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?

It would be a complete miscarriage of justice if Legend of the Seeker was axed! I don’t watch much TV, but this series has got to be the best being aired at the moment. I look forward to watching this each week and would be absolutely gutted if it was axed. The characters are believable and the whole programme keeps both myself and my daughter spellbound for the whole time that it’s on. It’s truly sensational and an absolute credit to the writers, directors, actors and everybody else who have worked so hard on it – it’s a shame more… Read more »
l.o.t.s is 1 of the best tv shows around roll on season 3 and 4 a nd 5 and 6
Keep Legend of the Seeker going! It’s an awesome show! True, it’s not The Sword of Truth series that the producers claimed that it was going to be, but STILL it is great in it’s own right. The way that the writers take elements from throughout the TSoT series, and patch it together into new and inventive ways for the LoTS series is brilliant! There’s 7 books to the TSoT series…so there ought to be 7 seasons for the LoTS T.V. series! Long live The Seeker!
I’m going to remain optimist after reading the exec. Producer Mike S. Said not to worry, so I won’t. I’m going to write my letter today 🙂
The Legend of the Seeker is the best series on tv. It should definitely NOT be cancelled. I would love to see it run another 8 seasons. Please renew Seeker.
This reminds me of the show Firefly and when it got canceled, because it’s an amazing show that will probably catch on after it’s gone. This is one of a very few shows I look forward to. There is so much **** on that channel like Gossip Girl and 90120 they should switch the time slots of those shows with Legend of the Seeker and see how it does then.
I dont have much to say, but i have been watching this show episode after episode on netflix. This is a great show, and one of a kind. I do not watch much tv now days, and the reason for that is because the quality of shows has drastically dropped over the years. This is the first show I have been a fan of since hercules.
I dont understand how they can be that worried about ratings when new episodes air on Saturdays. I didn’t even know about the show until a month ago because of when the show is aired. There’s a reason why popular shows air on weeknights and not on Saturdays and I think this show would be very popular if they would air it on weeknights.
Keep this series alive! The promotion of this series by
I’m not surprised, but I will be quite upset if they do cancel. I look forward to this show, and although I do not watch it on TV I actually purchase each episode on Itunes the day after airing! I’m actually contributing money. I already bought season 1 on dvd. It’s depressing! I don’t enjoy much else on TV these days, although Fringe is a show I suggest checking out if you like LOTS. I think the future of Fringe was in question for a few months, but it’s on for season 3. So I am hoping and praying that… Read more »
Legend of the Seeker is the best show on television today and it would terrible for it to be canceled before it even had a chance to really get going. Tab joined the cast this season and I absolutely love her character! We also have to see a lot of things from the books. Let’s keep writing to everyone telling them how much we love this show – ABC/Disney, sponsors of the show, Syfy, and anyone else you can think of!
This decision doesn’t surprise me in the least and in all honesty I am surprised that it didn’t happen sooner. While it isn’t 100% official yet I have no doubt that it will be very soon. I say this not because this is a crappy show. In fact on the contrary, it really is a fantastic show with great writing and absolutely perfect casting. I say this because the best shows or more importantly the distinctive shows that have a lot of originality always seemed to get axed quickly while the worthless, unimaginative tripe that litters almost every channel out… Read more »
Marketing is a big issue with me. The syndicated affiliates seem to put new programming on at the strangest times: 1 a.m. in the morning, 11 p.m. at night, TV14 at 7 p.m. and then when schedules are checked — changed!! It is a great series with superb actors. Proper consistent support is the least this quality program deserves. SOS – Save our Seeker needs your positive, respectful comments in writing real letters to your station managers, programming, and to sponsors. Advertising is part of the financial support system. If I use or like the product I make sure I… Read more »
