It appears that plans for season three of BBC’s Atlantis have sunk. The TV show, which airs on BBC America here in the States, has been cancelled after two seasons.
On Atlantis, a young man named Jason (Jack Donnelly) goes in search of his long-missing father and ends up on the shores of ancient Atlantis. He’s befriended by a pair of unlucky locals — former prize fighter Hercules (Mark Addy) and intellectual Pythagoras (Robert Emms) — as well as a revered Oracle (Juliet Stevenson). Others in the cast include Sarah Parish, Aiysha Hart, and Jemima Rooper.
BBC announced the show’s cancellation this way: “The final seven episodes of Atlantis will transmit on BBC One in spring. We would like to thank Urban Myth Films and all the cast and crew but the series will not be re-commissioned. We are very proud of both series but to keep increasing the range of BBC One drama we have to make difficult decisions to bring new shows through.”
Six of the 13 episodes of season two have aired so far in the US. No word on when they’ll be released here.
What do you think? Do you like the Atlantis TV show? Do you think that it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
BBC bring back the show.
I loved the show. I was hooked from the very first episode and now I find out that we will never know how it ends, it’s so saddening. I want there to be more episodes, the show deserves a proper ending. It needs a Season 3!
I wonder what could have been
Seems to be a.dam shame, the first pilot is great but goes down hill fast from there…But I do believe the show had potential with some changes and better plots I think it would done well..The first pilot seem to be of higher quality screen writing…Also the role of Hercules being a foolish loser..Just didnt make any sense..For gods sake he is Hercules!..Maybe a senior retired Hercules version so to not to take lead role would been more ideal or made him more of a mentor to Jason vs fat, foolish character that was trying to be cute or silly… Read more »
Hm well for Hercules it humanized him

So disappointed to hear Season 3 was cancelled. Just finished watching the final episode of Season 2 and learned of this. Need to finish what you started BBC.
A continuação da série é o filme Jasão e os Argonautas.
I wish you would finish Season 3. I thoroughly enjoyed every epis0de. I feel I got hung out to dry. Why would you not finish what you started,
