While the second season of Legend of the Seeker is still airing, a significant decision has already been made about the possibility of season three.
Legend of the Seeker is a fantasy series about a young woodsman (Craig Horner) who discovers he is actually destined to be a heroic Seeker. The series also stars Bridget Regan, Bruce Spence, Craig Parker, and Kevin J. Wilson.
The show is produced by ABC Studios and airs in syndication, primarily running on stations owned by the Tribune Company. The show debuted on November 1, 2008 and was renewed for second season after just 10 episodes had aired.
Season two kicked off on November 7, 2009 and now, after 13 episodes have aired, Tribune has decided they’ve had enough. According to KsiteTV and a representative of Tribune, the show’s ratings haven’t been good enough for them to renew Legend of the Seeker for season three.

While ABC has not made an announcement that the show has been cancelled, the Tribune Company represents a large percentage of stations that carry the series. ABC will have to do a lot of legwork to get it picked up by enough other stations.
The big questions are if the ratings are good enough for other stations to want to pick up the show and if the revenue will warrant ABC keeping the show going.
Co-Executive Producer Mike Sussman isn’t ready to give up just yet. Yesterday, he twittered a photo his show’s hero with his favorite Mark Twain quote, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
The remaining episodes of season two kick off on March 20th.
What do you think? Should Legend of the Seeker survive to see a third season?

With the smallest amount of promotion this show could be huge! Once people FIND it, they LOVE it!! Why? Because it is top notch acting, writing, directing, special effects…heck, it WON an EMMY it’s FIRST Season for MUSIC!! PLEASE don’t give up on this wonderfuly story and show!! There’s nothing else like it!!
Save Our Seeker!
Please Don’t Cancel it!
I think it shouldn’t be cancelled. Part of the problem (in my opinion) is that many don’t know that the show exists (at least where I live) because it comes on at 2 in the morning. Give it a decent time slot and I’m certain more people would watch. I just discovered it a week ago and my friends and I are already hooked.
Absolutely! It is only getting better and more people are finally discovering it. If it aired at better times and had any real promotion, it would definitely see even higher ratings.
Why do they always decide to dump the good shows?
I LOVE LOTS!! I acctually have a reason to watch TV now! And this is the only show I have ever scene that has brought together a bunch of fans to fight for it! And it is the only show that has prompted me to acctually join and online fan-stite!
SAVE OUR SEEKER!!!
This is the only show of its kind on TV today. Many people are sick of reality shows that are being forced on them. Legend of the Seeker is great family fun. What with movies like the Prince of Persia and Clash of the Titans coming out, people will have a renewed interest in fantasy and high adventure. Despite the fact that the stations that carried it did not advertise it well and put it on at bad times, its fan base is growing world wide. Give it the breath of life it deserves and watch it grow.
Legend of the Seeker is one of the best shows on the air. The journey has only just begun on it. Cancelling it now would be a huge mistake. There are still so many people finding the show and those who have yet to find it. It has to stay on the air. SOS: Save Our Seeker!
This is the best show on television right now… It must be saved! By ABC, by SyFy, by SOMEONE… It’s constantly drawing in millions of viewers with little to no promotion, imagine what it could do with a channel that actually champions it! Please, save the Seeker!
The BEST fantasy show, really.
Please, season 3
I’m heartbroken, I love this series!
They can not cancel this show! Tons of awful programs that get renewed every season so to lose something as entertaining and engaging as Seeker would be a travesty. The characters are amazing, the cast is amazing, and I love the story! I hope another network realizes the Tribune’s wasted potential.
This show is, hands down, one of the best things on TV today, and keeps getting better! It
This is the BEST show on TV!!! DO NOT CANCEL IT!! This show gets next to ZERO promotion but has over 2 million views each week!! All by word of mouth! PLEASE keep it going. There is nothing else like it on TV. And YES, replace Lost! with LotS!!
Save our seeker!
YES!! From what I’ve seen it’s only growing in popularity! If anyone did any kind of promotion for the show it could be even bigger. The fan base is STRONG and very loyal. ABC should add it to their own line up. Replace LOST WITH LOTS!
