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?
Yes, there needs to be a second season, though I hope it’s not in some desert wasteland like Mad Max.
needs another 6 eps to round up the story line but anymore and they be milking it! and I do like it. Is anyone really named Aramis Knight? Sounds like a pornstar pseudo!
Love this show. I keep king to see if it has ben renewed, come on it would be nice to keep a good show running. The acting is so good and I really like were it is headed, finally a show that ended with me going oh no you didn’t, I need more!
Great show please come back
cant wait fr the new season 2, the characters like baron, mk , sanny and the widow are something else
Another good series going but AMC keeps up w/the stupid other shows I hate…I’m a martial arts fan since Bruce Lee, I only discovered Badlands since I got cable back & Mr Wu is my favorite & he is one bad ass actor/martial arts fighter…AMC y’all don’t know what good is to take away something people are really interested in…not a lot of us like stupid shows that have to do w/drug dealing, crooked lawyers & etc…y’all are pathetic I’m looking forward to knowing what happens next to the widow/barron & the baby…PLEASE!!!! KEEP IT On
Excellent martial arts series with an actual plot and storyline. Romance, drama and hope. Give it time. Others will jump on board after hearing friends talk highly of the series.
Even better then Walking Dead. The story moves fast and there are so many directions for it to go, I believe it could run forever. It could easily be made into a movie. The first season left everyone wanting more and with so many questions left unanswered there NEEDS to be more. A second season MUST happen. I may start recording them so I can watch them all at once because a week is too long to wait. I don’t know how I’ll get by until season 2, but their better be one. There is so few shows on television… Read more »
