The Shield: Petition to Continue the TV Show as a Movie

The ShieldAfter seven seasons and 88 episodes, The Shield TV show has come to an end. Did Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) get his just desserts? The series could have ended with Vic’s death, him going on the run, going to jail, or getting away with it all. In the end, the vigilante was separated from his posse, abandoned by his family, and sentenced to three years in his own personal hell.

Should this be the end of this exceptional series or should it continue? There’s been discussions of a Shield movie and Chiklis and creator Shawn Ryan have indicated they’d be interested in seeing where Vic’s future lies. What will happen once his term with ICE is finished. Can he go back to his old ways? How will it change him? Will he ever see his family again?

If you’d like to see The Shield continue as a movie, sign the petition below and let us know what it should be about. You can also write to Ryan and the FX network here. Does Vic’s story have to end?


To: Fox Television Studios, MiddKid Productions, Sony Pictures Television

We, the undersigned, greatly enjoy watching the FX TV show, The Shield. The series is truly unique, continually entertaining, and outstanding in many ways.

We’re truly sorry to see this complex show come to an end and are not ready to say goodbye to the tough world of Vic Mackey. Please consider continuing the tale in some new way, preferably in a series of movies, either made-for-television or in theaters. This gritty story shouldn’t come to an end just because the TV show chapter has concluded.

Thank you for your consideration.

    It cannot end here, there's a serious need for more. For me, Hill Street Blues was the pace maker, bettered by NYPD Blue. But 'The Shield' takes the Crown. There is so much more that can be done, maybe a film but please make it soon, as life is short.

    Shield fans are thankful for FX show The Shield, but we are still questioned on what happens to Vic Mackey after his term with Ice. Does he continue to look for his family, Does Vic try to help Ronnie out of prison, or does he find a way to continue going on investigations with Ice? Through out the years us fans have seen Vic never give up on His family, Friends, and himself. He will stop at nothing to help the ones he loves. We are confused on what really happens to Vic Mackey, because it ends with him watching cop cruisers driving by, then retrieving his weapon and walking away from the scene. I would really like to see The shield continue on FX as a TV movie for the fans.

    Found this on Netflix and couldn't stop watching. So disappointed there is no continuation of the series. Talented actors and strong story line. Would tune in for season 8. nothing but reality TV junk on. Maybe Netflix or HBO or HULU can continue the show since they are always trying to come up with original content, this would be great start!

    Michael Chiklis and Shawn Ryan created something that was so completely original and daring and unbelievable that we can't help but watch episode after episode to see what happens next, with each episode showing us exactly what we want to see and more. Even though we knew that the strike team was corrupt you could not help but fall in love with them. David Rees Snell who played Ronnie Gardocki may not have gotten a lot of screen time to show a true character development but Snell was still able to keep audiences interested in him and went out with a bang in his final scenes on the show. Kenneth Johnson who played Curtis Lemansky did a fantastic job as the more caring character that we could relate to, it was just a shame that his character couldn't stay for the whole show. Walton Goggins who played Shane Vendrell, we saw at first as just Vic's idiot friend but would later grow attached to him to the bitter end and to both feel for and hate at the same time, Goggins did a fantastic job with his character delivering many memorable scenes, I recommend you watch him on the tv series Justified his character Boyd Crowder is a modern day shakespearian Villian. Michael Chiklis who played Vic Mackey, will go down in history as one of the greatest characters in television history, everybody who watched the show knew he was a crooked cop, but week after week we still rooted for him because Michael Chiklis is one hell of an actor. We won't admit but we all carry a little bit of Vic in us even if none of us know it. Almost 5 years have passed and none of us will ever probably see another show like The Shield. But I still don't want it to be over not yet anyway. Strike Team Forever!!!!!!!

  • MattCountry: United States2013-04-08 11:44:31
    Still the best show.

    Would love to see VIC get away with everything. He's too cool.
  • Lester KleinCountry: USA 2013-03-12 20:55:07
    I would pay to see a season 8.

    Last month - January 2013 - Michael Chiklis said that Shawn Ryan had an idea for a movie that revisits Vic. All would be willing to do it but it's in Fox's hands right now. So, Fox Big Shots, please consider a Shield movie. It was the best cop drama on television and has grown a steady cult following. There's already an audience and a movie would bring more people to watch the show on DVD - there's money to be made. We all look forward to it. Thank you.

    This could continue in so many big ways... Captin Wimms is dying who is gonna take over the barn? I feel like we didnt get into Julians character enough. Maybe he could run a new strike team? Dutch seems a little twistedaybe he could has killed Rita? Tht cat stangling scene was pretty sick. He could be a mastermind killer and nobody has a clue. Maybe Wimms catches on to his bs as she normally does and he ends up having to kill her. Seems like Dutch was practically shoving those pills in th captins face. I defininately want some more facetime between Vic and Ronnie. Vic sort of betrayed him but maybe Ronnie could forgive him and they could work on a way of getting him out of prison. Maybe break him out and they both go on the run as planned. We did see Vic grab his gun at the end of season seven. We all know he had more than enough time to come up with a solid plan to get Ronnie out. Like Shane said he is the guy that masterminded the moneytrain robbery. He masterminded everything. That could very well continue in so many ways. He can't live without his family I know he can find them and at least say goodbye the right way. My have his ex wife Murdered and try to get the kids back. Who knows where this could go anywhere. If anything end it all with a movie.

    This show needs to continue in some format. A movie or another season. To good to stop after 7 seasons.
  • Kenny LunsfordCountry: USA2013-01-29 23:38:48
    It's time for the movie
  • Evan SauveCountry: Canada2013-01-19 11:27:50
    The Shield could continue with greatness but in order to do so Vic is going to have to break or get Ronnie out prison thats the only thing Vic has done which is unforgivable after that could be them on the run, maybe new cop idenities or maybe everything could be thrown out agasnt Ronnie cause he was proberly the smartest out of all of the them to get rid of any evidence of any crime he was involed in. Being arrested for terry's does not make much sense because he never knew a thing about it until the sencond season or somthing. Maybe he could get his old job back at the barn maybe even leader of the new strike that despretly needed Idk if anything I just want to see a Ronnie spinoff.

    Best show ever!! I was sad when it ended and feel there is still way more to the stories of the characters. There was a lot that was still "unsaid" with many of the characters. There's got to be a way for more stories. One thing I noticed during Vic's confession is, it all started with " during a raid on a drug dealer named two time, I shot and killed Det Crowley". Vic went on to tell them about the drug dealing, protecting drug dealers, robbing the money train from the Armenians, to setting up Neil for the robbery, and so on. You hear a majority of the crimes Vic confesses too through out the series, some of which aren't mentioned but continues for all the stuff they did. In "Ronnie's defense ( or to throw Ronnie a bone, so to speak) Vic never mentions the activity in season 2 co pilot episode. When they when they had connie plant crack in the pimp/dope dealers house?What about Aceveda? He's also conspired to commit murder ( Juan Lozano) and what about who shot and killed Andre 3000's character at the end of season 7? What about Dutch being set up by the kid? What about Julian? After season 3 you don't hear about his wife, did he go back to men? Those are just some of the things left unsaid. Fans of the show would like more! I've seen all 7 seasons more than a few times because every now and then I need a " strike team fix". Shawn Ryan, Kurt sutter, glen mazzara and the other writers are very talented l. I'm sure you guys can come up with a way to bring it back on tv or made for tv movie(s). There are enough fans out there who would love the shield to come back. Have you guys thought about creating a blog to get feedback or other ideas to bring it back? Ever thought about doing a series before they were the strike team? That story could be a prequel, show a different side of the characters before the became dirty?

    It was a great show - it really needs to be continued in a movie or a movie with many sequels ... but to do that we got to get Vic out of Vegas! (I like the show too!)
  • Tony LittlesCountry: US2013-01-07 14:09:20
