While the second season of Legend of the Seeker is still airing, a significant decision has already been made about the possibility of season three.
Legend of the Seeker is a fantasy series about a young woodsman (Craig Horner) who discovers he is actually destined to be a heroic Seeker. The series also stars Bridget Regan, Bruce Spence, Craig Parker, and Kevin J. Wilson.
The show is produced by ABC Studios and airs in syndication, primarily running on stations owned by the Tribune Company. The show debuted on November 1, 2008 and was renewed for second season after just 10 episodes had aired.
Season two kicked off on November 7, 2009 and now, after 13 episodes have aired, Tribune has decided they’ve had enough. According to KsiteTV and a representative of Tribune, the show’s ratings haven’t been good enough for them to renew Legend of the Seeker for season three.

While ABC has not made an announcement that the show has been cancelled, the Tribune Company represents a large percentage of stations that carry the series. ABC will have to do a lot of legwork to get it picked up by enough other stations.
The big questions are if the ratings are good enough for other stations to want to pick up the show and if the revenue will warrant ABC keeping the show going.
Co-Executive Producer Mike Sussman isn’t ready to give up just yet. Yesterday, he twittered a photo his show’s hero with his favorite Mark Twain quote, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
The remaining episodes of season two kick off on March 20th.
What do you think? Should Legend of the Seeker survive to see a third season?

oh, and maybe getting this to a weekday instead of a weekend. Weekends people are out and about, and unless they DVR or Tivo it, maybe not a lot of people will tune in. Getting it on during the week may get even more people to watch
Well what I think should accur about the legend of the seeker is make a season three.I think a season three should happen because personally I love that show.I mean im only 12 years of age and I understand it as well as understanding a Sesame Street episode.Not saying I still watch it but what I mean is that my number one show out of all the others is ofcourse legend of the seeker and well if you cancel it well im just gonna hafto watch season 1 and 2 over and over again till I think its boring.MAKE A SEASON 3
This show shouldn’t be cancelled until the stories of the books are covered. We can have way too many horrible seasons of reality shows and police dramas so why not a great fantasy story? I love the books and I love the show even more.
