Although there was some worry The Shannara Chronicles TV show would be cancelled by MTV, it was eventually renewed for a second season. Parent company Viacom then began shuffling programs between its stations (including BET, CMT, TV Land, VH1, and MTV) and announced Shannara was moving to Spike, which would rebrand as Paramount Network in the coming year. Whether the audience will follow all these twists and turns remains to be seen. Will The Shannara Chronicles be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A fantasy drama based on the Terry Brooks book series, 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 kicks off on Spike, chaos has overtaken the Four Lands. With the population afraid of the return of magic, a body called The Crimson does not hesitate to intimidate anyone as it hunts down magic users. Meanwhile, in the wake of his losses, Wil (Butler) forsakes his destiny, to become a healer. However, after the mysterious Mareth (Jow) saves him, he returns to the struggle. **Update below.

Plz plz plz renew this series on Spike Tv. Different works for this series. Thanks for such an amazing season. Extremely sad it had to end… Read more »
It could have gone up to ep24
I really like this show, I’ve read the books at least twice. I love this series as much as I love books. I think you need to go on with the third season, at least because of all those fans who are still enjoying watching this show. I am one of those fans and I will be very happy if The Shannara Chronicles continue.
I agree with Jim. I actually don’t watch The Shannara Chronicles on Spike. It’s great tv series. I love these transformation from good character to bad and vice versa, that is something really rare and we need to give another chance to this series, with another representator (not Spike). Renew it! 🙂
I really like this show. It’s something incredible 🙂 Please don’t cancel it. It is worth of watching.
I totally agree
Spike is doing this tv series an injustice. Clearly people don’t know that the Shannara Chronicles episodes are being shown back-to-back. That’s why the numbers in the second show of the night drop.
CANCEL this please!
If you don’t like the show, don’t watch it. Others do, so refrain from negative opinions.
Please renew. always loved the books and while the tv show is a little different. I think it works really really well.
I agree
Please cancel this show so we can see more Manu Bennett’s Deathstroke in Arrow. He is a great actor.
Even if the show was canceled how in any way shape or form would that result in Manu Bennett appearing more in Arrow? + 365 days in a year it definitely doesn’t take him all year to film the Shannara Chronicles.
Renew!!! It’s awesome!
RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great show. Love it. Terrible acting but a great storyline. I hope all these young, inexperienced actors who sound like they are literally reading from a book, don’t get the show canceled. Who ever is in charge of casting should have searched for talent instead of looks.
Why is this show still on the air? CLEARLY the ratings are bad cuz no one is watching. Horrible way to launch a new network.
Actually crazy how good this show is they should renew it for at least one more season when it’s gets on Netflix the ratings will go up just like riverdale
cancel this crappy show. No one’s watching anyway
ITS BEEN OFF TV FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS THAN THEY MOVE IT TO A DIFF CHANNEL FOR SOME REASON!!! NO WONDER THE RATINGS DROPPED SO BAD…. SEASON 2 WAS SOOO GOOD THOUGH! I HOPE IT GETS MORE ATTENTION.
