Austin Butler Brings 'The Shannara Chronicles' To TCA Press Tour 2016

Poppy Drayton and Austin Butler chat up their new show, The Shannara Chronicles, during the panel during the 2016 Television Critics Association Press Tour at Langham Hotel on Wednesday afternoon (January 6) in Pasadena, Calif.

The two actors were joined by co-stars John Rhys-Davies, Ivana Baquero, Manu Bennett, plus executive producers Al Gough, Miles Millar, Jon Favreau, Jonathan Liebesman, and executive producer/author Terry Brooks.

“We do think there’s a real appetite for the show. It’s based on a classic book series, and we think it works on cable. It works for binge-watching. It’s very accessible on all platforms,” Miles shared while speaking with press.

John added, “It’s not mined out. Plus, this material has real history. Our writer started this in 1976!”
