# Crowdfunded Show-Reviving Sites The Reupp Platform Lets Users Pledge Money to Revive TV Shows By Alexander Lam | Published 2013-07-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reupp-platform References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/crowdfunding-site-aims-resurrect-cancelled-tv-shows/) & [reupp](http://www.reupp.com/) If you've ever felt like your favorite television show was cancelled prematurely, you can now do something about it with the Reupp platform. Built by a team based in Sweden, Reupp allows users to [pledge money](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sponsorapp) towards reviving any [television series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsavailablein). If producers decide to bring a show back, pledged money is released as a donation to help fund the new season. Though Reupp was created to allow users to donate, it was not built to raise enough money to support a new season. The cost of producing each episode is so large that it would be unfeasible to [crowdfund](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indiegogo) an entire show. Instead, Reupp wants to allow users to vote with their dollars and let producers see how much demand there is for a certain series. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Crowdfunding TV Shows:** The Reupp platform allows users to pledge money towards reviving cancelled television series, opening the door for crowdfunding TV shows. - **Audience-driven Content Creation:** Reupp's model of letting users pledge money to revive TV shows allows producers to see the demand for certain series, creating an opportunity for audience-driven content creation. - **Revolutionizing TV Production:** Reupp's platform can potentially revolutionize TV production by providing a way for producers to gauge demand and fund new seasons through crowdfunding. ### Where This Applies - **Television Production:** Reupp's platform can disrupt the traditional model of television production by introducing crowdfunding as a source of funding and demand gauge. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Reupp's success in the market could create new opportunities in the crowdfunding industry by proving the viability of crowdfunding for funding TV shows. - **Media Streaming Platforms:** Media streaming platforms could adopt Reupp's platform to create a new model of content creation that is driven by audience demand and funded through crowdfunding. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Upgraded Crowdfunding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstarter-late-pledges.md) - [Crowdfunding Feedback Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feedfund.md) - [Personalized TV Recommendation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tv-recommendation-app.md) - [Content Creator Streaming Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quench-platform.md) - [Crowdfunding Platform Improvements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstarter-2025.md) - [Creator-Focused Monetization Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headquarterz.md) - [Adult Animated Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animated-comedy.md) - [TV-Specific Pop Informants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tv-show-aficionados.md) - [Supportive Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suppgram.md)
