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?
Sad this series ended so abruptly. It had some silliness but mostly good story lines, and the incorporation of myth was enjoyable. Would loved to have seen the Argonauts and the search for the Golden Fleece.
Truly amazed that a large number of the comments are from 2024….9 years after the season ended!
Stupid decision to cancel season 3 of this series. Viewers have been kept disappointed.
We need Season 3, 4, 5. Great show!
We are six episodes into season 2 and now we will never know what happens. What a dumb decision The Producers made.
We need season 3 of Atlantis. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Please don’t cancel, one of the best shows I have watched. BRING IT BACK!!!
Great storytelling, flow, and incorporation of Greek mythology. I was really enjoying this series, only for it to be canceled after the build up to the Argonauts? This show seemed to be on track for being one of the networks best shows, and had a lot of potential. So why would you cancel it? I’d fire whatever advisors gave you that advice. They seem to be idiots.
I really enjoyed the series and upset to not know how it’s going to end. . . Sadness. . . .
Why do they always cancel the best shows? It is still not too late! Bring it back! You have a built-in loyal audience! But only if you use the same actors!
So Sad
Incredible cinematography and saga of epic proportion!
Atlantis is a rare gem.
Network made mistake in choosing something else!
If u need any new ideas for a season 3 episode I will be more happy to help..I love the show just absolutely love it..bring Jason and ariadne back so they can finally kill that ***** queen please let me be in Atlantis
show was great but come on you cancel that’s so wrong on every level, wont find out the ending
What a pity that they couldn’t shoot the season 3 because i really enjoyed the first two seasons
Yes, of course the series should continue. Enjoyable to watch and enjoyed the storyline very much.
