Is there still hope for Ongezellig?
I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’m genuinely curious what everyone here thinks about the future of Ongezellig.
I’ve become really attached to this series. It’s actually kind of unusual for me. Usually when I discover a series or some kind of media I get really into it for maybe a month at most and then I eventually lose interest. But with Ongezellig it’s been around four months now and I still haven’t gotten tired of it.
And what’s crazy to me is that the last episode was released years ago. The first dell came out out in 2018 and the pilot was completed in 2022 yet people are still incredibly passionate about it today.
I know I’m mostly just a consumer of the content but there are so many people in this community who are extremely talented and creative and who genuinely love this series. People have entire accounts dedicated to it and make art animations comics discussions memes theories and all kinds of stuff. Some people are clearly even more invested in it than I am.
So this makes me wonder.
Is there actually any realistic hope for Ongezellig to continue someday?
I know there are fan projects being worked on and I really appreciate the people making them. But from what I’ve seen most of them are limited to things like comics and those can take a very long time to produce.
What I’m wondering about is something more substantial.
Could the original series ever come back either with Studio Massa or somehow through another official production?
And if that’s completely impossible could someone else eventually make a genuine continuation of Ongezellig?
I’m not talking about a random fan parody or something that just uses the characters. I mean a serious continuation made by people who actually understand what made Ongezellig special. The atmosphere the writing the characters the humor the visual style and the overall feeling of the original.
It obviously wouldn’t be canon and that’s fine. Personally I’d still be interested in seeing a well-made non-canon continuation if it genuinely felt like Ongezellig and respected the original work.
Because honestly seeing how many people still care about this series years after the last episode makes me wonder if there’s enough passion and talent in the community for something like that to eventually happen.
So what do you guys think?
Is a real continuation actually possible?
Could Ongezellig realistically return someday either officially or through a serious fan made production?
And if you think it’s possible how would you imagine it happening and when do you think something like that could realistically happen?
Ongezellig has been bothering me lately. I genuinely care about this series a lot. It’s probably the piece of media I’ve connected with the most and the one I’ve understood on a personal level more than anything else.
So I finally decided to make this post and ask what you guys think about its future.
