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?
Yes!! Please bring it back, have a season 3. Not cool to end it.
I think that Atlantis was a good program, and I am very disappointed to hear that its been canceled
Omg!!! Please bring it back!!!! I have watched both series none stop!!! I luv it!!! It was great and funny!!! Loved all characters especially Hercules!!! That is terrible that you start a show and just snatch it away!! You should keep the shows that the fans like!!! Please please please bring it back!!!! I agree why start a series and take it away!!!
WHAT!!!! My Wife and I were watching the show with great interest when lo and behold?? It ended without a finish?? Who in the world runs this Company and just pulls the plug in the middle of a show without and input from the interested parties. I am seriously considering pulling the plug on HULU & BBC !!
Very Unhappy
Mike & Johann
I don’t know why always ending series show like unprofessional, they just ending atlantis without reason like legend of the seeker. please if you know you will not end any show don’t even start it please. Thank you
Really enjoyed the Atlantis series and saddened to hear of it’s cancellation
Please make a season 3 of Atlantis! The show is so great! Let’s make a petition or something! We need the 3rd season!!!
Release the third season. We are all waiting!!
Please release season 3 of Atlantis
They are jerks for scrapping a season 3.
please we still waiting for season 3, please please air it out wish to see the final ending
Another cancelled series with no closure. I hate that. These writers need to write season endings that will also act a a series finale just in case like they did with Stargate 4 times.
Please please air season 3 its been 8 years the show is really awsome…
Atlantis is one of the best shows out there. BBC would be doing a huge disservice towards its viewers if they do not end the series properly. A big disappointment as it stands and 10’s of thousands you have left disappointed!
You left us hanging!!! Why would you do that? You could atleast do a season 3 and end it with a finalé instead of a HUGE cliffhanger!! GIVE US A SEASON 3!!
Please give us a session 3 the show is so worth it the show is so good in all parts of the story haven’t seen a good show in a long time ppl all around is wondering what went wrong for it to go off the air please give us more seasons thank you so much for time to read this
I just loved this series. Have been watching on on Hulu, and was devastated when it ended abruptly, and we have no idea what happened to any of the characters after Jason went off in search of the golden fleece. So sad…and quite disgraceful of the BBC in my opinion.
