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.

One of the most intriguing shows on tv.. please bring it back
We have enjoyed the show so far. We are looking forward to a second season.
Loved season 1! PLEASE bring it back for season two or even more seasons. Great potential!
Renew renew renew!
Love this show. Hurry up and bring it back
Would love to see season 2. Great, compelling drama.
Loved the series hope to see more
Great Show looking forward to another season
Waiting for season two. Loved it.
Second season,loved to see it happen
! Please renew! Tremendous show!
Of course it should be renewed! Any time period drama set before 1970 is fantastic. Especially pre 20th century. Unfortunately since there’s no teen age vampires, or zombies the ratings probably weren’t up to snuff. Us educated fans long for more in-depth plot writing. RENEW IT!!
Would love for National Geographic to renew Barkskins for a 2nd season. I love the first season, thought it was very well done, and was really looking forward to the second season!
Love this show! Please renew for a second season.
Can’t believe they’re holding back on this one. It’s one of the best series on the air, much better than Frontier, imho, and way better than most of the other crap they show. Must not be Woke enough to run another season.
Please renew this awesome program, it’s the best thing to come to TV in years!!
