Along the way, there have been several grassroots fandom efforts to save Mutant X from disappearing, some more successful than others. As the end of the third season approached, it was becoming clear that Tribune's bleak financial future would ensure that no season 4 would be forthcoming. The owners of a fansite called PureMX drafted a petition to the SciFi Channel, asking that the series be picked up by that station. Though unsuccessful, the petition has generated over 3000 signatures and continues to grow to this day.
There have been other specific grassroots fandom movements as well, such as the grassroots effort to have Season 3 released on DVD (this one was successful), and the United Kingdom petition to have Mutant X continue its programming on the European television station SkyOne.
With the cancellation of Mutant X, Tribune floated the idea of a possible television movie which would resolve the unfinished plotlines of the third season's cliffhanger. This was around the time that the website Save Mutant X was born, a community of die-hard Mutant X fans determined to keep Mutant X going. As it turned out, the movie was never made, but Save Mutant X inspired the creation of a handful of smaller separate fansites with similar purposes and Mutant X Petitions.
