AMC hasn’t made it official yet but actor Daniel Wu says that Into the Badlands has been renewed for a second season.
A martial arts drama, Into the Badlands takes place centuries into the future in a feudal society called the Badlands. Seven rival Barons control access to the Badlands’ essential resources and each one maintains an army of enforcers to protect their interests. In the middle of it, a warrior and a boy travel together as they seek enlightenment. The cast includes Wu, Marton Csokas, Orla Brady, Sarah Bolger, Aramis Knight, Emily Beecham, Oliver Stark, Madeleine Mantock, and Alexia Ioannides.
The series debuted last month to a 3.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.39 million viewers. The ratings have come down quite a bit since then but it remains one of AMC’s highest-rated shows.
On his Facebook page, Wu posted “Into The Badlands has been renewed for a second season. So fans, please continue to support the show as well as you have. Things like voting on IMDB help a lot, so thanks fans!”
Update: The actor has since deleted the post and his page has recanted the announcement but it seems very likely that Into the Badlands will be renewed for a second season at some point.
What do you think? Do you like Into the Badlands? How long do you think the series can run?
I LOVE this show. Its as good as game of thrones to me. I absolutely love this show so much and dont want it to end. So far the second season is even better than the first and in my opinion if a tv show gets better as it goes along and not worst thats a good enough reason for me to keep watching:) So in other words 2 thumbs up.
I really, really enjoyed the show. I have been waiting for the second season to start. I just got finished watching the last three episodes of season 1 again. Yes, I said AGAIN. WHEN IS SEASON 2 GOING TO START?
Excellent show, I love the storyline very gripping and suspenseful and especially the martial arts (I’m a martial arts die heart fan)! The hand to hand combat scenes were marvelously choreographed,which I well appreciated the quality, ingenuity and style! Along with the women combat as well. I must admit that the quality of work and the choreography of martial arts can be compared with that quality of a martial arts flick! WHEN IS IT COMING ON????
Loved the show pls renew and let us know when it comes back on
Great show. I cannot wait for the new season.
I’ve enjoyed the action and the characters. I’ll be interested in whether they explore more of how the badlands came to be. Dramatizing its origins would get a lot of audience buy-in/buzz on where the show is heading or should head.
Its a quality show with so much room to grow. I’m so bored with the status quo
Please renew Into the Badlands a second season! My husband and I loved the first season and are anxiously awaiting a second season!
This type of show has been long overdue, no zombies, no vampires none of that crap. This show mixes martial-arts with a touch of feudal Japan, I am hoping AMC renews it.
Please!!!! PLEASE!!!! Bring this show back I wanna see them enter the Waste Lands like a harsher place then even The Bad Lands this show is so well written action packed and just fantastic!!There is so much they can still do with this show.This In fact is the only show that I feel had a few better opening episodes then The Walking Dead and that is coming from me a die hard Walking Dead Fan that has been watching since Oct 2010 when that show first began! PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!! I wanna see what demon is in the… Read more »
I love into the badlands and I hope it is renewed. It is a great show I would be ashamed if it isn’t
Have always loved martial arts since Bruce Lee. Really happy that someone decided to do this type of series. Extremely well done a nice change from the same old things. Glad that someone has stepped out of the box like was done with The Walking Dead. If it wasn’t for that show I wouldn’t even watch AMC. I don’t like being teased with a great story to have it jerked away. Hopefully the millions that liked the series won’t be disappointed.
Love everything about this series, needs more seasons, each episode leaves you wanting more
