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?

Legend of the Seeker is such a well-crafted show from acting to directings, the craftsppl & everyone else I’m not mentioning. Please @ABC @Disney renew the show for Season 3. The affiliates on the East Coast & MidWest apparently pre-empt the show pretty routinely. I live in California where it airs consistently every Saturday on @KICU and on @WGNAmerica at different times. Pls. renew! Excellent show:)
It seems all of the intelligent shows get cancelled, while we are left with American Idiots or Survival of the Dumbest.
LoS has been one of the Gems, and I suspect it would have tremendous ratings with a real network and a better time slot behind it. Please don’t let this one die.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeee, please let the show stay! THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!!!!!!
Please, please do not cancel this show…It’s a show that a family can watch, or anyone…can’t SyFy pick this show up?!?!?!?!?! You can keep crappy shows on, but not something great like L.O.T.S.?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible. ABC does one thing different, one thing new and amazing and it gets cancelled!!! I love LOST and with it ending I need LEGEND OF THE SEEKER. I need this show. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was just catching up with the season today and I find out its being cut. NO!
If you don’t want the show canceled write Disney/ABC Domestic Television and the TV channels that carry the program and let them know. Don’t wait until its too late, be proactive
Do you have an email to email them directly?
Please do not cancel. I watch this show every Saturday.
YES please keep this show. This show was based on one of fantasy’s greatest book series. Terry Goodkind ranks in the top ten for best fantasy authors in the world. As for the show, everything about it i love. It has gone for great to even better. I was worried about season two when it first started, because of how the book went i wondered how they were going to put this into play. BUT it was still good and the best part of the seeker’s story hasn’t even started. GIVE IT A CHANCE! The real in depth story of… Read more »
A fantastic show… One our whole family and extended friend network watches and re-watches (on the first season DVDs and Hulu.) Keep this one going on Sci-Fi or somewhere it’s GREAT!
This is one show that deserves to stay on. Original and captivating. ABC, find it a home!
How could you ever consider canceling The Seeker? It is one of the only best series on TV, ever seen! And it just keeps getting better- you WILL have more viewers. Craig Parker is an unbeleivable actor, and will go far.
Another decent show in jeopardy. Why am I surprised. I love this show. Pick it up for another season.
it used to air on the Sci-Fy network. Did it move to another?
It’s really a shame it’s likely to get canceled. I do hope another network picks it up though but with the ratings it has, I don’t see any major network picking it up. Yes 2 million is good but when some of the other shows are doing at least 4+ million [not all but some of them], it really is going to need to double. The problem is people are watching it through dvrs or online instead of on tv and its not really getting the ratings it needs. With the way the series is going, you can tell that… Read more »
Hi i’m from sweden and for me this is one of the best serier i ever seen.This show is too good to cancel I think that legend of the seeker should definately be renewed for a third season. But The show hasn’t been cancelled yet, So despite all the worry about the renewal we should not lose our spirit; even if there’s not a season 3, we still have some episodes left in this season and we should enjoy them in the fullest.
