If we have an avenue to do it well, we will continue the show.” “In a time when all queer people are personally and politically under attack across the country and [Human Rights Campaign] has declared a ‘state of emergency,’ my biggest fear is that the many queer fans of League will take this reversal as one more invalidation, one more blow, one more effect of the general politization of our identities,” they continued on. “Most of us grew up feeling invisible, and as we gain strength, the predictable backlash forces are trying their hardest to get us to go back underground.” Will then added that he had a lot of hope that the series would be picked up elsewhere. “It’s hard for me to imagine there wouldn’t be a home for a show … that was in the Nielsen top 10 for three weeks, was the top show on Amazon for a month and in the top five for six,” they said. “If we have an avenue to do it well, we will continue the show.

If we don’t find a good path forward, I will still know that League did what it came here to do and, in its own small way, changed the world.” Over the weekend, Abbi called out Prime Video for their reasons of the cancellation.
