As we enter the final chapter of Into the Badlands, an imprisoned Bajie warns Sunny that Pilgrim can't be trusted. But with his son's life on the line, Sunny struggles with his decision to help Pilgrim unlock the Meridian Chamber. Meanwhile, M.K., still reeling from the revelation that Sunny killed his mother, is hell-bent on revenge. Kidnapped by The Master, the Widow is forced to confront her past. Moon meanwhile races to save Lydia from impending death after she risked her life for his on the battlefield. As the last episodes unfold long buried secrets will be revealed, new alliances will be forged, and the saga will climax in an epic battle to end all battles.

What do you think? Do you like the Into the Badlands TV show? Do you think it should be ending? Would you watch a fourth season on AMC?
My husband and I LOVE this show – never missed an episode. This was a great alternative to TWD, which just keeps recycling the same storyline (they find a new home, somebody creates a stupid reason to go out on their own, they get themselves captured, everybody else goes out to rescue them so they can also get captured, somebody has to die, it drags on…blah, blah, blah…). We were looking forward to this show returning – only to find out it’s being cancelled. NOT HAPPY…
The only AMC show I have watched. I am angry and sad at the same time. It should have been continued.
Big mistake, This is a great show I have turned many friends onto it. Not a good move, pleased reconsider. I think new fans are just discovering it and many more to come.
big mistake amc, it is so much better than twd, really zombies been done to death pun intended
BEST show on AMC!!! I love Preacher & TWD, but this show was by far the most captivating! Hope they reconsider!
Really? After just three seasons and 32 episodes? Did the show’s creators actually plan for an end this premature? If not, this is an absolute screwover by AMC. I expected at least four, maybe five, seasons of “Into the Badlands”. I bet the declining viewership during seasons 2 and 3 had something to do with this decision.
Please Netflix pick up Into the Badlands!
Ofcourse you feel bad when a series you love so much ends abruptly,maybe they should put a disclaimer before airing the show that it would end after certain season.Shows like TWD have a spin off which is not much different than the original show itself and they run endlessly.Makers should do a poll asking viewers what show they like and about the continuity and then make a decision.
P.S I’ll miss Widow the most!
The walking dead can go on for so long that it becomes repetitive and uninteresting and still be continued but a fun intense watch like Into the Badlands which is so unique of a show gets cancelled while it just seemed to be getting going. I was a die hard walking dead fan as well but lately the show has lost virtually all of its luster and survival seems to have turned into just another violent drama. Very disappointed in AMC for cancelling Into the Badlands!
I supported this cool show by purchasing full season passes on iTunes and will always do, This is a bad news to see such an unique show like this getting away from us, and stupid and ridiculous show like The Walking Dead still is on. I’ve finished with AMC either, then, only pay to Netflix which is still reliable.
This is my favorite show to watch. AMC always cancelling the wrong shows. Why not cancel the Walking Dead. All the main characters are gone so why continue it.
Bring it back for a 4th season!!! One of the best shows on TV DO NOT STOP THI SHOW I LOVE IT
Are you KIDDING!!! What was the reason for he cancellation? Does it have anything to do with the upcoming show WARRIORS? Let all martial arts fans vote against this decision since no reason was given, Totally against this…..
This is my favorite show of all time, I love it!! I am sure if the ratings were higher, this would not be a problem, so let’s get higher ratings, more buzz, and hopefully save this fantastic show! Share clips, talk it up. Unique quality like this should not be allowed to fade away. Also, (with the magic blood) if they brought back Quinn, that might help attract more viewers.
Why are they not continuing Into the Badlands!! So much better than TWD. Damn you took off Hell on Wheels, Breaking Bad!! Is anybody going to continue this Into the Badlands?? Such a loss!!
Hell on Wheels ended once the Railroad was built. I liked the show too, but it was loosely based on American history. It’s end was already written.
