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.

So disappointed there will be no third series….loved the show
Series 1 and 2 were brilliant. I can’t believe the BBC cancelled this excellent series. Shame another producer doesn’t pick it up.
Typical of the BBC to cancel a really good series to replace it with absolute rubbish come on BBC get a grip why don’t you put on what the viewers want instead of what you want
How can you leave us hanging on this great series.
I can’t believe they canceled Atlantis. How can u end a show like that. It was a great tv show and had alot more to tv. BBC disappoints 1 more time.
Its too shame for to start to kill a lion the you end up giving up. We are so much disappointed with you . Atlist then we need another one with same actors and characters.
