So let’s support our girl, who is without doubt one of the finest actresses working today!

I wrote to my sources and while everyone involved appreciates all the effort that people have been putting in to getting Legend a third season, the show is canceled and nothing short of divine intervention will save it. At this point, there is nothing that we, as fans, can do to have it brought back. I’m told that considering the impact the economy had on local stations, we’re lucky that Seeker lasted as long as it did. They knew the final episodes of this season might have to serve as the series finale so we will get some closure in these last few episodes. But this really is the end for the show.

I’m sorry guys, if there was even a small chance the show could be saved we’d jump all over it.

We’ve unsticked our Save the Seeker post from the top of the page, but it’s still in existence here if you wish to keep on writing: http://herblueeyes.com/2010/02/05/help-legend-of-the-seeker-get-a-3rd-season/

Chris and I would like to thank everyone who wrote to their local stations and to ABC Studios for all their work and dedication to the show and we hope to keep seeing you around the site.

I know that those of you who have emailed Tribune are getting back letters saying that the show has been canceled, but that isn’t correct. What they should be saying is that they have decided not to purchase a third season. Nothing says we can’t try and change their mind.

What all of this means for us is that we should keep writing (and sending persimmons) to Tribune, ABC, and our local Seeker showing stations. As always, actual physical letters are better then email. I know we’re all passionate about the show but please be nice and courteous in your letters. Let them know that you love the show and you’d hate to see it go. Also, buying the show on on DVD and iTunes is a WONDERFUL way to show your support as those numbers are closely watched.

At this point, ABC isn’t shopping Legend of the Seeker around to other networks so writing to SyFy or other stations isn’t really going to do us any good. If that changes we’ll let you know but there’s no point in wasting our resources on something that won’t help us.

Don’t know what to write? Then use a postcard! Speckles over on LiveJournal has created and collected a few postcards for people to use. http://community.livejournal.com/speckle_dots/20828.html (Thanks Alessia!)

To the Programming Director:

I am a loyal viewer of the show Legend of the Seeker. It is my hope that this show will be renewed for a third season. Legend of the Seeker fills the void in fantasy television left when Xena: The Warrior Princess ended. As the creators of that hugely successful show, the individuals behind Legend of the Seeker are uniquely qualified to bring exactly that kind of entertainment to the many people who enjoy such programming.

I believe that Legend of the Seeker can become an even bigger success in its third season than it already is, given the proper promotion. An improved time slot would be nice as well. There is a large audience for fantasy, as proven by the aforementioned Xena, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and the incredible success of the Lord of the Rings films.

It is deeply appreciated that you have been bringing Legend of the Seeker to me and many others in its first 2 seasons. This program already delights people worldwide and surely a third season would find even more fans discovering  it and becoming as enchanted by the magic, romance and drama of Seeker as I am. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

___________________________ Signature

You guys are just too awesome. Everyone on “Legend of the Seeker” is so very grateful for all the love and support.

So. I’ve gotten a lot of questions from people, asking what they can do to help make sure we get a 3rd season.

If you live in the U.S., a letter to your local station is probably the best way to show your support. In the U.S., these stations need to know that people are watching “Seeker” and want more of it – and if the show is on at an inconvenient time, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to also ask them to put us on in a better time slot, too! Better times means more viewers.

If you’ve already written to your local station, you can also show your support by sending a letter to Disney-ABC Domestic Television –

If you’re really hard core, you could also write to ABC Studios –

International folks who want to help should write to whatever broadcaster/network/station airs LOTS in their local area. The international audience is a big chunk of our viewership so it’s important you be heard from. If you’re an international viewer, and you’ve already written to your local “Seeker” broadcaster, a second letter to ABC Studios would also be helpful.

If you’ve been thinking of buying the Season One DVDs or downloading the episodes from iTunes, now would be a VERY good time. Those sales numbers are looked at closely by studios.

Again I can’t thank you guys enough for everything you’ve done on behalf of the show. I hope we can be bringing you fresh “Seeker” adventures for many years to come.

Want to see a third season of Legend of the Seeker starring our very own Bridget Regan? We all need write into our local Seeker showing stations (ah, alliteration) and ABC/Disney to let them know that we want more of the show. Syndicated shows, like LotS, are only on the air as long as stations are buying them so writing to your local (or not so local if you’re so inclined) station and letting them know you love the show would really help. According to Mike, written letters are better then email! Writing to ABC is just as important, if not more so, then writing to your local station. Please be respectful and polite in your message, it really does make a difference. Running your message through spell check so it looks all nice and shiny couldn’t hurt either.

Got questions? Start by reading this message from Mike Sussman

There’s also a Third Season Facebook group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=269657990457 (Thanks Dianne!)

***Update 4/13***We’ve apparently made a HUGE impression on WGN America. They’ve now got a spot on the Q&A page where they say they’ve chosen not to pick up LotS for a third season. That is proof positive that we’re making an impression so keep on writing! (Thanks to Sparty!)

***Update 3/9*** As has been reported on various outlets, Legend of the Seeker isn’t dead yet. (E! Online, Techland, & The Torch Online) However, this doesn’t mean that the show is safe by any means. We still need to keep writing to ABC Studios and our local Legend of the Seeker stations. I really can’t stress enough how important sending in physical letters is. I know we’re all passionate about the show, but PLEASE be nice and calm in your messages! Antagonizing stations with hate mail really isn’t going to do us any good.

***Update 2/26*** As tweeted this morning, there’s yet to be a decision about Season 3. What does this mean for us? Keep writing! I’m told that a decision might not get made until May and EVERY letter counts! Also, if you’re going to write a letter to ABC Studios please don’t write Legend of the Seeker on the envelope, it causes the mail to be delivered to the LotS writing team instead of anyone with decision power over Legend of the Seeker. To further that end, when you address your letter address it to ABC Studios, not Legend of the Seeker. That way your Save the Seeker letter is sure to get to the right person.
