Below are the questions SaveOurSeeker.com typically receives via email and Twitter.
Why was 'Legend of the Seeker' cancelled?
Due to financial issues, Tribune, the major distributor of 'Legend of the Seeker,' decided not to renew the series. ABC Studios, which produced Legend of the Seeker, explored other options, and unfortunately, an apparent deal with Syfy fell through.
Are there any news about season 3? And is the fan campaign making any progress?
We know that many networks are familiar with our campaign. Here's a quote from a recent statement by Terry Goodkind: "You guys (SOS campaign in particular) are doing an incredible job. Almost entirely because of your efforts, I have not heard any reason why the doors that have been closed on LOTS could not be reopened. The very reason most of the language about the show's cancellation has been non-definitive and generally vague is because of your effort."
Is there any hope that a 3rd season will be produced?
There's always hope, and our chances increase as the fan base grows. Fans are still fighting to get the show back. Other shows were brought back by fans before (e.g. Chuck, Firefly, The XFiles movies), or are being brought back because they're having a successful afterlife on DVD (Family Guy), or online (Arrested Development); see this article.
What is SaveOurSeeker.com doing to help bring back Legend of the Seeker?
We're currently working on these 3 main projects:
1. Letter writing campaign (aka Journey Book Campaign). Every week, we target different networks. Please check our Twitter feed for the weekly calendar.
2. Organizing or supporting fan tables at conventions around the world. The updated convention calendar is on this wiki
3. DVD donations to public libraries. We donated over 400 DVDs to libraries in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Donations are ongoing.
Past projects are listed here.

I'm planning on buying the DVD sets for the series. Can I can buy them somewhere that would show my interest or help the campaign?

Can I help the campaign if I cannot donate money?
Below is a list of campaign activities that won't cost you any money (or just a postage stamp).
