Despite a sizable drop in the ratings during its sophomore outing, the Into the Badlands TV show was still the top rated AMC TV series that doesn’t use the words Walking Dead in its title. Now the post-apocalyptic adventure is back for a third season. Can it stanch the bleeding or even rebuild its audience this time around? Will Into the Badlands be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An AMC martial arts drama, Into the Badlands stars Daniel Wu, Eleanor Matsuura, Stephen Lang, Sherman Augustus, Babu Ceesay, Orla Brady, Aramis Knight, Emily Beecham, Ally Ioannides, Lorraine Toussaint, Ella-Rae Smith, Lewis Tan, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Nick Frost. The series unfolds centuries into the future in a feudal society called the Badlands.
Season three kicks off after Veil’s death. Sunny (Wu) and his son, Henry, are living off the grid, when the baby takes ill. Sunny teams up with Bajie (Frost) to journey back into the Badlands, where The Widow (Beecham) and Baron Chau (Matsuura) are engaged in a protracted war. Meanwhile an enigmatic nomad, Pilgrim (Ceesay), arrives with claims of ushering in a new era of “peace.” Soon, enemies will ally themselves to defend the Badlands.

What do you think? Do you like Into the Badlands TV series? Should this AMC TV show be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
*2/10/19 update: AMC has decided to end Into the Badlands so there won’t be a fourth season.
OMG…please do not cancel this series!!!! Totally Amazing. First thing I have enjoyed since the Soprano’s! An awesome show!
I think their should be a season four of the bandlands. I think it was the best shot out their on air and im a true fan of it. I truely wish for this show to continue a fourth season and if it doesnt continue then i will truely miss this show. Wishing i could be a part of it as well thankyou for taking my commet.
Please, let the show continue. We are so excited that it has been cancelled regardless of how great it was. This is a very disappointing fact that there could be another reason,,,,,,!! We love the show, it should continue.
Into The Badlands is the best thing I’ve seen on T.V. in years! So original and beautifully filmed. The fight scenes are incredibly well choreographed. Don’t cancel it! I swear if one more good story driven show gets cancelled to make room for some stupid reality/game show, I’m out. Done with T.V. I’m going to devote that time to reading books. Better for me anyway.
Please do not cancel the movie we love the it
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!! DONT CANCEL THE SHOW! ITS A VERY AMAZING SERIES BESIDES GAME OF THRONES! please continue!!!!!1
why cancelle such a great show for the ratings they should blame them selves cause they stopped for a long period of time and people lost hope of it let them continue with the show
I am very disappointed this is cancelled and there won’t be a 4th season. Left us hanging. I’m hoping you will bring it back. Show it at better times and maybe ratings will be better. We don’t care about ratings. We just loved this series and need closure ascto how it turns out. Shame on you AMC.
There should be no reason for a break that long in the middle of the season. What sense does it make to air half the season and then turn around and air the other half almost a year later. As someone said before, Walking Dead isn’t the only thing worth watching and if you ask me that zombie crap has long gotten played out. So don’t try and cancel the show if the rating dropped blame yourself for that long gap and minimum advertising or information of the show. The bulk of the fans probably got tired of waiting, thought… Read more »
Please bring it back for a 4th season
Even with the show being cancelled(so a lot of people stopped watching the last 8 episodes) it still seems to have the same or better ratings than Killing Eve, and AMC is in love with that. Fans of Into The Badlands were lied to and screwed over by AMC. Season 3 was supposed to be 16 episodes in ONE year, not in 2. After season one, this show was all over the place and almost always started at 10 pm est. Shame on AMC. They screwed us, and ended a really good show. Disgraceful.
If AMC is so worried about the ratings of Into the Badlands, then why don’t they put the show on at a better time. Why does the show air so late at night?Instead they plays reruns of the same movies over and over again during the day, wtf AMC!?
AMC must continue with season 4, and forget about the rating
