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 watched all 22 episodes ofthe first season in 2 days. I just started the second season today, but want to spread ot out so i don’t run through it so quickly. I even went out and picked up The Wizards First Rule, which is the first book in the 10 book series that the TV series is based off of. Like… Read more »
Please bring back the legend of the seeker. I found it very entertaining and I would have loved to see what would become of Kahlan and Richard. I also would have loved to see cara get to have a life and love, because she obviously was changing due to the impact that Richard, Kahlan and Zedd Had on her. She began to care about people and other living things. Cara was hurt when she thought the Nightwisp had died and was happy to see that the babies had indeed survied. This is why I would love to see what was… Read more »

I also think that if they had of kept more to the storyline that is in the books, with minute changes; they would have more viewers. I know they have to make ‘some’ changes, but to change it radically is a big mistake, and makes fans of Terry Goodkind’s masterpiece alittle upset. However, the casting and acting is superb. I had bought season 1, but I was so upset with the changes that were made to the storyline, that I just gave it away as a Christmas present. I was thinking about buying season 1 again and also buying season… Read more »
