The knights have fallen ahead of season three. History has cancelled the Knightfall TV show after two seasons and 18 episodes.
A Middle Ages drama, Knightfall tells the story of the Knights Templar. Mark Hamill joined the History drama for season two, with Tom Cullen, Pádraic Delaney, Ed Stoppard, Simon Merrells, Julian Ovenden, and Jim Carter returning. Also new in the second season are Genevieve Gaunt, Tom Forbes, and Clementine Nicholson. The series explores the secret world of these warrior monks. With the downfall of the Templar Order looming, season two focuses on themes including power, redemption, revenge, betrayal, family, and an epic war between church and state.
The second season of Knightfall averaged a 0.13 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 652,000 viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 48% and 47%, respectively. Knightfall is History‘s lowest-rated series. The last episode of season two aired nearly a year ago, on May 13, 2019.
History’s Project Blue Book has also been cancelled after two seasons so that leaves Vikings as the channel’s only remaining scripted series. That show is currently in its sixth and final season with the final 10 episodes still waiting to be scheduled.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Knightfall TV series? Would you have watched a third season?
Too sad. Was historically not too accurate but very entertaining. I would watch it if renewed.
Knightfall is a wonderful show. My husband and I were looking forward to Season3. Very disappointed.
Boooo!!!
Yet again another good show bites the dust.. but im sure its vacant airtime will be filled with something we all need to see such as more rehashed programs of old rehashed programs compiled from film which should have been left on the cutting room floor.
Why do they always cancel these good shows it’s very disappointing to see this is gone . I’m fed up with networks canceling good shows to put on those highly stupid and ridiculous realaty shoes they are a watts of time
I really enjoyed watching this show and learning about the Knights Templar. It always seems like the good shows get canceled
Really I love this show
It’s a damn shame to see it go……
Loved the show. Very disappointed.
Loved the show. 68 year old female. So sorry to hear this
Please, please, please don’t cancel Knightfall. There are so few shows like this and it’s fascinating. Been looking forward to Season 3. I’m not in your demographic, but at 72 there are few excellent shows to pick from, and Knightfall was one of the best!! I watch this with my 36 year old daughter, and trust me it does have an excellent following. PLEASE KEEP IT ON THE AIR!!
Damn shame and too shortsighted. Vikings was slow to pick-up and look what it became. There is a thirst for this type of historical drama and networks should embrace the commitment to see projects like this through to the end. During this COVID lockdown period, programmes like “Knightfall” could easily gain greater audience with a little promotion. One thing for sure, Netflix would not let a series like this die so quickly!! Once “Vikings finishes, not much reason to subscribe to “History Network“ anymore!
This is very disappointing. I loved Knightfall and my husband liked it as well. The primary Templar actor was great! I think the murder of his lover the queen during season 1 largely accounts for the drop off in viewers of season 2. Sad to know there won’t be any more episodes.
Sad. Loved that series. Way better than most on history channel. How many Adolf Hitler shows do you have to have?
So sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed this show
This is stupid, how many shows are airing by History that they wanted to cancel this?!
