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?

Wow… I guess, I’m going to have to be the bad guy and disagree with everyone else. ‘Legend of the Seeker’ needs to be cancelled. The show is terrible. I’ve never understood why Hollywood feels the need to change story lines when making movies or television shows. There is a reason those books are so popular. It’s one thing to add in more adventures to fill out a season, but it is something completely different to change the story itself. From the first time I saw the show, I was bothered by the many changes that Hollywood had made. So… Read more »
This is the best fantasy show to come along since Xena. Any moron can see that it will have a cult following, and canning it is a sure way to shoot yourself in the foot. Which means the guys at Tribune are probably too out of touch with their audience to actually care.
I think not, everybody loves this show. I live and breathe for this show. This show is a really good fantasy show.
keep spreading the word about the show!! and ABC do more advertising!!!!
me again!!! keep it going guys!!! we cant let the show get cancelled!!!

Obviously we need to convince ABC to find another avenue to broadcast the show. Writing ABC may help, I would urge everyone to do that. Send a letter. Don’t wait, be proactive. I also get a direct mailing of the new shows through ABC, you can too. Probably, though I don’t know this, they watch that numbers that view the program through that site. As to the Tribune stations, boycott them, don’t watch them. I disagree with others, you need to let them know that you are angry with them. Keep sending them e-mails. I also disagree with the notion… Read more »
The show has become better as each new episode has aired. Hate to see the only good fantasy show leave the air. I have bought season 1 DVDs and will buy season 2. Please keep it around for a 3rd season.

It’s the best show on television! We had a hard time buying the first season as it was sold out in the TampaBay Florida area, we finally found one. ABC should give this show a third season, we the fans are spreading the word about the show and it’s great cast! ABC spend a little money on advertising, we found the show by accident in 2009 and have been avid fans and supporters.
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE KEEP IT GOING TILL THE END!!! I WONT STOP POSTING COMMENTS TILL YOU REALIZE HOW GREAT IT IS!!!!
I love this show! please have a season 3!
I agree with you totaly i want a season 3. I love this show and would do everything (witch i have) to see it come true. Iv read so much fan mail and comments that i bet Tribune never even reads. They dont care about the fans or anything. Plus iv seen worst shows that have aired for like 5 to 6 seasons and they sucked. LOTS has given many people there imagenations back plus they teach kids about good morals. Wat more can you ask for. I love this show and want to see more and more and more.… Read more »
