What the heck is this and why is it on MTV of all channels?

I was reading a review of New York Comic Con, and came across this trailer:

Elves, trolls, magic, demons, sword fights, dragons... what in the world is this doing on MTV? Based on The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks, which I'll admit I haven't read, but after seeing that trailer I really want to.

It'll start on MTV early in 2016.

I had sorta heard about this but had not watched the trailer until just now. WOW...MTV? I've never read any of these books, they have been around for ages. It looks good though, makes me think of 'Legend of the Seeker' and all those shows...I need another high fantasy story in my life. Will def give this a try!

Me too! I just wish it was going to air sooner. Though I suppose 2016 really isn't that far away...
