News of the fate of “Legend of the Seeker”, the syndicated fantasy series based on the Terry Goodkind novels, has kept fans on edge since word came last month that the Tribune Station Group had dropped the series. According to EW, “multiple sources” had reported that the Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert produced series had indeed been cancelled. ABC had reportedly shopped the show around but “they found no takers.”
Initially, writer and co-executive producer, Mike Sussman addressed fans in a tweet: “Everyone, please, chillax. #LegendOfTheSeeker has *not* been cancelled. Plans are going on for season three,” but that particular tweet has since been removed from Sussman’s Twitter profile.
Executive producer Kenneth Biller was asked about the final season two episodes:
“The last four episodes, I think, are going to be a really compelling and satisfying epic payoff to the quest that was set up at the very beginning of the season to the various conflicting prophecies that we have heard about Richard’s fate. The Seeker and the Mother Confessor will, in fact, find the Stone of Tears. The question is, will they be able to get it where it needs to be in time to save the Keeper from achieving his ultimate victory? They are going to find themselves with some very unlikely adversaries, as well as some very unlikely allies … and maybe there might be a wedding.”

UPDATE: ABC/Disney still has not made an official announcement of the status of the show, despite the negative outlook of EW’s “multiple sources”.
