article?
Anyway, so it ends, unless resurrected.

The stunt team dissipates, more or less. I imagine the HK crew goes back to HK, but there were really only a few of them because of imported labor issues in Ireland. One of the lead stuntmen, Matt Lucas, is actually here in the East Bay. We've befriended each other and I keep meaning to do some sort of articles with him because he's got it going on. A very talented martial artist, and Daniel's personal trainer. I enjoy watching him get beat up a lot in the Badlands. He's the one that Bajie bitch-slapped with the octopus. He's also on lucky page 99 of the current Shaolin Special issue in a Shaolin ad.
The final 8 episodes start this Sunday & Monday on AMC. I'll tune in, even though I've already seen them.
RE: Into the Badlands - Greg - 03-19-2019
Unless they are the Stunt Co-ordinator, most stunt people are day players and brought in for specific needs or skills. They usually don't get long term contracts. Or if they are one of the stars personal stunt people.
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 03-19-2019
True but Into the Badlands was different. That's partly the point. They did bring a few specialists in for a few episodes and specific stunts, but it was built on a Hong Kong stunt team led by Stephen Fung (you remember him - the dude who snubbed me because he was afraid I'd steal his wife) and Andy Cheng. For the first trip, Daniel invited me to their Sunday Dim Sum, which sort of an HK tradition that the stunt directors brought over for the team.

S3 E9
free access for a limited time on AMC
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 04-08-2019
Actually watching S3E12 on AMC 'live' even though I've seen it already. It's interesting to see it with the ad breaks. It's such a live-action anime. They really ramp up the fights, the costumes and the sets in the final 8 eps. It's so brutal tho, so sanguineous. And the Widow is still so hawt.
4 more eps to go. I'm still hoping to get that final interview with Danny.
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 04-15-2019
S3E13: Black Lotus White Rose
This is the Dublin ep - the gaol, the long room, and an added bonus, the daughter of Cheng Pei Pei, my namesake, the regal Eugenia Yuan.
This ep marked a major change in the series, but it was too late.
Fuck Warrior. That show wouldn’t have even happened without Badlands.
That being said, I’m not sure the Sound of Silence conclusion quite works. It almost does, like the widow in the flaming temple, but it also misses. Maybe it’s the rendition. The 2nd season opener with Human was spot on though.
RE: Into the Badlands - Drunk Monk - 04-19-2019
So I accessed the AMC site to get some fresh pix of Daniel for my upcoming finale interview. I just spent most of it downloading fresh Widow pix.
Man, I'm going to miss the Widow. She should have her own show.
