Doc McStuffins, the lovely Disney Junior show about a nurturing 6-year-old girl who can talk to the stuffed animals that she cares for in her “clinic” may not be back on air.

As of Thursday, RenewCancelTV reports that the fate of season 5 has not been decided. Only that its premiere date is TBA.

With that, parents, grandparents, aunties and siblings took to Twitter Saturday morning, causing #RenewDocMcStuffins to trend and sending the message to Disney Junior that representation is important.
