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?

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssseeeeeeee don’t cancel……. awwwww please nooo please noooo….. this is the most exciting series…. all the other shows do the exact same thing
Best show on tv. I love Legend of the Seeker. I will be heart broken if it gets cancelled. I really hope another network picks it up.
I look forward to my Seeker fix every week. It will truly be a shame if they cancel it. However I cannot be optimistic most shows unless a reality show seldom last more than 2 seasons anymore and even then many are only partial seasons at that. I guess 2 full seasons is better than nothing.
Please don’t cancel my favorite show! It’s the only thing I look forward to on TV each week except for Vampire Diaries! Please! Get rid of some ridiculous realilty show instead!
I love the show and I thoroughly believe that it will only get better from here. Although I cannot forsee the future I can see that this show has a large fan base that may increase with the continuation of this beloved cultural phenomena. It would be a shame to close production on this program without at least giving it a proper send off or perhaps a second chance, too many good programs are cast aside by networks that prefer mindless dribble over substance. In closing lets continue to support Legends of the Seeker until our voices are heard and… Read more »
This series has great characters and an entertaining story. I look forward to it every week. I really hope it has not been cancelled.
