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?
It’s a shame that this entertaining series was cancelled… Very enjoyable and a great escape which is certainly needed now. I was looking forward to this continuing saga and feel there should have been a grand finale. I feel I wasted my time starting the series without a
significant ending? Bring it back ASAP!

I was looking forward to session 3 and future sessions. Can’t believe that it has been canceled! We need to put this out there and get more people to weight in I know how everyone feel disappointment this was my favorite show on television. Please reconsider
Noooooo!!!! I loved this show!!!! Why are the demographics 18-49. People older than that watch more then they do!! I’m 50-70!! Need to change the demographic age group for making these decisions. Very disappointed this show is cancelled.

i agree great show
I loved the show and was eager for a season 3 of Knightfall. I am so disappointed. Wish they would reconsider.
Very, very sad and disappointing decision. Another season or two to bring a proper and logical end to the series would have been great. With any luck, maybe Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, or Disney+ will continue the series.
My wife and I were looking forward to season 3. Very disappointed since it was an excellent show with historical roots
Great show, but the History channel did Not promote it correctly. I waited all year for season 2 to start and then by accident I stumbled upon the 3rd show of season 2, at first I got so excited that it was back on and then I got pissed off at the History channel for not promoting it, I never saw one advertisement for season 2, and this is the reason for the low ratings, it’s as if the History channel wanted Knightfall to Fail before season 2 even started. What a shame, such Dynamite show, I loved everything about… Read more »
I loved this show,sorry that it won’t be returning.
I would very much like to see the series continued. Excellent program.
I am so disappoint ed. My husband and I really enjoyed this series. It was so much better than the “reality” shows that take up so much space on networks. We would definitely watch more of Knightfall if it is brought back.
I would of loved a 3rd season, so disappointed
I loved Knightfall and disappointed it won’t be back.
