The first season of The Shannara Chronicles is ending next week, and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar already have season two in mind. The two recently spoke with Collider about the series’ upcoming season one finale and their plans for season two of the MTV TV show.
The Shannara Chronicles stars Austin Butler, Poppy Drayton, and Ivana Baquero as three unlikely heroes on a quest to defeat a demonic army.
Speaking to Collider, Gough said the season one finale will have a sense of closure, but it will also leave room for another season:
Hopefully, it will be both. There’s certainly a sense of closure, but you see the doors open for subsequent seasons.”
Millar added:
We liked the idea that it was a contained season, following the story of theElfstones, and it has an amazing ending that’s a really bold way to end the season. But, it also opens it up for future seasons. We leave a lot of people in jeopardy.”
The season one finale of The Shannara Chronicles airs next Tuesday, March 1st, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

What do you think? Have you been watching the first season of The Shannara Chronicles? Do you want a second season?
Would love another season, but don’t dumb it down for the audience. The movie scene of Star Trek in the Utopia episode, honestly that film would have rotted thousands of years ago. (Since Shannara is thousands of years in our future). I can’t even play a VHS on my VCR anymore and it hasn’t gone through a nuclear holocast like Shannara has. And all the music equipment would have been dust. Build the world and trust us to believe it.
But ya, I’d watch another season bring it on.
Please God let there be many seasons to come
I want a second season, the ending tonight I cried it was so sad I can’t figure out what happens now that amberly is the tree. And who was the troll in the end. I have a guess… awsome show love it
Love Shannara chronicles! Really hoping for a 2nd season! 😀
I absolutely want a second season. So many questions left to answer. Will Ander become a successful king like his father? Will Amberlee ever “speak”. What is to happen when Will finds Eritrea? Who is behind the mask at the Troll compound? See please don’t leave us hanging.
Yes please! I want a second season. ..fantastic show!
Please renew!!!!!!!!! We love this show. Looking forward to see what Will and Allanon have in store for them. Manu Bennett is a great actor. Loved him in Spartacus and love him in this.
I want a second season. Please do another season. Every show I love gets cancelled.
I want a second season this is a great show. Please do another season everything I love gets cancelled.
I definitely want to see more seasons. Doing the other books, The Wishsong and The Sword of Shannara, would be awesome. I loved Manu Bennett as Crixus in Spartacus and now as Allanon. He fills the the role very well.
Manu Bennett WAS great!
He was good in Arrow as Deathstroke. Definitely a great actor. He was also good in the marine and the condemned even though they were smaller roles
I would have to agree with you – they cast Allanon very well, he meshes with his description from the books! There definitely needs to be a second season!
I love the show and this is the best show ever. Let see second season.
Loving it! Seriously hope it’s an ongoing show, really enjoying it
I love the books and I love the show. Bring on Season 2!
At first, I thought it was going to be some sort of girly show to compete with Shadowhunters, but I believe the show has a lot of potential. It had a great beginning, but then quickly it began to loose strength. It feels like they have tried to incorporate too many elements too quickly and the action seems to have seized. I hope the producers have an idea to incorporate a more menacing villain to season 2 and continue the story with our three main heroes. I praise the series location and special effects department. The show still needs more… Read more »
I was really unsure of what to expect when I found out that MTV was bringing Shannara to life. It’s a world I’ve loved for 30 years! I have to admit I was hooked by the 2nd episode. And I know the absolute purists will wave the banner of how different it is from the book, and it is indeed, but I’ve fallen in love with it. The scenery is amazing! Mankind gone for 2-3,000 years, and yes, that’s what will be left, all those ruins we see. That blew my mind during the opening credits of the first episode.… Read more »
If I remember correctly, Terry had a hand in the screen adaptation.
