Why Did It End? This show was given a three-season run that allowed it to wrap up its storylines and adapt the full book series. Its ratings started our good, but dropped in subsequent seasons. If there were any plans to carry it beyond the books, the viewership may not have justified that.
You can keep up with the renewal/cancellation status of this and all the current sci fi and fantasy shows at our Cancellation Watch Page.
