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.

Outstanding show, a jewel among the dross that is too common on TV today. Anything with David Thewlis is excellent and the other actors are simply wonderful too. A compelling story and great acting—what more could one ask?
Yes season 2 is a must please we need to see what happens to Wobik. Please
Please renew this series. I loved it and miss it every day. The acting was superb & I’ve come to relate to the lady who runs the restaurant.
Renew for Season 2!! Read the book and would love to see the characters dramatize the storyline. ! Thanks
Barkskins was excellent and needs to be continued. I would put this series in the same category with Outlander and Black Sails. All are excellent. There are so few excellent programs.
More believable than Outlander, which is good entertainment. Black Sails started OK but wound up barely watchable. Barkskins deserves to be continued. Story is compelling, characters believable. I’ll be watching for it to return.
Please don’t leave us hanging… love this mini series. It is realistic portalial of that period of time, buildings and surroundings. Great actors/actresses. Was so sad when I expected to see the next episode and then left hanging. Finish what you started !!
Historic storyline with entertaining authentic look. The subtext of decadent capitalism vs the first people’s sustainable society is not subtle.
