(Spike TV)
Is there life left deep within the Ellcrys Tree? The upcoming Paramount Network has cancelled The Shannara Chronicles after two seasons. Reportedly the producer, Sonar Entertainment, is shopping season three of The Shannara Chronicles to other outlets. Shannara and its fans are used to moving. Despite the fact that its first season was the number one scripted series on MTV, parent company Viacom moved it to Spike TV for season two, ahead of that cable channel’s rebranding as Paramount Network, which happens this Thursday.
The Shannara Chronicles stars Austin Butler, Ivana Baquero, Manu Bennett, Aaron Jakubenko, Marcus Vanco, Vanessa Morgan, Malese Jow, Gentry White, Caroline Chikezie, and Desmond Chiam. When season two kicked off on Spike, chaos had overtaken the Four Lands, as a body called The Crimson began to hunt down magic users. For now, the season two finale, episode 2.10, “Blood” will serve as The Shannara Chronicles TV series finale.

I just can’t imagine who they asked for feedback/Nielsen ratings?! UGH! They did not ask me; that I can tell you! I freaking LOVE this series! Now I have to go watch season one and two again just to get a fix!
Please please pick up this show!!! It’s so good! The acting is flawless! My family loves it! The last episode was a huge cliffhanger and can’t end there. BRING IT BACK PEOLPE!!!!
Please…someone pick this show up. It needs to be told. I don’t care what channel or network just as long as I know it’s going to continue. Please!!!
Stop cancelling all the good shows!!
Love the show and everything about it. Almost as good as GoT. If you want people to watch it, give it to a network people watch. I’m really looking forward to seasons 3, 4 and more. There is so much to explore in the world of Shannara.
I loved this show. No one was safe and there is so much to explore
Never fails!! Every time I find a show I like, they cancel!! Come on man!!! Find another channel so I can watch this show already!!
So…move it to a network that people actually watch (one of the major networks like ABC, NBC, etc.:) We LOVE the stories and love the show!
Give it to Netflix and be done with it already! I want season 3 damn it!
Idc where it ends up just as long as i can watch it. I immediately loved this show and the way it end hints to another season so they cant leave us hanging. It need to be on FOX or NBC. Where more viewers could catch it. Now way it would be cancelled then!
Bring it back for season 3!!! I stumbled upon it on Netflix, otherwise I had not idea this show even existed. Maybe Netflix would be an option.
I only stumbled upon it too! How did I not know The Shannara’s were being portrayed in film!? It is one of my fav book series of all time! Bad bad advertising!
I had the same experience. Only thru Netflix was I able to watch it. I live in a third world part of the U.S. ofA. We have no cable, satellite, or major phone connection. I hope they bring this back to life. I made my grandsons swords so they could use their imagination instead of being programmed by a phone,tablet, or computer.
I agree with many people on here. I love the Shannara Chronicles. I think the network is the reason for the low ratings. They failed the series by not advertising enough. I happened to google it to just before the second season started, otherwise I would have missed it. I let my son know so he wouldn’t miss it. The lack of advertisement is the main problem for the low ratings. As some have said on here, they didn’t even know the second season had come out yet. It is an escape from real life problems and lets you enjoy… Read more »
I want season 3- the ratings went down because it was moved to a Chanel whose viewer base is much older and likes hard core sci-fi not fantasy, put it back on MTV. There is a large enough fan base to make a third season profitable.
Netflix should definitely pick this up, it would be a waste not too. Everyone I know is highly addicted and the second season didn’t disappoint at all! Love this show!!
I don’t usually like to leave comments on stuff like this but the Shannara Chronicles are amazing. The only time I ever saw advertising for it was when it was on MTV two years ago and I wouldn’t have known there was a season two if it wasn’t for Netflix! Now I’m in desperate need of a season 3 on a platform that cares about the show! Please someone take it on because it deserves another chance!
