(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.

What do you think? Are you a fan of The Shannara Chronicles TV series? Will another network pick up the third season? Where would you like to see The Shannara Chronicles land?
someone contact netflix, maybe they can take it 🙁
I thought the series was excellent and undeserving of the channels they aired on. This sort of show would be much more successful on either The CW or video streaming networks such as Netflix or Hulu.
Please make season 3 , I watched this on MTV when it first came out , and then had to wait till Netflix to see season 2 please don’t stop I want to keep watching following this series
Shocked. I didn’t read the books, so I didn’t havent any preconceptions. I thought it was great and was looking forward to season 3. It has a fantastic cast, it’s polished, classy with a sense of nostalgia. If you compare it to others, such as the shadow hunters which is dire. I just don’t get if. I really Hope Prime see the potential and pick this up as they did with Expanse. Yours disappointed fan.
I thought it was a great and exciting series to watch and I was gutted to find out a third series wasn’t coming out. Especially because we know will is still alive
Pls bring season 3 this is an amazing show you can’t leave us like this with no season 3 pls
Loved the shannara Chronicles if anything put session 3 on Netflix
That’s a great idea
PLEASE BRING IT BACK FOR SEASON 3!!!! IT IS SUCH AN AMAZING SHOW. You can’t leave us with “Will is still alive” AND NOT BRING IT BACK!!!! COME THE HELL ON!
Just got done watching both seasons and I honestly thought it was a good show I hope they make a third season
The Shannara Chronicles is a highly imaginative series based off of books written by a creative author. Unfortunately it was moved to a network that does not have high ratings for this type of show. The Spike network has an audience that prefers stories rooted in history such as deadliest warrior or comedies that make fun of life and stupid people in it, such as 1000 ways to die. The Spike Network has never been a creative sci-fi fantasy producer and moving the Shannara Chronicles to it’s network was a major mistake. Unfortunately ratings mean more in the world of… Read more »
