MTV heads to the fantasy genre with their new show The Shannara Chronicles.

I'm late to the game on this one but I just watched the new trailer for MTV's upcoming fantasy show The Shannara Chronicles and have to say that I am intrigued! It's been a long time since a show on MTV has actually interested me but this one may deserve a peek.

The show is based on the books by author Terry Brooks. It will have 10 episodes that has Jon Favreau attached as executive producer. The story is set after the "great wars" and the destruction of civilization as we know it. Things have reverted back to an era that mirrors the medieval era and magic has been created.

"‘The Shannara Chronicles’ is a new TV series based on the best-selling fantasy novels by Terry Brooks. Set thousands of years after the destruction of our civilization, the story follows an Elven Princess, Amberle, a half-human half-elf, Wil, and a human, Eretria, as they embark on a quest to stop a Demon army from destroying the Four Lands."

The show is shot in New Zealand and that alone should tell you how beautiful the scenery and backdrops will be for the show. Below I have attached the newest trailer as well as the "first look" released back at San Diego Comic Con. Enjoy!





The Shannara Chronicles will premiere on MTV in Junuary 2016.
