The Borgias (2011 TV series), a historical-fiction drama television series created by Neil Jordan that had debuted in 2011 and ended in 2013, generated many fans across the globe.

When Showtime decided to cancel the Canadian co-production The Borgias series on June 5, 2013 due to the expense of production, a fan campaign was started in an attempt to convince Showtime to revive the series which prematurely wrapped a three-season, by organizing a “send sardines” event on June 28, 2013 where Fans asked for a proper conclusion to the period drama with the following message:﻿ “WE are The Borgias' fans and WE feel unloved. WE have been in the wilderness far too long. WE will dine on sardines until you give us Season 4. And so should you!”

The sardines stunt was considered by some media outlets as the latest move in a “Save The Borgias” campaign that has been active on social media since the show’s cancellation was announced. To date, an online petition has secured more than 13,000 signatures and the hashtag #SaveTheBorgias has been popping up consistently on Twitter.
