Is Happy Endings getting revived? or are we just getting trolled?
It's been almost two years and I'm still reeling over the cancellation of ABC's Happy Endings. The show started off with strong ratings but due to ABC's mismanagement of scheduling and advertising, the show lost steam. It was able to keep a loyal following from hardcore fans, but that was not enough to keep the show from getting the axe. Since then, it has been teased that the show might be revived in some form. USA Network toyed with the idea of picking it up but eventually passed. There were rumors of a possible Netflix pick-up, but nothing ever substantialized.
But today the official Happy Endings writer's twitter account tweeted this:

Click the link. It's a countdown. The countdown ends on April 1st. Either we're getting some kind of news about a revival or this is the cruelest April Fools joke ever. Click on to see the accounts that the Happy Endings twitter is following and you see this:
... and now they're really starting to test my patience. Of the principal cast, three actors are already signed to new shows: Casey Wilson on Marry Me (which is like a Happy Endings rehash. It's good, but nothing near the original), Elisha Cuthbert on One Big Happy, and Zachary Knighton on Weird Loners. Damon Wayans Jr. and Adam Pally have just announced they will be leaving New Girl and The Mindy Project, respectively and Eliza Coupe's Benched was cancelled after one season.
So take this with a grain of salt. This could mean a possible Happy Endings revival on a streaming media service... or it could just be the writers being dicks.
