The Shannara Chronicles are getting the axe
Bad news for fans of cable-based fantasy series—those who haven’t already had their appetites sated by all the other elf-and-sword-based entries currently populating the airwaves, anyway: THR reports that Spike has closed the book on The Shannara Chronicles. The Terry Brooks-based fantasy series ran for two seasons, with the first at MTV, and the second on Spike (now Paramount), chronicling the tale of good-hearted Wil Ohmsford (Austin Butler) and his efforts to stop the Four Lands from being overrun with demons and Warlock Lords and the like.
