I've been hearing about this little show called
Legend of the Seeker since it debuted last year. Season one was just released on DVD, so I checked it out for
Jane After Dark this week. It's a great show. In my neck of the woods, it airs Saturday afternoon at 4 PM, which is a perfect time. If it aired during the regular primetime schedule, I'm afraid it would be eaten up by other shows, but the weekends are a nice home for it.
I've heard that
Legend of the Seeker, based on
The Sword of Truth novels by
Terry Goodkind, is similar to
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and
Xena: Warrior Princess. As with
Legend, both of these shows were produced by Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert.

Well, the big news to come out of the Wizard's First Rule panel was that the series is not going to be called Wizard's First Rule. The new title is Legend of the Seeker. Why? Well, according to panelists and author Terry Goodkind the name change was made to focus on the hero of the book itself rather than the main book of the series.
A few other tidbits from the panel and press event can be found after the jump.

Poor Robert Jordan. I was sure his
The Wheel of Time series would be the first modern fantasy series to make the leap to ongoing television series. But not only did George R.R. Martin's much newer
A Song of Ice and Fire get picked up by HBO last year to be made into a series (what's the status on
that?), now it looks like Terry Goodkind beat him to the punch, too.
Sam Raimi (
Spider-Man) is teaming with ABC/Disney on 22 hour-long episodes
chronicling Goodkind's The Sword of Truth eleven volume series, though the working title of the show appears to be the title of the first novel only:
Wizard's First Rule. Intended for syndication,
Rule will be the first major fantasy syndicated series since the likes of
Hercules and
Xena ruled the airwaves in the late '90s.
