That rarest of all television phenomena. A show that has been condemned to the fiery pits of cancellation is resurrected by the same executives who sought to destroy it... or different executives who want to right the wrongs of the previous ones.
Most times, this means a show is picked up by a cable channel or other network and put back into production. Very rarely, a show will be resurrected by the same network.
The biggest causes are either a campaign by fans (along with a compliant creator), or high sales in other media, such as DVD. If the show is not popular enough to warrant a whole new series but an ending is in demand by fans, then a TV movie, miniseries or new season may be ordered to Wrap It Up.
More common is creating a Revival or Series Franchise.
If the show got enough advance notice of its cancellation to have a Grand Finale, being Un-Canceled transforms it into a Series Fauxnale, followed by a Post-Script Season.
If an arc is what's un-canceled instead of a whole show, that's Plot Archaeology.
If a show is not actually canceled, but comes close before a last-minute renewal or a marginal decision to renew, that goes on Only Barely Renewed.
But if the show only got revived only for the ratings and most of the cast is not in the show, or there's too much change in budget and qualities, the revived show could go to a case of Seasonal Rot. If the show revival is made because the creators do care for the show, it can be better than the show in its pre-revival.

Adventure Time's staff got the memo that they were working on the final season in the middle of said season's production, forcing them to scrap many of the story plans they'd made under the assumption they'd get an least one more season order. Things were quickly wrapped up in a one-hour Grand Finale, but the development of the HBO Max streaming service and the need for various production arms of the then newly-formed WarnerMedia to create original content for it resulted in Cartoon Network greenlighting the Distant Lands miniseries just a month after the show ended.

Pyramid:
In 1973, CBS canceled the first of the series, The $10,000 Pyramid, after a season. Six weeks later it was snapped up by ABC, where it ran for six years.
CBS canceled The $25,000 Pyramid in December 1987 and replaced it with a game show called Blackout. When that show tanked, $25,000 came back from April to July 1988 but only as a stop-gap measure until the revival of Family Feud was ready.

Noddy's Toyland Adventures initally ended with the 39th episode "Noddy The Dancer" note  a Christmas Episode aired the day after that one, though it wasn't counted as part of the inital lineup. However, the show was uncancelled five years later after the popularity of The Noddy Shop, which aired the shorts from this series in the United States, causing thirteen new episodes to be produced specifically for the second season of the show. But even that wasn't enough to fufill the demand, as there were 25 episodes in Noddy Shop's second season, resulting in 11 earlier Toyland Adventures episodes being reused and one episode to not feature such a segment.

The Jetsons and Jonny Quest, two Hanna-Barbera shows that ran for one season each in the 1960s, were both revived with new episodes produced for syndication in the 1980s. Boomerang did not show these episodes as often; the consensus is that they are of much lower quality than the original runs. On the other hand, at least in the case of the Jetsons, the original voice cast reunited for the syndicated episodes.
H-B did the same with Yogi Bear in 1988, using the background music from the original 1961 shorts and introducing a new character, Ranger Rubideux.

After Samurai Jack ended its run on Cartoon Network in 2004, creator Genndy Tartakovsky spent the next decade trying to get a theatrical Finale Movie produced in-between other projects. Nothing worked out, but its continued popularity after all that time meant he was successfully able to pitch a fifth and final season for CN's late-night sibling channel [adult swim], which aired in 2017.

X-Men, the comic book series, was canceled after seven years of horrible sales and no popularity (it was revived nine months later, but only published reprints of earlier issues). It was basically seen as a poor-man's version of the Fantastic Four. Then it was rebooted with all new characters like Nightcrawler, Storm, and Colossus, along with minor Hulk villain Wolverine. Under the skilled writing of Chris Claremont, it became Marvel's flagship title throughout the '80s and '90s.

George of the Jungle (2007) originally ran for a single season that ended in 2008, but in 2015, Teletoon suddenly commissioned a second season. Due to the rights to the show having changed between seasons however, this new season retooled the show significantly and was produced by a completely different studios with none of the cast and crew for Season 1 returning.

The series got four made-for-DVD movies years after its original Fox run was over, thanks to the impressive ratings the reruns pulled in on Adult Swim. These movies were successful enough for Comedy Central to pick up the series, with the show lasting four years on the network. This appeared to be the end of things, outside the odd The Simpsons crossover or audio play, but then the show managed to nab a third run of episodes a decade later by way of Hulu.

The possibility of a new Marvel vs. Capcom being made was considered nil because Capcom no longer had the license to make the games. Then in 2009 they got a deal to re-release Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for download (minus the in-game shop, instead having everything unlocked at the outset, which was completely missing the point) and, about a year later, they announced Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The Devil's heating bill must've been off the charts.

Mega Man (Classic):
The last numbered installment without a significant Sequel Gap was Mega Man 8 (which came out in 1996/1997). Not counting Mega Man & Bass (a 2003 Game Boy Advance port of a 1998 Japan-only Super Famicom and WonderSwan game), it took over a decade for Keiji Inafune to bring a ninth entry to the series, which was presented as an homage to the golden days of gaming. It was followed two years later in 2010 by 10.
After 10, the series died again, with all games in the works being shut down. Cue massive shocks all over after it was uncancelled a second time in 2018, with Mega Man 11.

Omega Men was originally given a 12-issue commitment, only to be canceled after 7 due to low initial sales. However, a combination of fan support on social media, critical acclaim, and Tom King's rising profile has convinced DC to restore its 12-issue run, with the door open for additional issues.

Manhunter was originally slated to be canceled after issue #25, but fan demand convinced DC to continue for 5 more issues. After those five, it was canceled again until fan demand convinced DC to give Manhunter another chance. Then it became a backup Feature for Batman Streets of Gotham. The backup feature was cancelled after only a year.

Community, a series that spent its life constantly on the bubble, was finally cancelled by NBC after its fifth season. However, at the eleventh hour, literally on the final day the cast's contracts were due to expire, Yahoo! Screen picked up the show for a sixth season, which premiered online in 2015, fulfilling the series' ''SixSeasons'' part of WordOfGod's SixSeasonsAndAMovie hashtag.

Sledge Hammer! was canceled after the 1st season, only to be renewed for a second season after the last episode got higher than expected ratings, which created something of a dilemma for the writers. Expecting to be cancelled after the first season, the season finale featured Los Angeles as well as the titular character being vaporized by an nuclear bomb. They got around this by claiming at the start of the second season that the first-season finale was five years in the future, giving themselves room to run the series for another five seasons. Naturally, the show was canceled soon thereafter.

Arrested Development was canceled in 2006 after three seasons, ending on a massive cliffhanger. For the next few years a movie was reported to be in development but never came to pass, though Netflix picked up the series for a fourth season which debuted in 2013. A fifth season aired in 2018 and 2019. No news about a sixth season has come up, however, with the cast being a little too busy, Portia di Rossi's retirement from acting, Jessica Walter's passing and Jeffrey Tambor's misconduct allegations, it seems very unlikely.

A&E suspended Dog the Bounty Hunter several times due to incidents involving the Chapmans, but always mad it back on the air with new seasons due to fan outcry and closed-door negotiations. It finally ended its run in 2012, though CMT then picked up a new version for 2013 in which Dog travels around fixing up failing bail bond agencies in a style similar to Kitchen Nightmares.

King of the Hill was going to be cancelled after Season 11. That season's finale, "Lucky's Wedding Suit" was explicitly written as a series finale with cameos by various recurring characters. However, fan outcry led Fox to renew it at the last second, and the show ran for another two seasons. As of 2023, it's announced the show will be back again this time on Hulu.

The Game (2006), after two years worth of outcry and a move to BET. It's proven to be one of the most successful examples of this trope. Not only did the show's re-runs on BET get better ratings than the CW's first airings, the season 4 premier got 7.7 million viewers, which was a first for a serialized drama/comedy on cable. All the more impressive, considering what network The Game came from (CW) and where it went (BET).

FOX cancelled Brooklyn Nine-Nine after five seasons, then got revived by NBC near-immediately. The show was cancelled on May 10, 2018 to massive fan outcry, including many celebrities with no affiliation with the show such as Lin-Manuel Miranda, Guillermo Del Toro, Michael McKean, and Mark Hamill. After Netflix and Hulu turned the show down, NBC (the network that produces Brooklyn Nine-Nine and that aired all the other shows created by Mike Schur at the time) announced the day after that it had picked up the show for a sixth season.

In a rare video game example, see Golden Sun. Originally one game split in two (released in 2001 and 2003, respectively) due to length, it received acclaim and developed quite the following, and even though the second game technically wrapped the story up, many believed there was enough loose threads to make a sequel. According to Word of God, the first two games were just the prologue, and Dark Dawn starts the series proper.

CNN had the show Crossfire, which was a "nuanced debate show" where two politically opposed pundits would sit apart from a guest and argue with them. After The Daily Show host Jon Stewart made an appearance on the show, the show received criticism for it's concept, and the show would be canceled within weeks. It would be revived in late 2013, however the revival didn't take off, and the show was cancelled again less than a year later.

The Twilight Zone (1959) was initially canceled after its third season. The show meant to replace it in the CBS lineup didn't last, and the show was brought back for a shorter season of hour-long episodes. Rod Serling had taken a college teaching position by this time, which is why he doesn't appear on the same set as the actors during season four. Ratings were good enough to justify a fifth season, which brought the running time back to half an hour.

Liaden Universe: The first three books of the Liaden series did not sell well enough for the original publisher to want to commission sequels. Disappointed, the authors got day jobs and went on with their lives for the next several years while, unbeknownst to them, a significant Liad fandom was growing on the Internet (to the point where "When will the next Liaden book come out?" was a question in the SF fandom newsgroup's FAQ). When the Internet arrived in Lee & Miller's neck of Maine, they were startled to find that not only were fans clamoring for the next book, but the title of it, Plan B, had already been decided for them. With this fandom behind them, Lee & Miller were able to find a publisher to continue the series, and cranked out seven more books (as well as two collections of the short stories they continue to self-publish in chapbook form every year). Then the series was uncanceled again when Baen picked it up after that other publisher, Meisha Merlin, went out of business. Four more books were added to the series (though two of them had already been written as fan-funded draft manuscripts), then other sequels and prequels were contracted. To the fans' delight, the series now shows no signs of stopping.

A Kind of Magic originally ran from 2006 to 2009 with one season, and then presumably ended. A second season was suddenly announced, but it was postponed for the longest time until February 2018, when the show came back with 52 episodes (which the first season only had half of). There doesn't seem to be any sign of a third season, possibly leading to the show's re-cancellation.

The Price Is Right with Bill Cullen was doing fine until the sponsors played around with its NBC nighttime time periods, at which case ratings eroded. NBC wanted a new sitcom, Harry's Girls because it skewed younger than Price did, so Price was on the chopping block. ABC stepped in and popped more for Price than NBC was willing, so the game lived on from a new network.

Largely unaware to western audiences, the Glory of Heracles series was popular in Japan, with its fourth game last made in 1994. The series then gained a 5th chapter in 2008 (2010 to western markets, and also the only one localized outside of Japan). One advantage of the series is that the games are largely self-contained, with minimal continuity spanning the various games.

In 1999, Red Dwarf ended on a cliffhanger. Co-creator and head writer Doug Naylor attempted for some time to get a movie off the ground, but in 2001 approached the BBC about to make a new series and the BBC replied with the comment "we are no longer interested in the audience Red Dwarf used to provide". The show eventually returned on cable channel Dave in 2009 with a 3-part adventure and was a massive ratings success for the channel, even beating the original channel that Red Dwarf used to air on in the rating (BBC2), a bout of hilarious irony on the BBC. Three additional series and a television special have aired since then.

The producers of American Dad! announced that the show would end after its tenth season so FOX could renovate its Sunday night line-up. TBS, which had recently gained the show through a syndication deal, decided to renew the show for a twelth seasonnote there's a brief three-episode season eleven that aired on Fox as part of an odd transitional period, that has since been considered as part of TBS run, and it has stayed on TBS since.

Rescue Heroes aired for one season on CBS then was unceremoniously canceled when CBS opted not to renew their programming deal with studio Nelvana. It was much more successful on Teletoon, the show's Canadian channel (and technically the home network for the series), and Teletoon wanted another season. Kids' WB! picked the series up a year later for two more seasons, and gave the show major changes, such as delving into Darker and Edgier situations and some character redesigns.

The Nostalgia Critic was retired in September 2012, after both a final episode and a Fully Absorbed Finale in To Boldly Flee, as his actor thought the character had ran its course. In January 2013, his return was announced with "The Review Must Go On", with the catalyst being The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The episode announced a few changes to the show's format by way of him and the Nostalgia Critic character negotiating with each other; namely, that the show would no longer be beholden to a strict weekly schedule and that there was no longer a "cutoff date" for what the Critic could discuss (as he previously only reviewed material from the 1980s and 90s, with rare dives into the early 2000s). The show also started having more sketches, featuring the actors who worked on Demo Reel, the show Walker did during the interim (with "The Review Must Go On" doubling as the finale for that project).

Due to already having their hands full with then-upcoming titles DeathSpank and Swarm, Hothead Games was forced to cancel the third and final episode of Penny Arcade Adventures, leaving it as a written story on the Penny Arcade website. Then, in August 2011, Zeboyd Games (creators of Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World) announced that they have taken up the mantle, and they're even going to make a fourth episode too, which will show us how the Precipice universe ties in with the standard Penny Arcade universe.

Roger Waters took complete control over Pink Floyd in the early 1980s, releasing the album The Final Cut as finale. In 1985 he left the group and declared it dissolved. When the remaining members still wanted to continue he took them to court. Finally, in 1987 an agreement was made that allowed Gilmour and Mason to continue using the name: Pink Floyd was uncanceled.

Roswell has both cases. It was -apparently- first canceled by the WB on the first season, which promoted the fans to launch a "Tabasco" campaign, in which they managed to send 6,000 bottles of Tabasco to the executives. On the second season, the show was canceled again, even if the fans did send 12,000 Tabasco bottles. UPN picked it up for a third season, after which it was canceled for good.

One of the shortest uncancellation cycles on record belongs to America's Most Wanted. In 1996, Fox canceled the series even though it was still one of the fledgling network's highest-rated shows, as Fox attempted to establish a Saturday night comedy block to take advantage of NBC's dwindling dominance of the evening. After then-FBI director Louis Freeh, police departments across the country, the governors of 37 states and more than 200,000 letter-writers complained about the decision, Fox hastily reinstated the series, and it suffered only a six-week hiatus. It also kind of helped that the new sitcoms bombed badly and that Fox realized Married... with Children and Martin should have never been moved to Saturday night in the first place. In 2011, the show was reduced to a series of quarterly specials on Fox, as well as regular showings on Lifetime TV, but it chugged along until 2013.

R.L. Stine's Goosebumps wrapped up its original run in 1997, with the Goosebumps 2000 spin-off lasting through 2000. In 2008 Stine brought the series back as Goosebumps Horrorland, recapturing much of the original series' success and lasting until 2012. The franchise has since evolved into Goosebumps Most Wanted, which as of this writing is still going strong.

Star Trek: Prodigy was cancelled by Paramount+ and erased from it streaming service in 2023 despite a second season already being greenlit and announced as forthcoming. Tax write-offs and Hollywood Accounting were allegedly to blame for the show's erasure from Paramount+, and after a vocal and dedicated fan campaign to see the series saved by another network, Season 2's episodes, finished and unfinished alike, were sold to Netflix to air in early 2024. This marks the second such time a Star Trek show was saved by a fan campaign, the first time being the Original Series all the way back in 1968.

Maison Ikkoku's dub was canceled by Viz after 36 episodes due to poor VHS sales, and the subtitled version was similarly canceled after 64 episodes. Viz released the show to billingual DVD after Inuyasha's success (both shows were created by Rumiko Takahashi), continuing the dub/subtitles from where they left off, and miraculously finished all 96 episodes. However, most of the dub cast was replaced for the newer episodes, and the sales were still low, so the final DVD boxset was a RightStuf.com exclusive.

Fans made noise, and a fourth season was created (to the annoyance of some fans, Henry and June's relationship was set back to being "just friends" (for a little while)).

Superman:
Though Supergirl (Rebirth) officially ended at issue #20, DC announced after its publication that it would be returning (with unchanged numbering) as a spinoff of Brian Michael Bendis' Man of Steel (2018).
Super Sons was suddenly announced to be cancelled in the February 2018 despite strong sales and a loyal readerbase, with the final issue being published in May 2018. Cue mass backlash on all forms of social media. Three months later, a monthly twelve-issue maxi-series titled Adventures of the Super Sons was announced with Peter Tomasi and Carlos Barberi as the writer and artist again.

ReBoot aired two seasons between 1994-1996 and was canceled by ABC because of the Disney buyout. They even had a sly dig at them in the final episode of the second season by calling the enemy vehicles Armored Binome Carriers (ABC's). "The ABC's, they turned on us!" "Treacherous dogs!" But the show was co-financed by YTV in Canada so they managed a decent Syndication deal and eventually produced a third season in 1998 that wrapped up the major plots and gave a happy ending to the characters (although left hints towards a new story arc). Then after being picked up by Cartoon Network and started doing well in the ratings, they helped finance a fourth season in 2001 that resolved the few remaining loose ends. Only to end on a Cliffhanger which had to be resolved in comic book form due to expecting a fifth season.

Comedy Central canceled Mystery Science Theater 3000 after a seven-year run, the show was then shopped around. Fans lobbied to other networks to bring the show back, even to the extent of buying a full-page ad in Variety bemoaning the loss. It was eventually picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel. Three years later, it was canceled again, though it has two Spiritual Successors: Cinematic Titanic and Rifftrax. In 2015, a successful Kickstarter campaign raised $5.7 million (far more than the $2 million goal) to bring back the series for an eleventh season on Netflix, which premiered in April 2016. A twelfth season arrived in November 2018, after which Netflix canceled the series... and then in April 2021, series creator Joel Hodgson announced his intention to start his own streaming platform for the purpose of bringing back the show and creating new related content; the Kickstarter campaign announcing this easily surpassed its $2 million goal within a day.

Pingu was originally canceled after Season 4 in 2000, due to the declining popularity of the series. Three years after HIT Entertainment bought the rights to the series, it was revived for two additional seasons before being canceled again in 2006. 11 years later, Mattel (current owners of HIT Entertainment) contracted Japan-based Polygon Pictures to produce another revival, Pingu in the City.

Star Trek: The Original Series is perhaps the most famous example of this trope, even though technically it was not actually cancelled. The story goes that, as the end of the second season approached, the producers caught wind that NBC was considering cancelling the series and reached out to the sci-fi fan community, generating hundreds of thousands (Wikipedia says a million) pieces of mail in support, leading to NBC announcing on-air the show's renewal for one final season.
It was then revived in animated form for a couple of seasons from 1973-1974.

I Am Not a Serial Killer is not only a rare literature example, but one in which it was "renewed" years after initially ending. Dan repeatedly insisted that he was satisfied with John's story being over after the first trilogy, but eventually realized that there was more to tell and pitched The Devil's Only Friend to his publisher. In another twist to the usual, the followup was almost universally positively received by fans.

Futurama:
The series got four made-for-DVD movies years after its original Fox run was over, thanks to the impressive ratings the reruns pulled in on Adult Swim. These movies were successful enough for Comedy Central to pick up the series, with the show lasting four years on the network. This appeared to be the end of things, outside the odd The Simpsons crossover or audio play, but then the show managed to nab a third run of episodes a decade later by way of Hulu.
The cold open of "Bender's Big Score", the first DVD movie, is the first of many jokes the show would make about its inability to die.

Battle for Dream Island: Thanks to a combination of Creator Backlash, jacknjellify's AdSense being disabled, and personal projects getting in the way, Battle for Dream Island Again was all but confirmed to be cancelled, with BFDIA 6 never coming to fruition. However, exactly 10 years after it was originally meant to come out, BFDIA 6 was finally completed and released to the public, bringing BFDIA out of cancellation.

Cagney & Lacey was canceled by CBS in 1983, after two seasons. A letter-writing campaign persuaded the network to bring the show back; four more full seasons aired, plus four (!) Made For TV Movies in the mid-1990s. Thus, unlike many of the shows on this list, its post-uncancelation run was much longer than its pre-cancellation run.

After three seasons Fox decided to cancel Lucifer (2016). This led to major outrage, especially as the third season finale left off on a cliffhanger created specifically to get a renewal. Much rallying on social media by fans as well as some of the cast and crew to #SaveLucifer led to Netflix deciding to resurrect the show.

In the spring of 1976, Joe Barbera was at lunch with ABC head of children's programming Michael Eisner. Joe quietly said "CBS is cancelling Scooby-Doo...would you be interested it it?" Eisner's eyes popped wide open and he said "When can I have him??!" CBS dropped Scooby on August 7, 1976 (replaced by Scooby expy Clue Club) in preparation for his move to ABC where he'd have a ten-year straight run.

Due South, multiple times. The show was originally cancelled by CBS after its first season. It was then renewed, and "Letting Go" was filmed to keep the fans from wondering what happened after the finale. It was cancelled again at the end of Season 2, with the production company going as far as taking down the sets. A group of Canadian production companies banded together to fund the show, and it returned for two more seasons. Callum Keith Rennie also replaced David Marciano as Ray Vecchio (because Marciano had already moved his family after the apparent cancellation and didn't want to move back).

The Fairly OddParents! was cancelled and renewed four times over the course of its ten season run, as a result of it not getting ratings as high as a certain sponge, yet still performing better than every other animated show on the network. The show was originally planned to end with Season 5 and the crossover special "The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators!" (which was intended to loosely act as a joint finale for both it and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron). Afterwards, Seasons 8 and 9 were both intended to be the final seasons of the show, before it finally ended with Season 10. Creator Butch Hartman joked that the network would reliably take him aside and renew the show for another season or two as soon as he'd leave each wrap party.

Reading Rainbow is a triumphant example of this trope. Commissions for new episodes of the show stopped in 2006, and in 2009 PBS pulled the funding and broadcast completely, and a day just before the Emmy for which the show won no less. Showrunner LeVar Burton, however, wouldn't take no for an answer and immediately sought to buy the rights to the name and past episodes, and seeing the potential of tablet computers, started a project to put videos and books featured on the show on the iPad. The project was met with critical acclaim when it launched in 2012, and requests started pouring in for the app to be ported to other platforms, resulting in a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project further and hitting an astonishing record of US$6.5 million, the highest funded project at the time, at the end of the campaign. The app has now been ported to Android and its derivatives, and there is also a version accessible from web browsers, with support for more platforms coming soon. And the additional money is used to fund access to the app for underfunded classrooms in the US. Additionally, new segments are now being shot for the app and for the YouTube channel. It's a glorious comeback for the franchise, and for LeVar.

Metroid Dread. While its existence was leaked in 2005, it was never officially announced to release that decade. Or the next. The game was originally in development for the Nintendo DS, only to get cancelled twice due to series producer Yoshio Sakamoto's disappointment with the hardware. The game's concept would be revived following the release of Metroid: Samus Returns, with Sakamoto being impressed with the work MercurySteam had done with the title, and the game would release in 2021.

Wheel of Fortune:
Incredibly, this happened in its early days on NBC daytime. NBC president and CEO Fred Silverman made two attempts to cancel the show in 1980. The first was to make room for a failed talk show hosted by David Letterman, but was never followed through; the second was to make room for a spinoff of Another World called Texas and was actually followed through to the point that several staff members (including announcer Charlie O'Donnell) left and a series finale was taped. However, Silverman was later ousted, and his replacement, Grant Tinker, reversed the cancellation decision, cutting Letterman's show to an hour, and the show managed to progress unharmed. Wheel would only gain in popularity come the 1980s, especially once Pat Sajak and Vanna White took over and the (still running) nighttime syndicated version began in 1983.
And then it struck daytime again. Pat Sajak left daytime in January 1989 to host a talk show for CBS, and while the out-of-his-element Rolf Benirschke did the last six months of that run, NBC and Griffin simply could not come to a license agreement due to The Price Is Right adding viewers while Wheel remained steady. NBC announced the show's end in mid-May, only for CBS to renew it the next day. After NBC's last show on June 30, the show took a two week hiatus before premiering on CBS July 17; Bob Goen was chosen as the new host on July 7. The show's subsequent ratings never approached that of the NBC era, even after hopping back there in January 1991, and it was cancelled September of that year.

For several years, the idea of bringing back Invader Zim was thrown around at Nickelodeon due to its continued popularity in reruns, but never fully stuck because no agreement could be made on how to budget the project (the high financial cost of the show was a major reason for its original cancellation). The property would eventually see a comic book continuation that started in 2015, followed by a television movie a few years later for Netflix.

Robot Chicken did a sketch where the show was supposedly canceled and then uncanceled after creators Seth Green (yes, him again) and Matt Senreich repented to Cartoon Network's execs; in reality, the show was hugely popular at the time and there was no question that it was green-lit for another season. It's since become a running joke that Robot Chicken gets "canceled" at the end of every season and "renewed" at the beginning of the next. Even if it means they have to get Seth MacFarlane to help them.

Young Justice was canceled after its second season ended in early 2013, with the final tag blatantly confirming the oft-hinted-at alliance between Darkseid and The Light. note While fans called this a cliffhanger, it wasn't; it simply confirmed a common theory, but no fates were left hanging and the plot was resolved. Despite a passionate campaign from fans, Cartoon Network wasn't swayed. However, a third season would be made for DC Universe and begin airing January 2019, followed by a fourth season for HBO Max at debuted in 2021.

Warhammer 40,000: The Dark Heresy spinoff game was released, canceled and Un-Canceled within the space of a month. The game, which fans had been looking forward to for decades, comes out. The entire print run sells out in two days. A few days after that, Games Workshop says it's getting out of roleplaying games because literature is easier to publish for profit. Once the gnashing of teeth dies down, Fantasy Flight Games picks up the license. This had the secondary effect of visiting Laser-Guided Karma upon the profiteers who had, on announcement of the cancellation, bought up every copy they could in the hope of selling them for silly money on eBay. This also had something of a longer-term effect, where several veteran designers and writers at Games Workshop left the company in the late oughts, only to contribute to Fantasy Flight Games, who currently publish all of the Games Workshop-licensed Tabletop RPGs. This then happened again in 2017, when Fantasy Flight lost the license; the books were simply re-listed under the new publisher and put back on sale in digital format.

Duke Nukem Forever. After years and years of basically being Vaporware (indeed, it was considered the poster child of vaporware; Wired magazine's "Vaporware Awards" at one point retired it from consideration just so it would be possible for other titles to win), it was then canceled...only to be picked back up by Gearbox a few months later. And then it finally got released. There's a lesson here. And it is this: Always, ALWAYS bet on Duke.

CBS dropped Tattletales in 1978 after a four-year run, then brought it back in 1982 for a two-year stint after a series of 4 PM news-magazine shows (slotted in after the soap Love of Life was canceled) failed to click.

Iceman and The Unstoppable Wasp were two of many titles released and cancelled around the time of the Marvel NOW! (2016) initiative. Both were created in the hope that they'd appeal to a diverse audience, including demographics who didn't traditionally read comics (Iceman had been revealed as gay and Nadia Pym was a new Legacy Character with an entirely female supporting cast). While the titles themselves had low monthly sales, strong trade paperback sales saw Marvel decide to resurrect both titles — with Iceman as a mini-series this time — to build on that success.

By 1985, British sci-fi institution Doctor Who had weathered Moral Guardians, inflation, and lackluster scripts... but when a new BBC controller who had never liked the show came in, its number was up, with the series being cancelled at the end of its 22nd season in 1985. The resultant outcry made the newspapers and talk shows (and even spawned a "We Are the World"-style charity record that has become an admitted mistake for all involved), and 18 months later, it returned; unfortunately, the ratings started to slip after it was put in a time slot against popular Soap Opera Coronation Street, and in 1989, it was cancelled once again. A failed pilot TV movie in 1996 notwithstanding, it wouldn't return as an ongoing TV series until 2005. It has since become one of the most successful works of fiction on British television.

In 1989, as part of its attempt to revive NBC's old Mystery Movie lineup ABC had new seasons of both Columbo and Kojak commissioned 11 years after they both ended in 1978. Although Kojak would only last one season, Columbo's revival managed to be successful enough to last a few more seasons and even after that continue with a near-yearly series of television movies all the way to 2003.

YooHoo & Friends was meant to end after one season in 2009 with 26 episodes (52 segments). It was suddenly bought back in 2013 and ran for two more seasons before its re-cancellation in 2015, ending it with 65 episodes overall. In addition, the new seasons had a different art style with new character designs, and a new plot.

Apparently the first anyone working on Blake's 7 knew of the fourth series was when it was announced at the end of the last episode of the third. The BBC's Director of Television, Bill Cotton, was enjoying the episode so much he phoned the transmission staff mid-episode and told them to announce that the show was returning.

Sailor Ranko has been plagued by real life troubles of the writer and the lead artist. It released 8 and a half chapters (306 pages) in the first 19 months, then 8 pages in 2 years, then took a 10-year hiatus. In September 2021 it suddenly came back and finished the 15-chapter first volume in about a year. The writer announced that the subsequent volumes will be donation-driven, but as of September 2022 the comic continues at at least half the previous rate.

And then it was cancelled again in June 2018, leading to more fan outcry. A month later, NBC caved again, but only partly — while the show wasn't given another season, it was given a two-hour TV movie to serve as a Grand Finale, thereby keeping the series from ending on a massive cliffhanger.

Dragon Ball Z Kai received this treatment as well thanks to the U.S. market. Despite good ratings, the lack of revenue in the merchandise caused it to be cancelled at the end of Cell Saga, meaning the Buu arc was left unadapted. However, the series proved to be so popular on Nicktoons TV and Toonzai that it led to the Buu Saga being commissioned a year and a half later.

Ed, Edd n Eddy was originally going to end after 52 episodes, with the episode Take This Ed and Shove It. Its continued popularity led to Cartoon Network ordering three holiday specials and two additional seasons, before the creator decided to scrap that final season early in production in lieu of a television movie. As such, the Season 5 finale "Fistful of Ed" was marketed as the final episode, while the two Season 6 episodes that were too far along to scrap aired as "lost episodes" the following year.note HBO Max simply lumps it together with Season 5. The series ended a year after that with the airing of Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show.

South Park. Both Comedy Central and creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were uncertain that the show would even draw mediocre ratings, let alone become a massive cultural phenomenon, so only six episodes were ordered. Parker and Stone put the bulk of their attention elsewhere with films such as BASEketball, but once South Park unexpectedly became Comedy Central's highest rated show and a hit among pretty much everybody from high schoolers to big name celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld, everyone scrambled to quickly create four holiday-themed episodes ("Pink Eye", "Starvin' Marvin", "Damien"note which was originally supposed to be the show's Christmas episode and "Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo") to tide fans over, followed by three more episodes to round out Season 1 and establish South Park as a full-fledged series.

Pikmin: Pikmin (2001) was remade on Wii, with the remakes coming out in 2008 in Japan and 2009 in the rest of the world. Pikmin 2 was planned to get the same treatment, and the remake for it came out in Japan, Australia, and Europe in spring of 2009, with the American version never getting a release other than vague hints like "Q2". It was quietly cancelled. In 2012, the American version was surprisingly uncanceled and released that June — just over three years after the Australian re-release hit store shelves (and even then, it was released under the Nintendo Selects label... which is usually only used for budget re-releases).

Unforgettable is the rare example of a show that did well in the ratings, but not well enough for CBS's ratings standards. It was killed at the end of its first season, but was renewed for a summer run on CBS for its second season because of TNT and Lifetime looking to snap it up. It did well enough as a summer show that it was renewed for a third season. After the third season, it was canceled again, only to be revived by A&E for a fourth season.

Dragon Warrior went on a very extended hiatus in North America after Dragon Warrior IV was released in 1992. Enix apparently had intentions to localize one of the next two games on the SNES, but these efforts died when they closed their American branch in the mid 1990s. The series was resurrected eight years later when Enix brought over a Game Boy Color compilation of the first two Dragon Quest games, but the release of Dragon Quest VII the year after really cemented the uncancellation of the series in America. Then plans for bringing the Dragon Quest IV remake to the U.S. were scrapped when the original development studio shut down. It took seven years and the Square-Enix merger before the U.S. finally saw the PS1 version's bonus content on the DS.

The Massive Multi-Fandom RPG: Season 3 of the roleplay ended abruptly once the GMs began experiencing burnout, and all seemed to indicate that this was the end of the story, especially since the GMs began to consider all of the roleplay one huge pile of rubbish. A couple of months later, however, season 3.5 was started again as an attempt to conclude the story, with a different, simpler premise that doesn't demand as much from the players. (And then it fizzled out as well, unfortunately.)

Family Guy is most likely the Trope Codifier, as uncancellations have become more common since it was uncancelled for the first time. Brought back by FOX after a long hiatus once DVD sales took off and reruns on [adult swim] brought in better ratings than what it had on FOX, who realized exactly how much money they stood to make off the most popular cartoon since South Park. What's especially notable here is how in the returning series premiere, Peter recited an excruciatingly long list of FOX shows that Family Guy was canceled to make room for but were themselves inevitably, if not always abruptly and swiftly, canned (see the page quote for all the shows that tried and failed at replacing Family Guy).

Several days after Jodie Troutman announced that she was pulling the plug on Lit Brick, a ton of fans came out of the wood work to bemoan the loss, convincing her to do regular updates again. Amusingly, this came after she took the trouble to draw comics detailing what happened to nearly every main character in the series, and finished with an epic goodbye to her readers.

This actually happened to the English dub of Dragon Ball Z back in the late 1990s. After two seasons worth of 67 episodes in its first run, the show was cancelled in 1998 due its failure of gaining a substantial audience. When the episodes started to air on Toonami, it got much more popularity, and Funimation started dubbing new episodes in 1999.
Dragon Ball Z Kai received this treatment as well thanks to the U.S. market. Despite good ratings, the lack of revenue in the merchandise caused it to be cancelled at the end of Cell Saga, meaning the Buu arc was left unadapted. However, the series proved to be so popular on Nicktoons TV and Toonzai that it led to the Buu Saga being commissioned a year and a half later.

The Transformers (Marvel) was intended to be just a 4-issue mini-series but after it got positive feedback, it was made into a series, which ended with issue #80. Decades later, The Transformers (IDW) wrapped up the story with a twenty-issue limited series (taking it from issue #81 through #100) titled '"Regeneration One''.

The anime adaptation of Durarara!! had a fairly satisfying ending, but still had some unresolved plot threads, and only managed to adapt the first three novels of the series. After finishing in 2010, a second season was finally announced in 2014 that would be divided into three parts. The first part aired in January 2015, the second part aired in July 2015, and the third part aired in January 2016.

The original Sherlock Holmes stories were immensely popular, but Arthur Conan Doyle was sick of writing them, so he killed Holmes off. After huge fan outcry (one of the fans allegedly being Queen Victoria herself), the publishers asked Doyle to write more. In response, Doyle named what he believed to be an impossibly large fee. The publishers paid it, and Doyle wrote more Holmes stories.

For the longest time Street Fighter was considered to be a dead series by Capcom (outside of re-releases and crossovers). Then, after years of clamor from fans, Capcom made an announcement and hell froze over for Street Fighter IV.

Several Mega Man sub-series have experienced this at some point or another.
Mega Man (Classic):
The last numbered installment without a significant Sequel Gap was Mega Man 8 (which came out in 1996/1997). Not counting Mega Man & Bass (a 2003 Game Boy Advance port of a 1998 Japan-only Super Famicom and WonderSwan game), it took over a decade for Keiji Inafune to bring a ninth entry to the series, which was presented as an homage to the golden days of gaming. It was followed two years later in 2010 by 10.
After 10, the series died again, with all games in the works being shut down. Cue massive shocks all over after it was uncancelled a second time in 2018, with Mega Man 11.
The Mega Man X series infamously returned, but no one realized it had ever been canceled at first, until years later when it was revealed in interviews, which led to the fans giving a collective "oooooooh" as to the changes that had occurred from X6-X8.
With franchise creator Keiji Inafune at the helm, the fan-favorite Mega Man Legends series had been revived after ten long years of silence... and then the Legends 3 project was canned, which caused Inafune to leave Capcom, and left the series right back at its previous status.

CBS canceled The $25,000 Pyramid in December 1987 and replaced it with a game show called Blackout. When that show tanked, $25,000 came back from April to July 1988 but only as a stop-gap measure until the revival of Family Feud was ready.

MOTHER was stated to be released in North America, but due to the NES being at the end of its life cycle, and the SNES taking off in popularity, Nintendo canceled the English release after it was finished. Nearly 30 years later, the game was finally released on the Wii U's Virtual Console as EarthBound Beginnings in order to differentiate itself from EarthBound (1994), which was released first.

After two decades of silence and only two remakes coming out, the Wonder Boy series was revived after a failed kickstarter for a spiritual successor fangame caught the eye of the series creators. They gave it official footing and support, being eventually released as Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom in 2018.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines released in November 2004 (a terrible time to be a new game on the market) after an infamously Troubled Production and utterly bombed due to stiff competition alongside being pushed out the door too quickly for a Christmas release. But its dedicated fan community and status as a cult masterpiece (along with brisk, continuous sales numbers for a game that couldn't even be beaten in its original state at release) has seen it receive a sequel, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, slated for release in 2020, the better part of two decades later.

Dexter's Laboratory lasted two seasons until 1998, and three years later returned. But the two seasons that followed are often hated because they lacked input from series creator Genndy Tartakovsky (who was busy with Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars), had a change in artwork, had different writers and voice actors (most notably, Dexter's VA Christine Cavanaugh had retired, so Candi Milo was called in as her replacement).

Anthony Horowitz intended the ninth Alex Rider book, Scorpia Rising (2011), to be the series' Grand Finale (barring a prequel focusing on the character of Yassen Gregorovich). However, a few years later he was working on a collection of previously published short stories set in the series' universe, and found he missed writing for the characters so much he decided to revive it with a new entry, Never Say Die, which was released in 2017. Another new book, Nightshade, is scheduled for 2020, with Horowitz expecting there to be at least one more after that.
