Manu Bennett Joins MTV's Shanarra Adaptation
Manu Bennett has quite the list of genre credits: 30 Days of Night, Spartacus, Arrow, The Hobbit… and now he can add another. He has just been cast as the last druid Allanon in MTV's adaptation of Terry Brook's Shannara.
The first season of Shannara will be 10 episodes long and focus on The Elfstones of Shanarra, the second book in the original trilogy. The decision to skip the Sword of Shanarra, the first book, was Brook's idea as he felt Elfstones was a better starting place for a television series.
Allanon is described as a wise, perceptive and serious man who knows something incredibly important has begun when the wise tree Ellcrys starts dying. He enlists Wil Ohmsford (Austin Butler) to fulfill his destiny and save the four lands.
Shanarra will air on MTV in 2015.
