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 hope there is a way to save the show from cancellation. Or find a way to have it on another station.
I really love Seeker and hope it gets another season!
I’ll be gutted if they cancel this show. Save LOTS!
I love this show it is the best thing on tv right now. If they cancel it I don’t know what I will do. Keep Legend of the Seeker alive!
This is one of the best fantasy shows ever made. Smart and funny; taking its cue from a book series that is beautifully written. It would be a tragedy for the world of television – a tragedy that shows like Survivor and Steven Segal: Lawman are being made but Seeker gets cancelled.
Considering I haven’t seen a single promo for it except during the show itself, are they even surprised that the ratings are down? And where I live, it’s on a Saturday afternoon. How does it stack up against other things in that timeslot?
Seeker is one of the first shows I can watch with my whole family (from my elderly mother to my pre-teen goddaughter), that doesn’t dumb things down for the adults and can still be fun for the pre-teens and teenagers. I hope ABC studios can find a station to keep airing it.
It’s ridiculous to cancel a show that has won so many fans without any promotion/marketing. Get it some marketing and you’ll get ratings!
I hope they will pick it up for another season, the show deserves it
There is nothing else on the air right now that compares with this show. This one needs to stay for a long while!!
I love this show… Please, keep this one.
For a show that’s barely received any marketing/promotion/whatsoever and has been put on the most inconvient timeslots that kept changing per week, I say it’s pretty darn great that the episodes still gets about 2 million viewers on average!! Hopefully the likes of SyFy will pick it up. They can’t cancel this show :((
I love this show… There a few show on the CW that i like, and more than a few I don’t like! Keep this one! It airs Saturday nights here and that gives me something to look forward to.
F*ck, I love this show so much! It’s not even funny, It CAN’T be canceled!
mu sentiments exactly :'(
No! THis show should continue more than ever. It’s hasn’t even been maketed like it should, and it has a “famely ” quality that you just don’t find on TV these days. THe books are fabulous, and the show is also. They need to give these shows a chance to develop and not cut them off because they think no one wants to watch them. Well.. we do. So do something for once for the TV viewers that are intrested!!
Please, Please, Please dont cancel this wonderful, amazing, fun show!!! WE WANT SEASON 3 !!!
KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
No way,I love this show and it’s too fast for it to cancel, they can at-less promote it on SYFY or something.
