Julie Plec is raising a social media glass to her team, colleagues, friends and fans who were affected by The CW’s decision to cancel her shows Legacies and Roswell, and NBC’s ruling that The Endgame should be ended.
Initially, Plec tweeted a short statement on the cancellations.“It’s the Red Wedding at Wbtv/CW today,” she tweeted at first. “Much more to say, but not today. Loads of gratitude coming for fans and cast and crew in future tweets. But today, we mourn.”
After a proper mourning period, she came back to Twitter with a long string of thank-yous.
“A toast thread to the fallen and the fans who have to say goodbye,” Plec tweeted on Friday to begin her series of salutes.
