It seems like there may be no need to wonder if Barkskins will be cancelled or renewed for season two. This National Geographic Channel series appears to be a true mini-series that will have a set conclusion. Still, if the ratings are good enough, surely a way could be found to continue the story in some way. Stay tuned.
A historical fiction drama series, Barkskins is based on the novel of the same name by Annie Proulx. The show stars David Thewlis, Marcia Gay Harden, Aneurin Barnard, James Bloor, Christian Cooke, David Wilmot, Thomas M. Wright, Tallulah Haddon, Kaniehtiio (Tiio) Horn, Lily Sullivan, and Zahn McClarnon. The series examines the mysterious massacre of settlers in the vast and unforgiving wilds of 1690s New France. This event threatens to throw the region into all-out war. Likely suspects abound – the English, the Hudson’s Bay Company, and a band of Kanien’kehá:ka (Iroquois) possibly in league with the English looking to drive the French from the territory. But, who or what brought these settlers to such a tragic end?

What do you think? Do you like the Barkskins TV series on National Geographic? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I’m STILL thinking about Barkskins . Hoping that Season Two is in the making.
Please please continue barkskins. It is my favorite show and I must have more. My favorite part is the matriarchal indian village, the long houses and also the bark teepees of the other tribe are absolutely amazing. I’d love to know more about their culture I admit I am crushing on the good worker for trepanye. I have a foreboding sense everyone is gonna die, sadly, except for the Indians, but it’s just a guess. I need to read the book and more history.
Yes please continue! I look forward to the series each week!
I love the series, Barkskins. Please keep renewing it. Great historical fiction! I hope it continues for many seasons. Would like to see the translation of the American Indians speaking.
Would love to see the series renewed. Very historically accurate and interesting plots. Beautiful scenery. Reminds me of Black Robe movie.
Please continue the Barkskins series! It is so very interesting and we never miss an episode
Please renew Barkskins for another Season!!
We love the History of it!
Please renew Barkskins for another Season!!
Please continue next year. Really enjoy the show.
Barkskins is a great series and should continued. It is a quality show and there are few quality shows to be found on TV. Please continue Barkskins.
I think that Barkskins is the best show on TV that I have seen in a long time.
There MUST be at least a season 2 to wrap up storylines! This series is excellent and one of the most realistic historical series I’ve ever seen. There is so much here it could easily continue for several seasons! PLEASE bring it back!
What the heck ! You hooked us…great acting, although the audio was terrible, couldn’t understand half the conversations. Waiting for episode 9 and nothing ! What happens !? Looked forward to the show, and the climax and we get a guy taking a breath, and looking surprised!.WUH !? ..Just as surprised as WE were. when we didn’t see episode 9 ! If your not going to have an ending, or run another season, don’t bother running the darn thing.
One of the best new shows on !!!!!!!!
Really well done TV. But since it contains no giant robots or car chases or Kardashians, it’s be largely ignored by the American public and be quickly banished from the TV landscape.
Such a great series as episode 8 was a nail biter.
Sad to hear they are are only having 1-season as I would really like to see this take off into season 2z
The way the season ended, they left the door wide open for a season two.
