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?
I do hope that season three will be forthcoming!! Many of us have a lot invested in this show and love it and to stop now would be just wrong!!
First series was ok but the second had me hooked the production was far better more gritty mark hamill was great.
really disapointed it was cancelled too many loose ends to tie up
Who is landry
What was hidden in the grail
What happened to talus
Etc… arrgh!
Loved this show. Discovered the show on Netflix and couldn’t wait for season 3. This is really disappointing news.
Absolutely loved it. Not many shows in this genre to watch and this one was well written and acted. Guess it’s down to boring dramas or reality tv. Thanks History channel.
I loved the show, and I am in the older demographic. I hope they change their minds and bring it back.
Yes, I have watched the series twice. I was hoping for a third season, even though I saw the ratings had gone done for the second. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Knightfall….
Loved Knightfall!! Great acting, scenery, was looking forward to a season 3!!
It’s a shame that the show got cancelled, great acting. I was really looking forward to season 3. Added to that bad news, Project Blue Book also gets cancelled. What’s going on? Why can’t comedy and reality shows get cancelled instead?
Knightfall was my husband and I favorite show. Very disappointed it’s been cancelled
Was soo looking forward to season 3 of Nightfall!
Don’t cancel Project Bluebook!
so sad to hear this is canceled, was one of my favorites . not many shows worth watching on tv anymore.Can’t stand all these reality shows , they are rather stupid !!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I would have watched another season of Nightfall.
I too am not in the 18-49 demographic at 58 years. I loved the show. I think it takes an older person with a knowledge of history to appreciate the show.
History Channel, this is truly a History type show. Don’t cancel it or others won’t be able to learn from it.
You also just cancelled Project Bluebook after just 2 seasons. Give these series another chance. Vikings is also finished after this year and History Channel will have no original programming?
Found this via streaming – great show!!!! Don’t cancel!!
