And always remember...
- A postcard or letter is always the better option, networks are more likely to respond to physical messages rather than digital ones.
- Your letter can simply be a brief note, so long as it is clear you want more Legend of the Seeker. ;)
- Postcards are both cheap and very effective.
- Be polite. The person who will read your message didn't cancel our show, we shouldn't treat them as if they did.
- If possible, try to argue that Legend of the Seeker would greatly benefit all parties involved in its resurrection. State that even with poor time slots, lack of promotion and erratic airing schedules, the series still managed to gain millions of dedicated followers. If given a chance, it could be one of the most popular shows currently on television!
- To request re-runs when we contact networks. Fans in Italy, Sweden and Romania have already succeeded in getting reruns back on the air after campaigning their local stations! Update: LotS is also currently airing on the Disney Channel in Russia.
- We have Terry Goodkind's support! [link]
- To tell the networks that the fan base is growing with 2.5M viewers per episode in Germany and Italy respectively. Legend of the Seeker is currently also airing in France, Finland, Sweden, Romania, and Croatia. The show could have ~10M fans worldwide.
- The November 1st/2011 Tweetathon of #LegendOfTheSeeker trended at #19 Worldwide :) [screenshot]
- To watch and support LotS on Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, & DVD [SaveOurSeeker.com/store.html]

Contact Form Please note once again that a letter or postcard carries much more weight than an email, tweet or facebook comment. Snail mail is always the best option. If you want to send a Seeker-themed postcard you can find many ready to print cards already made at
The Seeker Picture Repository.
Check back later as we continue to publish the schedule. Thank you for your continued support!
