The fantasy drama follows a young woodsman - played by Craig Horner - and colleagues in their attempt to stop an evil emperor from unleashing a terrifying power. Spider-Man director Raimi adapated the series from Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth novels.
Sci Fi has acquired the 22-episode first season from Disney-ABC-ESPN Television, as well as the upcoming second season.
"Legend of the Seeker is yet another exciting addition to the channel's summer primetime schedule," said Charlotte Ashton, VP of programming & marketing at NBC Universal Global Networks UK. "The sword-n-sorcery sub-genre has a worthy new hero in Legend of The Seeker, which we expect the UK audience to fully embrace."
Legend will air on Sci Fi from August 13.
