What do you think? Did you watch the first season of The Shannara Chronicles TV show? Were you surprised it was renewed for a second season? Do you plan to return for season two on MTV? Let us know, below.
I am a long time fan of Terry Brooks Shannara books – have every one and have read them twice. I watched season 1 and was extremely disappointed.

Time well spent on the edge of my seat with my wife and five children enjoying The Shannara Chronicles season one episodes!
We’ve ALL been waiting to see when the journey will continue…
Great job cast and crew!
Thank you.
Loved all the books the show is based on and I thought the show was a fantastic production that I thoroughly enjoyed,I can’t wait for the new season to start.
I love this show!!! I’m so thrilled MTV is bringing SC back for round 2 in what I am sure will be an epic continuation of a visually stunning, action packed, well plotted, and perfectly executed scifi series!!! Much respect to creaters, writers, crew, and cast!!!
This was not a well plotted movie in my opinion. It was a very poor interpretation of the book.
