What’s This TV Show About?

A martial arts drama airing on the AMC cable channel, Into the Badlands stars Daniel Wu, Marton Csokas, Orla Brady, Sarah Bolger, Aramis Knight, Emily Beecham, Oliver Stark, Madeleine Mantock, Ally Ioannides, and Nick Frost. The AMC series takes place centuries into the future, in a feudal society called the Badlands. Season two finds Sunny (Wu) and M.K. (Knight) separated and imprisoned in unlikely places. While M.K. struggles to control his powers, Sunny resolves to fight his way back into the Badlands and find his family, or die trying. Meanwhile, The Widow (Beecham) continues to consolidate power against the other Barons, while a dark threat prepares to exact revenge on them all.

Telly’s Take

In its first season, the Into the Badlands TV show was a top three performer for AMC. Season one averaged a 1.79 rating in the important 18-49 demo and 3.86 million total viewers. Although the season two premiere numbers fell short, the numbers weren’t that bad. Now that it no longer has The Walking Dead as a lead-in, the ratings have plummetted. I suspect Into the Badlands will be renewed for a third season but AMC could easily cancel it. I’ll keep an eye on the ratings and update this page, periodically.
