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?

I don’t watch much television anymore. You get attached to a show and after only a few episodes, the networks will pull the plug, stating that there weren’t eniough viewers to warrant showing the rest and/or making anymore. Well what about the viewers that faithfully tuned in every week, would record it on their DVRs or rent the DVDs when finally released? What happened to loyalty these days? What about giving time to allow word of mouth to spread and not moving shows around to different time slots may help. Though that last bit didn’t apply to Legend of the… Read more »
Love the show!!!!!
Please keep it going!!!!!
Wow, when I heard this one it blew my mind.How can u not make a season 3 after the way the second season ended??please keep the show GOING!!!!!!!!!
Legend of the Seeker is AWESOME – good entertainment!! Not the regular “reality” TV that is no more real than fantasy shows like “Seeker”. I love the action, the themes of good vs evil, the character interactions and of course the wonderful New Zealand landscape. I’m really disapointed it is cancelled – won’t some other network pick it up? It entertaining and isn’t that what TV is supposed to be.
I absolutely love Legend of the Seeker and I think it should definitely come back for a third season!!!!! The show is amazing and full of adventure and humor and romance. It’s just brilliant.!!!!!!
This show is awesome. Please bring it back for Season 3!
I don’t watch many shows, but I loved this show. I am someone who can’t watch something too campy like Xena and Herc, but this show was edgier, more adult, more sophisticated and still great fun, and exciting.
I think a lot of folks are watching this online on Netflix, Hulu and such, and the numbers don’t show a lot of the audience. I have satellite but I don’t get this show on TV.
I really hope thy bring this back for season 3!
Please bring Legend of the Seeker back another year. I only found it this last year.
Typical of ABC,did the same with kyle xy, and now legend of the seeker!So unfair.
I LOVE THIS SHOW! THEY CAN’T CANCEL IT!! IT’S LIKE THE ONLY SHOW I WATCH AND IT’S AMAZING!!!
yes absolutely legennd of the seeker should be saved..it is entertaining and if given a fair time slot and regular time to gropw i think personally it could and would flourish.
No this show is to good to end. It is one of the best shows on tv. Please don’t end it.
