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?
Whoever is responsible for the decision of the ATLANTIS no season 3, it make a huge mistake against the story, the 2 other seasons, against the actors and against the people which they watched the shows, how shame it is to wait Jason to save Atlantis and never this to happen…, why they brought back the dead queen? so stupid, disappointing
Suppose to be season three, why all these episodes and not to know the heroes’ final story? Not how they finish the shows, specially after so many adventures and fights!!! Very disappointing, if the people knew this they would never want to see the show, we make so much patience to see how the story finish and because it is not a true story we can not even find from the ancient Greek stories either!!!! Not responsible action from the producer or who ever decide for this show, it is a pity for the very good actors which participated, so… Read more »
Very disappointed to hear there will not be a season 3. It should have had a proper ending of sorts and not leaving you wanting to see if Jason can find the Golden Fleece and the queen destroyed. Why bother to bring the wicked queen back anyway if you are cancelling the show
They need to make season 3! It is stupid to stop making this wonderful show. How do you stop a show about Jason without showing him getting the golden fleece?
Atlantis deserved a 3rd Season it was incredible!
Atlantis should have a season 3
