When The Owl House debuted on Disney in January 2020, the animated series received nearly unanimous praise. Not only was The Owl House seen as creative and original content, but the series was also praised for its use of multiple LGBTQ+ characters in its storyline. That included principal protagonist Luz Noceda who develops a relationship with one of the show's other main characters, Amity Blight. As of the end of 2023, the first two seasons hold a rare rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, and consistently posted high ratings according to the streaming aggregator JustWatch. However, its stellar critical acclaim and copious awards were not enough to prevent The Owl House from getting canceled. The consternation among fans was palpable, particularly among the LGBT+ community, who rightfully saw it as a big step forward in representation.
