Sony, the production company and distributor behind the series, is in search of finding the dark and edgy series a new home. While the show gets shopped around the cast and fans have taken to social media to try and create buzz around it with #DeadlyClass and #SaveDeadlyClass
Many are hoping the likes of Netflix, Hulu or Amazon will take the show on. This wouldn’t be the first time a Vancouver-filmed show has been cancelled and brought back to life by Netflix as both Lucifer and The Killing were reincarnated by the streaming giant.
