Fans of One Day at a Time rejoice! After rallying with the hashtag #SAVEODAAT, the show is finally given a second life at Pop TV.
After running for only three seasons on Netflix, the streaming giant decided not to renew the sitcom for a fourth season. Netflix made the saddening announcement last March via Twitter saying:
“We’ve made the very difficult decision not to renew One Day At A Time for a fourth season. The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season.”
But fans of the show wanted to prove the streaming giant wrong. #SAVEOODAAT went viral shortly after the announcement of the series’ cancellation.
Not enough people watched the topic that is now trending within an hour after this announcement? The show trending behind the largest movie franchise in America? Right… totally checks out. #saveODAAT pic.twitter.com/zR446AlFrQ

While Netflix snubbed the trending pleas of fans to save the show, Pop TV has decided to step in and take over. Last Thursday, the CBS television channel posted the news on their official Twitter account. The post featured a video of show star Rita Moreno dancing in the family living room. Pop TV wrote in the video’s caption: “When you find out a new season of One Day at a Time is coming to Pop.”
