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.

Not surprised by the ratings, last year was bad… this is just horrible ratings… someone is taking a massive hit. They should have stuck with the source material instead of this stupid strange teen direction. Books are great… this show is lame. imo Read the books… dump the show.
Please renew series !!! I neeed season 3
Please make a third season. I’m really looking forward to watching it. Great show
Please please please renew this show!!!!
Renew…a little cheesy but still a great show
Love this show please make season 3.
Renew this show, for all the fans that are waiting for it to continue
I am not really sure who will actually read my comment but i reckon that the show MUST be continued! I do love some of the new characters and creators really made a freat job of season 2. Do you hear me? WE NEED SEASON 3!!!
I like the Shannara Chronicles and want to see a season three. Season two really had a lot more action then season one. In fact a massive improvement over season one. I read all the books years ago and the TV show brings back a action lot of good memoris
Please continue!!! The 1st season was only ok but the 2nd was so great 🙂
It really got me and I couldn’t wait for the next episodes to come.
People don’t even know about the show it needs more advertisement, brilliant show renew, renew, renew.
Love the show! I’ve seen every episode the day of! I hope Paramount notices more people watched the first show not knowing it was back to back! Finale was excellent. I want to know if they find Will! RENEW PLEASE!
I would not watch this show if it came back. All my friends and I did not enjoy this season and watched sparingly. Cancel this.
show had potential but in the end, wasnt great. looks like they spent so much money on this show for nothing. cancel it. lame. i wont watch again.
