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?

Legend of the Seeker is the best show on television right now and it absolutley needs to be re-newed for a third season and hopefully more than that. I can’t believe that Tribune gave this show up it is such a great show. I actually didn’t watch the first season because I had never heard of it. I then saw a copy of the first season on DVD at Best Buy and bought it and fell in love with this show. The second season is even better. ABC needs to keep the show going and start advertsing more about it… Read more »
I’m sick of liking shows on ABC every time i do they go and get rid of it!! i REALLY love seeker and i think this will be a last for watching ABC because all that will happen is ill like something then they will take it away still feeling the pinch after kyle xy too soon for them to do this again!!! oh that’s right i followed him to east wick… what happened to that now ABC?? hmmmm gone?? :-0 shock..
This show NEEDS to find a new home if WGN isn’t smart enough to renew it. This is really the only show of its kind on TV right now, and it is spectacular.
NO!!! PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!!! It should go on.
Please don’t cancel Legend of the Seeker! It is my favorite show in years. The writing is excellent, the characters are very engrossing. There isn’t another show like this on TV! I’ve been looking for a box set to buy.
i can’t wait for episode 14 of season 2… please renew for season 3! So far, all the TV series I follow gets a bad news to be cancelled but eventually gets renewed (CHUCK anyone?). So I am confident, this will get pick upm I want more of Kahlan.
i want Kahlan to she amazing. Ha i want more Zed to he lightens the show with his humor :). Man im praying for a season 3 i love the show.
And yes, I wantched them all in Netflix BTW. I cant want for March 20th. I want to be in their world. 🙂
I just had a marathon to pick up on all 35 episodes, now you are cancelling it? NOOOO!!!! I want more!
I’ve bought season 1, watched it on netflix first and now watch season 2 each week. I’m voting with my wallet, so if any studio exec out there has any sense (that may be an oxymoron) then there will be a season 3 and beyond.
Are you kidding me? I just invested in the Season 1 episode (DVD) and am anxious to purchase Season 2, 3 ,4 need I go on. I absolutely love the whole sword play, fantasy kind. Don’t kill it now. I can’t understand why there are no action figures, trading cards, stickers, toy swords etc. for this is what I live and breathe. Immersion in the genre, to combat the horrors (stresses) of everyday life. SAVE LOTS.
yes i definitely think they should keep the series alive and keep making it till the end of the series!!!! i love the show its AMAZING!!!!! and im going to buy the books ASAP!!!
keep it going!!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEAAASSSEEEEE DONT CANCEL IT!!!!
Yes they should make a season three of legend of the seeker i love that show it is very good please dont cancel it.
I’d be thrilled to see a third season, it’s the first show that’s held my attention in forever. Long live legend of the seeker!
Why would the Tribune consider canceling the creative, colossally entertaining and critically acclaimed Legend of the Seeker series? Does it know a legion of frenzied fans is currently sharpening their swords of truth in an attempt to find an antidote to this idiocy? Legend of the Seeker is the kind of high quality, visionary programming that made Disney loved and respected all over the world! As a teacher of middle school students, I was thrilled to learn that Mike Sussman’s team had adapted the wonderful works of New York Times best-selling author Terry Goodkind. What I love about both the… Read more »
Yes, I would really like to see it renewed as well. After the fisrst season I started reading the books and found them a really great read. And I think it is related to the fact that I allready have faces tot put to the names.
