What’s This TV Show About?
A History Middle Ages drama, Knightfall tells the story of the Knights Templar.

Also new in the second season are Genevieve Gaunt, Tom Forbes, and Clementine Nicholson. The series explores the secret world of these warrior monks.

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. Find out how Knightfall stacks up against other History TV shows.
Knightfall has been cancelled, so there will not be a third season. Could this series be revived someday?
Telly’s Take
Will Knightfall be cancelled or renewed for season three on History? The ratings are way down but this channel has so few scripted series, it’s difficult to tell what numbers they consider to be high enough for a renewal. It’s their lowest-rated scripted series so I’m inclined to think it’s toast. I’ll update this page with new developments. Subscribe for free alerts on any Knightfall cancellation and renewal news.

What do you think? Are you sad that Knightfall has been cancelled? Were you hoping this series would be renewed for a third season?
Knightfall is a great show, please bring it back for a third season!
Knightfall is a historical and entertaining drama filled with plenty of romance and action. I look forward to season 3.
Knightfall is a great show, depicting the war between the church and the state. This program should be renewed.
This has become our favorite show
The story line can go in many, many directions. With the Templars firmly in myth, lore and fact, creativity can run the gamut!
It’s pretty upsetting that the ratings dropped hugely to the first season as, in my opinion, this is so much better. I think the writers realised what they did wrong in the first season and improved hugely. Forgetting about the grail & it’s note was a good move.
Please renew Knightfall for a third season!
Great history lesson.
Keep up the Great Work
It was a great History lesson. Keep up the great work!
Season 2 was great. Good history lesson. Keep it going!
Please don’t cancel Knightfall. I love the show !! You already are going to cancel “The Viking” which is another period piece I loved. So please bring us Season 3.
Please keep Knightfall. This was the best season yet! There is still a lot of story to tell, this could end up being one of History Channels best series.
I don’t ask for alot.. so I am now calling in all my favors! I need season 3 in my life. And 4 & 5 & 6. There is so much more that needs to be told.
Not sure why it would be canceled. Show is great. Acting is great. I anticipate the show from season to season. It should be renewed for another season as the story continues. There’s king Phillip’s daughter and her future in England and let’s not forgot his son and his revenge and his weasel counselor.
I am a former history teacher and while Knightfall takes liberties with the recorded history of the Templars, it is fun to watch. A season 3 could deal with the legend of Templars aiding King Robert the Bruce against England. TAKE THAT She-Wolf of France!!!!
There is more to the story and we are eagerly awaiting fir season 3. DONT CANCEL!! Fans want season 3 and 4.
