The new version was developed by Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce, with original series producer Lear on board as an executive producer.
The second season arrived on Netflix in January, but a Season 3 renewal has not been issued. That prompted Calderón Kellett to reach out to fans to help, and brought it to the National Hispanic Media Coalition’s attention.
The NHMC called the show “a guiding light – the true north in and for an industry grappling with issues of diversity, equity, and inclusivity.”
The letter concluded: “Through One Day at a Time, Netflix is not only pro-actively shifting the public narrative of Latino Americans, but simultaneously setting the standard for positive and equitable representation of Latinos in television. That is why we request your continued support and urge you to renew “One Day at a Time” by moving forward with season three.”
Netflix had no comment on the open letter.
Blown away by this support! Thank you @NHMC @NHLAgenda @NLIRH @HispanicArts @PresenteOrg @WeAreUnidosUS @votolatino @HispanicCaucus & everyone for writing an open letter to @Netflix in support of @OneDayAtATime
