"The Shannara Chronicles" Creators Talk Season 1 Finale1 of 6
Figuring out where to end the first season of "The Shannara Chronicles" was not difficult for series creators Al Gough and Miles Millar. "The great luxury we have with this show is we had an amazing book with an amazing ending," says Millar. "We loved the idea of ending the first season at the point where the second book in the series ends, The 'Elfstones of Shannara.'" And the last episode does not disappoint, according to the producers. "It's incredibly emotional and satisfying," says Millar. "All the disparate strings come together in this finale in terms of an epic battle, emotional sacrifice, the fight between light and dark, and forces of good and evil really have a great climax in this episode." Better yet, Gough and Millar are all set up for a Season 2. "It will have a satisfying ending, but it obviously leaves questions and doors opening for the next season," says Gough. "There's more to come."
