Legend of the Seeker is a weekly television series based on The Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind. Distributed in U.S. by Disney-ABC Domestic Television, ABC Studios is producing the series, which is in its first foray into broadcast syndication, with Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, Joshua Donen, Ned Nalle and Kenneth Biller serving as executive producers. The show premiered on November 1, 2008.

The series follows the epic journeys of a young woods guide named Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), a mysterious woman named Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan), a female warrior named Cara (Tabrett Bethell), and a wizard named Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander (Bruce Spence) as they defend against tyranny and destruction.

Plot

The story takes place in the world author Terry Goodkind created in his The Sword of Truth fantasy novel series. The three main provinces are Westland, the Midlands and D'Hara. Westland is separated from the Midlands by a magical boundary, which was created to prevent any magic from entering Westland. On the other side of the Midlands is D'Hara, which is ruled by Darken Rahl. An ancient order of of women known as Confessors oversee the welfare of the people of the Midlands.

The first season is loosely based on the first book of The Sword of Truth series Wizard's First Rule. Some of the stories feature events and characters not encountered in the books, while others loosely adapt events from the book. The story begins after the invasion of Darken Rahl's army into the Midlands. Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan), a Confessor, ventures into Westland in search of a wizard and the Seeker, who has been prophesied to defeat Rahl. Kahlan finds the wizard, Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander (Bruce Spence), and the Seeker, Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), who is forced to accept his destiny. Together, they set off on a journey to seek out Darken Rahl and his minions. They soon discover that in the process of defeating Darken Rahl, they unintentionally helped the Keeper of the underworld create tears between the veil of the underworld and the world of the living. Richard's quest in the second season is to find the 'Stone of Tears' to seal the rifts between the worlds and defeat the Keeper.

Cast

Main characters

  • Craig Horner as Richard Rahl – Raised under the name of Richard Cypher, he starts out in the series as a young woods guide living in Hartland, a town in Westland and a place where no magic exists. Richard is the adopted son of George Cypher and brother of Michael Cypher, but he does not know who his real parents are or that Zedd is his grandfather. He discovers that he is the first true Seeker in a thousand years - "a hero who arises in the times of trouble and suffering and seeks out evil".[1] Although Richard is reluctant to be the Seeker, he is earnest in fulfilling his role as he is the person prophesied to defeat Darken Rahl. Along the way he becomes closer to Kahlan and falls in love with her. Craig Horner explains Richard's character as someone who is "what you see is what you get" and is "so truthful", adding that "the only thing he's been taught to reserve his whole life is his anger, and he can release that once he starts to get hold of this Sword of Truth."[2]
  • Bridget Regan as Kahlan Amnell – the Mother Confessor and, in contrast to the novels on which the show is based, she is not the last living Confessor, at least until partway into the second season.[3] As a Confessor, she has the power to magnify the love a person has within them for her, allowing her to control the person. This power allows her to serve the people of the Midlands, who respect and fear her. Her mother is deceased and she meets her father later in the series after many years of being estranged. Her sister appeared to have been killed at the beginning of the first episode in the series, but later we learn she has indeed survived, and will give birth to a male confessor. In Kahlan's quest to defeat Rahl, her role is to protect the Seeker with her life. She develops a deep love for Richard, which is torment for them both since her Confessor's powers would be inadvertently unleashed in a moment of intimacy, making it impossible for Richard and Kahlan to act on their feelings for each other. Executive producer Robert Tapert describes Kahlan as "a female action hero for 2009… she's perhaps more feminine at the same time as being as ruthless as Xena was."[4]
  • Bruce Spence as Zeddicus "Zedd" Zu'l Zorander – a wizard of the first order who the people of Hartland believe to be a crazy old man, and Richard's grandfather. Heeding the prophecy concerning Richard, Zedd brought him into Westland after his birth to protect him from Darken Rahl and gave him to George Cypher to raise. After Richard accepts the name of the Seeker, Zedd becomes his mentor and is sworn to protect him with his life. He rarely panics and always looks ahead to what has to be done.
  • Tabrett Bethell as Cara Mason – a Mord'Sith who first appears in the Season 1 finale and is sent into the future along with Richard. Cara became part of the main cast in Season 2. Cara is one of the feared order of women known as Mord-Sith. When Mistress Denna failed to train Richard, Cara was personally recruited by the evil ruler Darken Rahl to eliminate the Seeker once and for all. But instead of fulfilling her mission, Cara was forced to work with Richard to save herself, which ultimately led to the Seeker fulfilling the prophecy, killing Rahl and ending his reign of tyranny. From the Underworld, Darken Rahl commands the Mord'Sith to dispose of Cara for her role in his demise. They beat her and leave her for dead, after which Richard helps Cara. Deserted by her people and sworn to protect Richard, the heir to the title Lord Rahl, Cara joins the Seeker and a wary Kahlan and Zedd on their new quest. Richard trusts Cara, and believes her unique abilities could prove invaluable in finding the Stone of Tears and defeating the Keeper of the Underworld.
  • Craig Parker as Darken Rahl – the emperor of D'Hara, the Seeker's enemy, and an evil tyrant who wants to annex the Midlands and Westland into his empire and enslave the people living there. While he has wizards and legions of soldiers at his disposal to help him achieve his goal, he is defeated and revealed to be Richard's older brother (even though in the books he was Richard Rahl's father). He returns as a spirit in the second season, claiming to work for the Keeper.

Recurring characters

  • Jay Laga'aia as Dell "Chase" Brandstone – the head of the Councilor's Guards in Hartland. He is also a family man and Richard's closest friend. Aided by his large frame and strength, Chase is a skilled fighter. He is loyal to his friends and does not hesitate to help them.
  • David de Lautour as Michael Cypher – Richard's older brother and the First Councilor of Hartland.
  • Brooke Williams as Jennsen Rahl – Richard's younger sister. She is referred to as "pristinely ungifted," meaning that she cannot use magic nor can magic affect her directly. Although Jennsen was introduced in the first season, she does not appear in The Sword of Truth series until the seventh novel, The Pillars of Creation.
  • Jessica Marais as Denna – a ruthless Mord'Sith sent by Darken Rahl to torture Richard into swearing his allegiance to Darken Rahl. When her efforts are in vain, she's given a second chance but when that fails, Richard allows her to flee to escape Darken Rahl's wrath. When she captured Zedd for her own purposes, Kahlan and Cara track her down, since Richard is being trained by the Sisters of the Light. Cara shoots her through the chest with a bow and she falls off the edge of a cliff.
  • Danielle Cormack as Shota – a powerful witch who controls a part of the Midlands. While Zedd (with whom she has a complicated history) warns that she is "no friend of The Seeker," she antagonizes Darken Rahl for he threatens her current state of power. After' Rahl's death, Shota aids Zedd with her knowledge of prophecy, as she does not want the Keeper to destroy all life.
  • Alison Bruce as Verna Sauventreen – a Sister of the Light from the Palace of the Prophets who devoted twenty-four years of her life to find Richard and bring him to the Palace to be trained as a wizard.
  • Jolene Blalock and Emily Foxler as Nicci – a Sister of the Dark at the Palace of the Prophets. Nicci forms a dark alliance with Richard and helps him escape in the hopes that he will find the Stone of Tears and give it to the Keeper, as written in prophecy and also was the leader of the attempts on Kahlan's life because of a prophecy saying that the Keeper would fail as long as Kahlan lived. Though Jolene Blalock's Nicci was destroyed by Zedd's Wizard's Fire in 2X10, Perdition, she was recast and returned in 2X13, Princess, as Nicci with a new body who was played by Emily Foxler. Interestingly, Foxler's physical appearance is more similar to Nicci's appearance, as described in The Sword of Truth series, than Blalock's. Nicci renounces her title as a Sister of the Dark when she eventually comes to realize that she doesn't need to serve the Keeper, the Creator, or even the Seeker and that her strength is hers alone, to do with as she pleases, to be her own person and ruler.
  • Elizabeth Hawthorne as Annalina Aldurren - the Prelate of the Sisters of the Light. She believes she does the work of the Creator and will stop at nothing to make sure that her interpretations of the Creators will are carried through. Awhile after Richard's escape from the Palace, a young woman believed to be the flesh and blood manifestation Creator was brought to the Palace. Annalina instructed all the Sisters of the Light to give all their han to the alleged Creator.
  • Jon Brazier as Thaddicus Zorander - Zedd's ne'er-do-well brother, who resents living in Zedd's shadow because of Zedd being more relied upon as a child than Thaddicus because Zedd had magic and Thaddicus didn't. He is a dead-beat irresponsible person and a swindler, but his heart is in the right place and he tries to do honor to the Zorander family name. Despite their initial differences and problems with each other, Zedd cares deeply for Thaddicus. Since childhood, they both share the interest of getting revenge on Panis Rahl, who murdered their father, Carracticus Zorander.

Episodes

Main article: List of Legend of the Seeker episodes

The series premiered on November 1, 2008 in the United States and is broadcast weekly on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the local television station. In addition to the 22 episodes of the first season, the series was renewed by Disney for a second season.[5] All aired episodes were previously available online at Hulu and the official website for United States residents, but most of the episodes were removed from both just prior to the DVD release.

Filming of the second season started in July 2009. The first episode aired on November 7, 2009. The season consisted of 22 episodes based roughly on Terry Goodkind's first, second and third books, Stone of Tears and Blood of the Fold. Streamable episodes appeared on both the show's official website and Netflix.[6]

Production

Development

Sam Raimi became interested in adapting The Sword of Truth novels after his business partner Joshua Donen encouraged him to read the books,[7] and he in turn gave the books to Robert Tapert to read.[8] Raimi considered adapting the first book into a movie or a five-part miniseries, but later settled on making a weekly television series after speaking to the books' author Terry Goodkind.[7] A weekly television program would allow them to include most of the stories and important aspects of the series. Goodkind had resisted selling the rights of his books on multiple occasions before he met Raimi because he was not confident that other producers would maintain the integrity of his stories and characters.[9] Raimi, who had produced Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess with Tapert and Ned Nalle, saw this as an opportunity to return to the first-run syndicated television business. However, the syndicated television business had diminished after the loss of crucial foreign markets[10] and a gradual conversion of independent stations to UPN and WB programming that left little room for other syndicated dramas.

ABC Studios agreed to fund the project, making it its first venture into broadcast syndication, and greenlit the production for 22 episodes, after it was cleared for broadcast to stations representing 84% of the United States, with Tribune Company being the primary launch group.[11] The show, which is heavily action-oriented and requires visual effects, was given a "network-sized" production budget of US$1.5 million per episode.[10][12]

Originally named Wizard's First Rule (after the first book in The Sword of Truth series), the show was retitled to Legend of the Seeker at Goodkind's suggestion since the producers wanted to differentiate the show from the books, and it would have been too restrictive for them to only include plotlines from the first book as well as having the opportunity to cover the story within all the books in the series.[9]

Writing

Executive producers Raimi and Tapert intended Legend of the Seeker to be "just about telling the stories of these characters and the sacrifices they make for each other. Sometimes it's about the meaning of real friendship. And always, it's the stories of the hero's journey."[13] Tapert added, "We didn't want to have the '90s postmodern attitude where the audience is in on the joke. Seeker is much more serious than Hercules and Xena."[14]

With show's production based in New Zealand and a writing staff based in Los Angeles, one of the biggest challenges has been dealing with the time differences and the communication issues.[15] Kenneth Biller noted that the biggest challenges the writing staff faced were to create standalone episodes while integrating the storylines and mythology created by Terry Goodkind, and to "honor the books without literally translating them".[15] As such, the series contains some stories from the books and new stories and events created by the series' writers. Raimi's reason for the changes is that the structure of a novel differs from a weekly one-hour television program.[16] Tapert and Raimi maintain that while the writers have had to create events that were not portrayed in the books, they have remained faithful to the characters, themes and overarching story of the books:

…I think the most important thing, at least for me, is that we remain true to the heart and soul of the characters, what they represent, what they stand for, the good things that they're fighting for, what are their weaknesses and how to overcome them, what the villain represents to the hero, the love story. Those will all be intact and brought as close as possible by our writers to the screen. The actual plot of it, though, happens in a slightly different order and sometimes different stories will be told, as depicted in the series of novels.

Goodkind released a message to his readers on his official website prior to the show's production saying:[17]

No series (or mini-series, or feature film) can follow the underlying book exactly. Sam Raimi and his team want to keep the TV series true to my vision, so rest assured that I am going to be intimately involved in the writing of each of the episodes. If you love the book just the way it is, then enjoy the book for what it is and come to the TV series prepared to enjoy the show for what it is.

However, after production started Goodkind released another press statement in response to questions posed to him by fans:

I want you all to understand that ABC studios chose not to consult me on actors, scripts, or any other aspect of the show. I have had no input whatsoever on the TV series, so I am the wrong person to write to or complain about the show. If you wish to make comments, positive or negative, please direct them to Disney/ABC. For my part, I trust in Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert to at some point be able to exert their immense creative talent and do a great job at bringing to life the characters we all love.

Casting

In casting the role of Richard Cypher, Tapert recalled that when he saw Craig Horner's audition tape, he "absolutely thought he was the guy, instantly".[16] Raimi thought that although Horner is older than the character he plays, he was "very believable" and that "he's got enough good qualities in him, in real life, and he will probably make the audience believe that he's taking that ride towards making a responsible person and that growth of character that's so important for me in the stories of Terry Goodkind."[16] Horner had not heard of the books prior to the audition, and was convinced by a friend to read the books and try out for the role.[18]

For the role of Kahlan Amnell, Raimi credits Tapert for finding Bridget Regan, whom he saw on one of the audition tapes they received. Raimi thought that she grounded the fantastical situations by being "very human and real", and recalled, "I was moved by her and I believed her and I thought we couldn't ask for anything more."[16] Like Horner, Regan had not read the books prior to the audition.[3] Horner and Regan were brought together for a "chemistry reading" in Los Angeles, upon which the producers concurred that they had found their two lead actors.[16]

Filming

Production was set to begin in May 2008 but was delayed by six weeks.[11][19] The series is shot entirely in New Zealand in high-definition. Though based in Auckland, filming has taken place in various places in and outside of the city: at Henderson Valley Studios,[20] in the city's outskirts and in the mountainous region around Queenstown.[19]

Cancellation

Tribune, the major distributor of the series, decided not to renew the series on March 4, 2010, but according to a statement from ABC Studios,[21] this was not a deciding factor of its cancellation. After an apparent deal with Syfy fell through,[22] on April 26 Ausiello Files reported that Legend of the Seeker had been cancelled and would not return for a third season.[23] Fans of the series responded by launching an ongoing renewal campaign titled "Save Our Seeker".[24][25][26] Terry Goodkind has expressed his support for the campaign.[27][28][29]

There have been various reports that Craig Parker and Bruce Spence stated at Ring*Con 2010 that they do not believe the cancellation is final.[citation needed]

Response

Ratings

Legend of the Seeker premiered on the weekend of November 1–2, 2008 in the United States and attracted more than 4.1 million viewers over the two days.[30] The first two episodes obtained an average of 1.5/3 Nielsen rating among 54 metered markets with a 1.4/3 rating on Saturday and a 1.7/3 rating on Sunday. In addition to improving its broadcast time periods in several top markets, Legend also improved the audience numbers in the key 18 to 49 year old demographic in all airings.[31] Over its first month of airing, the show averaged more than 3.6 million viewers.[32] It was renewed for a second season after obtaining a 2.0 household rating average for its first ten episodes.[5]

Critical reception

The premiere of Legend of the Seeker, which included its first two episodes, received generally mixed reviews from critics earning a 53 out of 100 average rating as calculated by Metacritic.[33] It was criticized for not being as "fun" as Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess (also produced by Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi),[34] and not having enough excitement.[35] Another major complaint about the show was its lack of distinguishing features and that it was "too derivative of other works" like Star Wars, The Matrix, and The Wheel of Time, with the "300-style" slow-motion action sequences often cited as an example.[34][36][37] Brian Lowry from Variety called the show "a hodgepodge of better sci-fi/fantasy fare",[36] while Ray Richmond from The Hollywood Reporter described it as "[b]ig on style but more challenged in terms of substance" with "too little provocative/evocative interaction aside from the ultra-violent kind".[38]

Legend was praised for its high production value and the use of New Zealand exteriors,[36][37][38][39] with Robert Lloyd from Los Angeles Times commenting that the show is basically "good-looking fun".[40] Although both Lloyd and Diane Steenbergen from IGN commended the performances of the lead actors Craig Horner and Bridget Regan, they were not pleased with the supporting performances.[36][37][40] Steenbergen thought that the series' third episode was "far more entertaining than the previous two that were weighed down with too much exposition."[41]

Awards
