"First Kill," a supernatural Romeo and Juliet love story, premiered on Netflix on June 10, 2022, to widespread acclaim. The series follows the forbidden love between the daughters of a vampire family and a family of monster hunters. Despite its initial success and a strong fan following, Netflix surprisingly canceled the show just seven weeks after its premiere, citing failure to meet required completion numbers.
The cancellation news shocked fans worldwide, who had embraced the show with enthusiasm and passion. In its first month, "First Kill" ranked #3 globally and accumulated 100 million viewing hours within its first 28 days of release. The series also received a remarkable 90% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. These numbers demonstrate the demand and support for a second season.
However, even a year after its initial release, the passionate fans of the hit show "First Kill" are continuing their relentless efforts to bring the series back onscreen. The #SaveFirstKill campaign, created entirely by dedicated fans, remains committed to ensuring the revival of the beloved show, whether through Netflix or another network.
Since the cancellation, fans have rallied under the #SaveFirstKill banner, utilizing various campaigns and initiatives to raise awareness and advocate for the show's revival. The campaign has generated significant buzz on all social media platforms, where daily discussions about the show and its impact occur.
The campaign has organized several noteworthy events to engage the fan community and demonstrate their dedication. These events include the "Dear Ted" campaign, which aimed to engage Netflix's CEO, Ted Sarandos, in dialogue about saving "First Kill." "First Kill Friday” brings fans together on Twitter Spaces to live-tweet show episodes, helping foster a sense of community and solidarity.
Additionally, the campaign made a strong presence during their visit to ClexaCon, an LGBTQIA+ convention, with a dedicated #SaveFirstKill banner and booth, further underscoring the show's significance in promoting diversity and inclusion.
One of the campaign’s standout efforts was their "Tudum Takeover,” held on September 24, 2022, to celebrate the unique qualities of "First Kill" and raise awareness about its cancellation. Furthermore, the campaign has secured prominent billboards in Times Square, New York City, which served as an appreciation to the show's cast and crew for their impactful work, and another one in Los Angeles, California, right across the street from Netflix’s headquarters.
The campaign also launched their "SFK Fan Video Project" entitled "Killer Insights," which features worldwide fan testimonials. These videos highlight the show's groundbreaking representation and profound impact on viewers' lives and can be located on their YouTube channel.
This campaign has connected fans globally, and in March of this year, they announced their latest initiative: a blood drive. The show's focus on blood, along with its LGBTQ+ storyline, inspired the campaign to honor the history of solidarity and unite in saving "First Kill" while contributing to a more significant cause.
The growing number of "First Killers" remain passionate and committed to ensuring the show's return. Supporters are encouraged to sign the petition and spread the word on social media platforms to demonstrate the overwhelming demand for a second season. The fans believe that the show's representation of queer characters, African American families, and strong women is essential and deserving of continued support.
