MTV is trying something new with the fantasy series The Shannara Chronicles. Will their gamble pay off and bring big ratings or will it flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set millennia in the future, The Shannara Chronicles follows three unlikely heroes — a human, an elf princess, and a human-elf — on their quest to thwart a demonic army. The cast includes Ivana Baquero, Manu Bennett, Emilia Burns, Austin Butler, Poppy Drayton, Aaron Jakubenko, Daniel MacPherson, and John Rhys-Davies.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like The Shannarra Chronicles TV show? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
The Shannara Chronicles is one of the worst book to film translations that I have ever seen.
Then you haven’t seen “Shadowhunters”. 🙂
I haven’t seen/read Shadowhunters. I can say I wouldn’t call The Shannara Cancellations an “adaptation” though. Not really sure what to call it to be honest, its more of a Wayans Bros. spoof version of Elfstones. That is really the closest comparison I can get, I’m really quite serious. Haha.
That was both witty and funny. I approve this message.
This show is one of the worst adaptations in recent memory. Unfortunately we may get a second season. It’s MTV second highest rated scripted tv show (that’s not saying much but MTV might have low standards)….and for some reason this show has an audience
I would have to agree with you. BTW is “Prime” from “The IT Crowd”?
Shadowhunters wasn’t great in the beginning, but it got really good around episode 5. Shannara didn’t ever get good (At least for me – the plot was so boring).
Please bring this show back..It is badass. Just saying you idiots that watch young girls gettin pregnant and having pointless drama filled lives and watching douche bags fist pumping like that **** is cool but wanna cut an actual bomb ass show? Ha dumb SEASON 2 forreal!
Hell yeah. Can’t wait for second season
Bring back this show. Excellent show!!!!
I Love This Show Please do Season 2!!!!
Looks like the webmaster at terry brook’s website closed the forums and closed comments on news items. Equivalent of taking your football home when the going gets tough. Long time TB fan but I am will be glad when this travesty sellout show is canned.
Thank you Greg for telling it like it is. This show is awful and the way the author/webmaster have handled the criticism from fans is shameful
Prime, thank you and I tend to agree. The whole thing is kind of strange, I mean there were a few obvious trolls, but there was actually very good discussion on why long time fans were disappointed. It was obvious unless one was going to praise the show your comments were not welcome. I lost a ton of respect for TB for this series but lost any remaining respect when they decided to stop discussion. TB can take his football and go home, I for one am not going to play football with him again. Big baby comes to mind.
Yes the way the site was handled is so odd. The game of thrones website has a forum called rant and rave without repercussions where fans can vent. This could’ve been done on Terry’s website but for some reason they couldn’t deal with criticism of a glaringly bad show. The real travesty is that a proper adaptation and beginning of Shannara franchise may never happen because of this. Hollywood rarely takes fantasy series seriously and this show is a setback.
I like Terry Brooks as an author but I feel that he was so desperate in getting his series converted to the screen he sold out. This had so much potential and honestly if I did not know the books then the series would be ok but there was no reason they could have not stuck to the books.
Yes please bring this back, we need this to be good for they will do Wheel of time by Robert Jordan. I like the cast in Shannara they did a good job picking the actors. Just need more viewers…..
Really sick of TV shows getting cancelled after S1!!!!
They should at least make it to S3… Give them a chance because there are people out here that are into it.
I have been reading Terry Brooks’ work since the early 80’s and have been a fan ever since. Now I have to qualify that and say I’m a fan of his written word since the TV show is a travesty. Let’s look at a few things they changed/added for TV: – The chosen aren’t really chosen…they run a blindfolded foot race to see who gets to serve the Elcrys. – Shea is Wil’s dead drunk dad instead of the hero grandfather from the books. – Trolls look like humans in hazmat suits. -The Dagda Mor is a fallen druid and… Read more »
You missed a big one. Ander being a drunk playboy. That one bothered me since it was the opposite of the character in the book. I don’t hate the show myself, but everything you’ve complained about is something my wife has had to hear me gripe about. Manu Bennett has be doing a great job with Allanon’s personality in my opinion, and that’s something worth mentioning I think.
Well said mark. I’ll take it one step further though. I just can’t see how anyone , reader or not can be a fan of this show. This shows plot line is all over the place. If demons are supposed to be such a threat why are Wil and Amberles main concern are elf hunters and trekkies? ? (Star trek really).. why do humans hate elves so much in the show….they made it a point to point that out but never explained….for that matter has the show mentioned that elves and humans are different species and that elves have been… Read more »
I really like the show and I hope it gets a second season oh and putting the two girls together “Princess Rover” now that is a ship I’d jump on in a hurry.
The Shannara Cancellations. (new title incoming)
What a disaster of a show.
Agreed. I was so looking forward to this show and , as you say, it is a disaster.
I read and own all of the Terry Brooks novels, absolutely love them and the show. I’m looking forward to watching the show for many seasons to come. It is bringing my favorite novels to life.
I’m a huge fan of the books and had mixed emotions at the start of the series. But now the show has grown into its own and I’m enjoying the storytelling despite the massive deviation from the original Elfstones book. I watching on the app as I’m sure many do, so the ratings only tell a partial story of the total viewership and success of the series. I am certainly hoping for a second season, I think Wishsong would provide even better source material now that the stage is set for a TV audience. I do however hope the writers… Read more »
Demo up a bit but viewership really dipped. I just don’t see this making it to another season. That’s a good thing though.
I LOVE this show!!!!!!! I even got my husband hooked on it and he HATES stuff like this. Please don’t cancel!!!!!!! It’s very odd to find a show that I desperately love, and be able to watch it with my husband. I swear, Tuesday nights are like our date nights watching this show.
Bring it back for season 2. One of the best series in years!
Bring it back I really like !!! thanks !!!
