Is there a chance that Switched at Birth may last longer than it's set out to last?

There's a petition going around that is gaining signatures to help the series from not going off the air after the fifth season. There are currently more than 2,000 signatures to date with a goal at 2,500.

Perhaps, if the petition garners enough signatures, it might bring some attention from television networks and producers although nothing is guaranteed. But fans are able to do the best they can and see what happens in the future.

The petition has already gained some attention from two stars of the series who've taken to Twitter to express their gratitude to everyone who's been signing away.

The link has pointed out that not only is this show great for entertainment purposes, but it also teaches a lot about deaf culture.

"This show has brought me and many others hours of joy, and though the show has to end sometime I believe we are nowhere near that time yet, this show still has lots to give and lot more to give," the site reads. "After watching the first season of this show I gained a high interest in sign language and deaf culture. Switched at Birth is an amazing show and deserves more time before it is ended."

Switched at Birth Season 5 is expected to premiere in 2017 on Freeform.
