The Shannara Chronicles is an American fantasy drama television series created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. It is an adaptation of the Shannara series of fantasy novels by Terry Brooks, primarily The Elfstones of Shannara.
It is filmed in the Auckland Film Studios and on location elsewhere in New Zealand, and premiered on MTV, MTV2, TeenNick and TV Land in the United States on January 5, 2016. The first season aired from January 5, 2016, to March 1, 2016 on MTV and consisted of 10 episodes. On April 20, 2016, MTV ordered a second season of The Shannara Chronicles.
The Shannara Chronicles roughly follows the storylines set out in The Elfstones of Shannara, set in the fictional Four Lands. As the series opens, demons start to return after being banished from this world to a place known as the Forbidding—locked by an ancient tree called the Ellcrys. The series chronicles the journey of Wil, Amberle and Eretria who, with the guidance of the last druid Allanon, must go on a quest to protect the Ellcrys from dying and releasing all the banished demons back into the Four Lands.
Sonar Entertainment and Farah Films acquired the TV rights to the Shannara universe in 2012. In December 2013 it was announced that a series based on the book series was being produced for MTV.
The series is produced by Dan Farah, Jon Favreau, Miles Millar, Al Gough, Jonathan Liebesman, and author Terry Brooks. Brooks has stated in an interview that he is happy with the way his story has been adapted.
