This month, it will have been 10 years (one decade) since Craig McCracken made a pitch for Season 3 of Wander Over Yonder, several months before Disney turned it down. While we wait for Craig to finish up whatever he’s been working on since he left Netflix, let’s ask ourselves:
How do we get SaveWOY and other related material back on track in an effort to convince Disney to give WOY proper closure?
How do we renew interest in reviving WOY?
Thanks to a user on a SaveWOY Facebook group, we have the information to explain it all…
Remember that Securing Disney’s approval is just Step 1, but to truly make a Wander Over Yonder revival work, we need Craig McCracken and the original creative team on board. Without them, the show risks losing what made it special in the first place.
STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL WOY REVIVAL
STEP 1: CONVINCE DISNEY TO GREENLIGHT THE PROJECT
• Show Disney that WOY still has a passionate fanbase and potential for success.
• Push for Disney+ as the ideal home, where revivals like The Clone Wars and The Proud Family have thrived.
• Emphasize the unfinished story—Disney knows that fan outcry for closure (Gravity Falls, The Owl House) can influence decisions.
STEP 2: ENSURE CRAIG MCCRACKEN & KEY CREATORS ARE INVOLVED
• Craig McCracken’s Approval is Crucial. WOY is his vision—without him, it wouldn't be the same. His presence ensures consistency in tone, characters, and storytelling.
• Other Key Members Needed - Jack McBrayer (Wander): His voice defines Wander’s character—recasting him would be a mistake.
Andy Bean (Composer): His music shaped WOY’s energy and emotional moments.
Other Writers & Animators: The humor, heart, and art style need the original team’s touch.
STEP 3: CAMPAIGN FOR THEIR RETURN
• If Disney says yes to a revival, the next step is getting Craig and his team excited about returning.
• Make it clear to Disney that a WOY revival must have the original team to succeed.
Getting Disney’s approval is the first major hurdle, but without Craig McCracken and his team, a third season wouldn’t be the same. Fans need to push for WOY’s return with the original creative team intact to preserve its heart and magic!
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR GAINING MORE SUPPORT
1. Clarifying That WOY Wasn’t Meant to End at Season 2 - Some potential supporters might think WOY had a proper ending, so they don’t see the need for a revival.
The campaign needs to spread awareness that Craig McCracken had a full third season planned and that the final episode wasn’t a real conclusion.
2. Attracting Fans of Other Shows That Got Proper Closures - Fans of shows like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, or The Owl House—all of which got finales—might not feel the urgency to fight for WOY unless they understand that it was left unfinished.
Making the case that WOY deserves the same closure as those shows can help gain their support.
3. Using Other Fan Revivals as Inspiration - Campaigns like Young Justice and The Clone Wars proved that strong fan demand can bring back shows, even years later.
Showing that WOY has unfinished business makes the case even stronger—this isn’t just nostalgia, it’s about completing the story.
• Emphasize the Cliffhanger: Social media campaigns should highlight that WOY never got its intended ending.
Posts, videos, and petitions should stress that Season 2 was not a real finale.
• Engage Fans of Other Shows: Get Gravity Falls, Owl House, and Amphibia fans interested by framing WOY as the next show that needs proper closure.
Many of those fans already fought for extended content and could help boost the movement.
• Create Buzz Around Craig’s Original Plan: More people need to know that a fully planned Season 3 existed, but Disney shut it down.
Spreading concept art, old interviews, and Craig’s vision for Lord Dominator’s arc could build more excitement.
The more people understand that WOY wasn’t actually completed, the easier it will be to get broader fan support. The campaign needs to educate people on the cliffhanger and show why a Season 3 or TV movie is necessary to give the series the ending it deserves!
I couldn’t have said it all better myself.
