Stitchers" is a science fiction crime drama series on Freeform. "Stitchers" features strong characters, witty dialogue, science, mystery, tons of chemistry, and friendships as presented in a previous article. This article is dedicated to the efforts that "Stitchers" fans have done in order to get the show renewed for a third season. The second started on March 22, 2016 and the season finale aired on May 24, 2016. Despite the season ending more than three months ago, "Stitchers" fans refuse to give up. We are using our voices to show why we love "Stitchers" and why we want a third season.
1. Fan created petition
"Stitchers" fan Alyssa Lemke created a petition with the goal of showing Freeform that fans want "Stitchers to be renewed for a third season.

3. YouTube Videos
Fans have spent endless hours creating videos of "Stitchers" and have shared them on YouTube for the world to see.

"You're the detective, detect."
I know I put so many videos but they're all just so awesome and I couldn't decide... I still can't. There are so many amazing videos, way more than I have space to put here. I definitely recommend taking time to check all the videos out, I promise you won't regret it!! There are some SERIOUSLY talented fans out there!
4. Posting non-stop despite the show not being on
At any given time on any given day, the #Stitchers and #RenewStitchers3 tags on Twitter never fail to be active. Don't believe me? Check out the #RenewStitchers3 tag and the #Stitchers tag for yourself! The season finale was more than THREE months ago and yet fans are still active all the time. I personally think that says a lot about our dedication and passion for the show, don't you?
5. Voting in polls
On August 31, 2016, a new poll was released by RENEWCANCELTV. The purpose of this site is to provide daily polls based on which shows will get cancelled or not. These polls give fans a chance to save ONE show over the other. This particular poll gives fans the option to save just one show: "Stitchers" or "Dead Of Summer". At the current moment, 497 people have voted to save one of the shows and "Stitchers" has 93% of the votes! Go us! Please continue to vote for "Stitchers" and to share the poll with as many people as possible.
P.S. "Stitchers" was nominated for Choice Breakout TV Show at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards thanks to fans. Emma Ishta aka Kirsten Clark was also nominated for Choice TV Breakout Star! Fans nominate their favorite shows for the award and we got it in! We may not have won, but it's a pretty big deal just to be nominated! "Stitchers" was nominated alongside shows like "Lucifer" and "Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments," which have larger fanbases than "Stitchers." Fans worked really hard to get "Stitchers" nominated and it's not something that should be overlooked!
6. Writing articles and blogs
As I mentioned in the introduction, I wrote a "Stitchers" article a couple weeks ago all about why "Stitchers" is a show that is worth checking out. If you're interested, you can find it here. Of course I'm not the only "Stitchers" fan who has written articles! This article is about thoughts from the season 2 finale episode. People have even created blogs dedicated to the show! Check this blog out for all things "Stitchers" related! This fan is always pushing towards renewing "Stitchers" and has dedicated much of her Tumblr blog to "Stitchers". Talk Nerdy With Us is another great source of "Stitchers" articles!
7. Never-ending dedication
The biggest and most dedicated fan of "Stitchers" has to be Jeff Schechteraka the executive producer. Honestly, I'm not sure he ever sleeps. Every single time someone posts about "Stitchers" on Twitter, he retweets them to further spread the word. All day, every day. SERIOUSLY.
"Stitchers" fans refuse to give up without a fight. We want a season 3 and we are not afraid to stand up for our favorite show. We want a chance to know more about the characters and the story-line, but we also want closure from those cliffhangers we were left with. So Freeform, will you finally give us what we want and renew "Stitchers" for a third season?! "Stitchers" fans are dedicated to this show that is unique and unlike any other show on the network. PLEASE (pretty please with a cherry on top!) GIVE US A THIRD SEASON!
