(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 really hope this TV series continues on Netflix i love it so much and hoping to see so much more !!!! ❤️
I really hope Netflix picks this series up for another season. The show is really good. I didn’t even know it got moved to spike until recently. I feel like there wasn’t very good advertising for this show at all.
This show is sooooooooo good!!!!!! Please make a season three!
I really wanna watch season 3 on Netflix this is the best show ever
Please don’t cancel! Looking forward to season 3!
Please don’t cancel waiting on season 3. This show is so good. Another network needs to pick this up.
+1 for another season. Characters became more complicated and interesting as the seasons progressed. Let that continue.
Why does this **** always gotta happen to me I get into a series and it gets cancelled. I’m actually kind of pissed now. Great show. Directors and producers give up way to easily. Make another season! ****!
Please keep Shannara going. I read all the books and was happy a tv series based on them was created. Mistake not to keep going, sometimes it just takes a bit to warm up. Bad enough seasons seem short and too much time goes by in between.
I just streamed both seasons and love this show. I truly hope someone picks this up. I will be following to see.
It was a great show, Based on a great author and series of books. Hate how program directors kills shows like this. Flip the Channel, change the time slot. Doubled up the episodes to crap it out quicker. Fans like myself didn’t even know it was back on until halfway through the season (as short as it was doubled up episodes) They didn’t promote it or anything. They knew it would kill the show if they did this too it. Reminds me of when SciFi changed program director and they dumped all the scifi produced shows in favor of syndicated… Read more »
I love this show….haven’t watched mtv since the 80’s…. bummed if there’s no season 3.
Please someone take on season three!!! I
Love this series! And we are left on so much of the unknown.
I love the Shannara Chronicles and I think that Netflix should pick it up. I also think that if they wouldn’t have moved it from MTV it probably wouldn’t have lost its ratings.
Yesssss Netflix pick this show up! You won’t regret it!
Simple. You don’t let go of one of your winning purebreds. Ratings were impressive at MTV. The move to Spike was a set-up for failure and subsequent cancellation. Why? Speculation can yield so many possible motives. For now, there is a champion purebred roaming the forest…SyFy, ABC , NBC, AMC anyone?
This makes me sick. The show is awesome! I have read all Terry’s books a bazillion times, and I just LOVE how it is done in pictures! This is a wholesome series that sparks the imagination without all the usual gratuitous violence and sex. It is a well written and well adapted remake of the original tale. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!
This show is FANTASTIC….really good plot lines….please give us a Season 3
