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?

Cancel this show is a crazy thing. Legend of the Seeker is the best show ever. Fantasy, magic, loyalty, friendship, love, action… The actors are great and the episode are better and better.
do keep this show on!!! i just discovered it and it would really be a shame if it stops at season 2. i don’t watch tv or films much but this certainly got me glued!
Legend of the Seeker is one of the best shows on television! It is so much fun to watch. The scenery is so beautiful. The actors are fantastic! And the story-lines are just plain entertaining. I hope it is picked up for another season. There really is nothing like it on TV today.
I spent a jam pact weekend watching the fist episodes. as previously mentioned I grew up with Disney magic. Holidays spent in his World from age 7 to 18. I dreamed of of working in college there-side traped. loved going behind the seans in a child program.

I love Seeker, even if we only get it months later. It’s still the only show I watch EVERY WEEK!! <3
OMG!!! They better not cancel this show. This show is one of the best shows on TV Period!!! I started watching it thanks to Netflix. I had never heard of the show and figured what the hell, I’ll give it a shot. By the 4th episode I was hooked. Watched the whole first season in 2 days. PLEASE DISNEY…. Don’t cancel this show!!! Put it on the disney channel late at night or something… First 24 is ending and now I read this.. I think the end of the world is near!!!
Legend of the Seeker is a fresh change and a welcome break from all the High School -based TV series we’ve been having. I hope ABC renews it for a few more season, until all 11 books are covered. We love the series here in Asia, too! 🙂
I really hope that they continue to make Legend of the Seeker. It is a breath of fresh air in a world filled with reality and petty drama shows. The cinematography and scenery are breathtaking. The acting is very well done and the story is superb. The music and effects are also very good. But more importantly this show is one of the few I’ve ever seen that provides good entertainment as well as substance. Few shows today deal with moral issues as seriously as Legend of the Seeker does. I think that it can actually make some kind of… Read more »

THIS IS MY SHOW ON
Please don’t cancel the show…So few good shows on T.V.
Legend of the Seeker is the best!!!
Third Season!!!
OMIGOD – I cant take it anymore. Everyone who is dissing this show because it is not like the book should be calm for a minute and assess exactly the magnitude of bringing Goodkind’s work to life. The task would be enormous and extremely costly. LOTS is made a a very small amount of money for a tv show. Seriously it has a much smaller budget than THE OFFICE or COMMUNITY and those shows dont need special effects and have the same set all the time. If this show had a decent amount of money put into it I am… Read more »
You are so right! The books are FANTASTIC, of course. That is the only reason that it was even made in to a TV show in the first place. But, they have done a great job of adapting the story for TV, and the show is the only reason that I picked up the books in the first place. If any thing, I think that watching the show made me love the books even more!
I wake up at 2:00 a.m. Sunday morning to watch this show!!!! It is a great show and needs to be seen in a good time slot, Tennessee!!!!
I love the legend of the seeker and even though we dont get it until after the United States do, it would be a real shame if they don’t carry it on.
