They actually listened and confirmed the show is coming back for more which feels like a total fever dream honestly. I am sitting here staring at my screen because it still feels surreal that we forced them to pay attention to these stories and characters. Keep your eyes peeled for …

As of recent events and as of the fact that the fandom of BBC3’s award-winning show “In the Flesh” are still awaiting a decision regarding the future of their beloved show, the fans have decided to take a stand.


Over the past year the fanbase has-not least because of the internet and social networks-grown in tremendous ways. We believe that the huge number of fans who want to get actively involved and have participated in countless campaigns to save their beloved show would result in amazingly high audience shares and ratings.


“In the Flesh” is not just “another zombie show” for its viewers, but the representation of minorities, various sexual orientations and the facing of questions regarding mental health/illnesses and addiction make the show an important and extraordinary TV series. It is not just “entertainment” for the fans but makes them feel understood and affects and helps them personally.


To prove how important and needed this show is for its fans, we have decided to start this collection of signatures. Every signature represents one individual human being, not just a “fan”, but a person with a life and history, who want to show the BBC how much they care about their show.


This is not per-se a petition to save “In the Flesh”, because such a petition already exists (at: https://www.change.org/p/bbc-three-give-in-the-flesh-a-third-season).


This is much more a wakening call to the BBC, the BBC3 and the BBC trust, to show them how many peoples’ lifes they would affect if cancelling the show, and how many people’s lifes they do currently affect by not talking with the fans, not answering their questions and letting them wait for a decision for months, almost a year.


The “petition part” of this petition? Talk to us BBC, don’t ignore us, don’t let us wait for months without a single bit of news. Answer our questions.


Warm regards,

The “In the flesh” fandom.

I was just reading through some of the newer comments again and it honestly hits me so hard how much this story really means to everyone. I have been drafting a long letter to the network brass because I am tired of waiting for some kind of acknowledgement that we even exist out here. It feels like shouting into the void sometimes but then I see the notifications popping up and I remember exactly why we are refusing to drop this.

I was looking at the screen and just realized how far this has moved and honestly I am shaking a bit because I never thought so many people would care this much about Kieren and the show. It feels like the momentum has taken on a life of its own now and that is really special to see given how much this series helps all of us.

IN the Flesh is important to me because of the way it explores minorities and mental health, both of which are very personal to me.

In The Flesh has been a big hit for you, so please bring it back! People care so much more about it than a stupid zombie-theme gamed show!

The representation of people who aren't straight in a show is probably the most important thing to me. I love this show and Kieren is probably saving my life right now.

Talk to us - you can't say you won't make a decision about ITF because there's a lot of uncertainty in the continuation of BBC3 THEN make a different zombie show. That's hardly fair.
