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?

Please renew Legend of the Seeker. It is such a great show! It would be a shame to cancel it now. Give it another chance by moving it to a different day and time slot! 5 p.m. on Saturdays is such an awful time (New York).
I absolutely love this TV show, I found it on Netflix, caught myself up, and now reallyy want the show to keep going. It better keep going….
It must be saved!
I just discovered this show and fell in love with the characters from the first scene. It is just amazing. I hang on every word. I so wish I could live in their make believe world. I would definitely be Kahlan. Here’s to hoping there is a season 3 and many more seasons after that.
this is one of the best show on tv i watch it every weekend never missied and episode
This is an awesome show with great acting. Sometimes the writing isn’t that great, but other times it’s spot on. If this show had less episodes with the same budget, then the content would be even better.
Seriously though, I think every character in SEEKER does a freaking amazing job and SEEKER is the best show on television. – whats sad is that is could be even better. -Best ensemble I have ever seen
Why would they have enough of the best show on television? Seriously this show has one of the best casts I’ve seen and as a fan of the Sword of Truth series I cannot see anyone else in the roles of Richard, Kahlan, and Zed… the show may not be going exactly as the novels did but the spirit of the novels is very much present in the show. I too bought the DVD of the first season and enjoyed watching it during the last 2 weekends as well as TiVoed second season shows.
I don’t know if this means anything my local ABC station just Picked it up. I wonder do people watching Online and else were hurt the show? All they care about are TV ratings.
Have 7 die hard fans here…but its hit or miss if the show is aired each week (Florida market) we also watch on netflix. Find a station to air all the time…and watch the ratings grow.
I adore sword and wizard epics. There just are not enough fantasy shows on T.V! Please renew Legend of the Seeker.
How can the company make such a decision? For me, the only time it airs is 11:45 p.m. on Sunday night here in New England. It is available on WGN on Saturday at 5:00 p.m., but only if you provider has WGN. Kind of a tough way to get a following. Maybe they should try to get on the SciFi channel. My family loves it! We watch it through Netflix so we aren’t limited to the channel/time restriction.
I love this show. I have limited time to watch TV and I have dumped Lost to watch this instead. This, Fringe and Castle are the best things on TV right now.
I love legend of the seeker ,as of right now I’m reading the book and watching the show .so please let their be a season 3.
I think legend is great and i watch every week and have done since it started in the uk i hope there is a 3rd series
i love legend of the seeker its the best show ever
