What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the National Geographic cable channel, 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?

Telly’s Take
Will National Geographic cancel or renew Barkskins for season two? The ratings have been okay but, the channel doesn’t air many original scripted series so it’s difficult to know what they consider to be a success. The series’ creator wants to make a second season so, we’ll have to wait and see if Nat Geo agrees. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Do you think that the Barkskins TV show should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Yes definitely renew the series! It was so good
Oh Dear God in Heaven, PLEASE let there be more Barkskins. I cannot go on living without knowing what happened to Hamish. OBSESSED!
I will be amazed if Barkskins second season is not made. The ending of season 1 episode 8 is left answers high and dry. You who have not seen it , watch it, it is authentic and professionally made a good piece of screen art and story. I read on here where on person asked if there was a way they could have a second season, My question would be why on earth would they not have to have, a second season. It needs some answers. If you want to make up your own answer , that’s not my way,… Read more »
We just recently discovered Barkskin, and binge watched all episodes in a few evenings! The story puts a new perspective on how harsh life was for those brave early settlers in “The New World.” Plus, we’ve learned some general history about how that area of Canada was settled. We want to see what happens next….
We loved Barkskins….it was the best…..please give us Season 2
Excellent series. I love period stories and anything with history. This was done very well and will be disappointed if it is cancelled. We need to find out what happens to the settlers and what the Indian girl gave him to make him look dead. And then he woke up!! Keep the show going. Thank you, AMM
Absolutely should be renewed for season two. We loved it
Yes vote for season 2
We definitely want a second season of Barkskins. Too many questions left unanswered in season 1.
We definitely want a season 2! Too many unanswered questions in season 1.
Yes yes yes we need a season 2 3 4 it is excellent
Yes. Please. Sure am looking forward to season 2, 3 and 4.
We have loved watching every episode of Barkskins and will be so upset if there is not a second season! Please give us another season! If it is advertised more it would get so much attention! It was kept pretty much in the dark! Give it another chance with advertising and see what happens!
Yes. Enjoyed very much
Yes, Barkskins should be renewed. At least to give viewers some closure of all the events left hanging. Once we used our closed caption on the TV, we could understand much more, but even when we weren’t sure what was being discussed or said, we figured things out. I don’t know how historically correct some of the events were, but my family was interested because my husband’s ancestors first arrived in the US in the late 1600’s. We know from some recorded and documented events that they lived in a fort close to the US/Canadian border and were frequently visited… Read more »
What a fantastic background history of your family you have, to find out about.
I can go back not as far, but my ancestors arrived in Australia from Britain in 1799 on the Hillsborough a horribly infamous transporter of convicts.
A ship with a reputation very bad. ,Arrived in 1799.
Its a great story too.
Can you imagine living in deep forest amongst Iroquois, Mayendot and other bands of the nations there, don’t know how they survived. Tough people like mine , indeed.
Great show needs number two season.
