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?
please !!!!!! i love the show it kills me the most if it doesnt continue ……..whats wrong wiyh you people you dont consider the fans arrrrhh!!!!
T_T Why does every show that has such a good plot cast of characters, and humor, get canceled!? Atlantis reminded me of the 90s Xena and Hercules. It was a Nostalgia train! Don’t remind me of Legend of the Seeker.
Renew this show! I could care less about people making out on Musketeers. They do that enough on Being Human and other shows.
are you serious leave us hanging just bring back the show so we can watch something enjyable
Why now??? This was the best Greek mythology I have ever watched!…I bet you going to do something about Atlantis lest u loose millions of viewers, especially here in Kenya. Bring the series back!
I agree with everyone.. no reason to watch BBC now.
When the world of T.V. is getting involved with more and more reality t.v. crap, a show like Atlantis comes along and breathes a bit of fresh air into an otherwise boring evening of soaps,sport and yes you guessed it reality t.v.What about giving the public a voice in these matters.T.V. needs more quality shows like Atlantis.
I can’t believe they’d cancel such an amazing quality show. It was gaining momentum and then they pull the plug. That’s not good for business.
The tv series is a nice one and shouldn’t be canceled. But let me ask why is it canceled?
The movie shouldn’t be canceled, is a nice tv drama. But my question.is why is it canceled.
They need to stop cancelling shows that are really good entertainment,for ****** crappy shows that have no real story lines.Atlantis was one of those shows that had real good story and good acting most the time and the little ones can watch without anything explicit happening. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Tommy,,, am in, let them bring the show back!!!!!!!!
So sorry to see this show canceled, but figured it would drop when it paused mid-season then Musketeers aired in its time slot. Atlantis is a very interesting and thought-provoking show for intellectuals who also enjoy drama and mythology. Excellent cast including Mark Addy, Juliet Stevenson, Aiysha Hart and Jack Donnelly. Will miss seeing it!!
okay so, they cancelled this show too early. they should’ve let the third season happen. i mean seriously BBC? Things just started to pick up and was happening at a good pace. why they cancelled it i don’t know. but i think they owe us, the fans, a full explanation of why. because it most definitely wasn’t because they didn’t have enough views. they should really allow the fans a voice in this matter, because this not only hurts the company itself, it hurts the fans. and next time i think about starting a new show on BBCA i’m gonna… Read more »
