Q&A for How to Cope when Your Favorite TV Show Ends

If you enjoyed *Grimm*, you might also like series such as *The Vampire Diaries*, *Teen Wolf*, *The Originals*, *Being Human* (both UK and US versions), *Supernatural*, and *True Blood*.

You can read fan fiction or try writing your own. Also, explore the show's fandom to find like-minded fans.

If you have hope your favorite show might continue, actively support it to demonstrate audience interest to the network. Consider signing online petitions, emailing the network, or contacting streaming services like Netflix or Hulu about picking up the series.

Just give it a try. Watch an episode or two; if you like it, continue watching. If you don't, find another show to watch. Search "shows like (blank)" and plenty of results will come up.

Watch reruns until you find a similar show to watch. It may end up becoming your new favorite!

If you look the show up on IMDB, on the column to the right of the show's details you'll often find user lists on which the show appears. This can be a good way to find similar programs you might enjoy. You can also check out the site tastedive.com, in which you type in a show and it produces a list of recommendations.

Try to write some fanfic about what you think would happen. If the show is popular, there are probably already theory sites and stories that you could find by searching online.

Keep rewatching episodes from the other seasons that came before it and predict what's going to happen next! Maybe look at the wikia for your show to see when the episodes are going to come out. Sometimes there is a bit of information about each episode before they come out. Watch films and write fanfics about stuff you would like to happen later on in a show. Keep track of the creator's twitter or any other social networks and you may get clues about what's going to happen next!

Try to get more friends to watch together! You can also try finding fandoms online. Search "Friends" related keywords on tumblr.com or Google "'Friends' fan fiction" to find other fans.

Make your own endings as fan fiction and post them online. I bet other people have done the same. Look around on Tumblr and FanFiction.net for examples.

You could rewatch the whole series from the beginning, or watch your favorite episodes. You might see things you missed the first time. You could also see what the actors are doing other than acting on your favorite show. Some actors have other shows you might like, or they make appearances at conventions, which you can watch recordings of. You could also read (or write your own) fan fiction stories about the show.

Look for shows in the same genre. It'll take you a while to get over the empty feeling of leaving the previous show behind, but finding a show that's like the show that ended in some aspects should help. Whether it's drama, comedy, horror, or even a type of anime that you like, just look for shows that fall under the category of the one you watched before.

Yes, you can effectively apply these tips to cope with an anime show ending. The strategies are generally useful for any series that concludes, is canceled, or otherwise disappoints you.

Shows rarely kill off major characters. They do, however, often end seasons on just such a dramatic cliffhanger to keep watchers talking about the show during its hiatus, maintaining interest and momentum. Think of all the possibilities you can as to how the character might escape death, who might come to the person's aid in time, etc.

When a character dies, they're not lost forever. Some shows, like Lost and Supernatural, had characters so popular that the creators brought them back. You might also find that new or future characters are even more enjoyable than the character you originally loved, and it would be a shame to miss out on those characters.

For generally family-friendly options, you might consider *Fruits Basket*. If you're seeking a humorous anime that is not appropriate for all ages, *Rosario + Vampire* is another choice.

Take a quiz on what shows to watch based on your preferences. Ask for recommendations from people in social media forums devoted to shows that you enjoy. Use your own Netflix profile, and check out their recommendations based on shows you watch. Or simply type into Google: "shows to watch if I like X" and you'll get plenty of results.

You can send an email or letter directly to the production studio. You might also ask your parents, guardians, or friends for assistance with this process.

It's not clear what you mean. You can't stop the remaining episodes from being created or released, if that's what you mean. You're free not to watch them. If you're using a service like Netflix or Hulu, you can always cancel it, but you won't get a refund for the current month, your subscription will just be canceled at the end of the current pay period.

While a definitive ending makes a direct continuation unlikely, you might see a reboot or spin-off in the future, though this often takes many years.
