Watch: New Trailer For MTV's Fantasy Series THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES

I was surprisingly impressed by the first trailer for The Shannara Chronicles, and now MTV has released a second trailer that continues to promote the fantasy series' stunningly massive scope.

The show is based on the series of novels by author Terry Brooks, and though the fact that it's on MTV might give you some pause — I certainly didn't take it seriously until I saw the trailers, considering how MTV isn't exactly synonymous with quality television these days — Jon Favreau's name as an executive producer might cause you to raise your eyebrow. Here's a quick synopsis:

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 fact that the show is shot in New Zealand should tell you pretty much all you need to know about what kind of amazing locations they're able to capture, and for the first time since I was fifteen, I might actually willingly tune into MTV to check this out when it premieres in January. Check out the new trailer below:

Coming to MTV in January 2016, '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.
