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?
Another screwed up BBC decision, one of the many, e.g. Ripper Street and others. Where are they coming from, are they on planet earth? Will they ever listen to their viewers? Will be interesting to see what they replace Atlantis with or what other shows they will come up with. Will they ever realise Strictly may have run it’s course? It’s obviously all about view ratings.
Hello
I have been a fan of Atlantis ever since the first episode so good , when i heard it had been cancelled only one question WHY , instead take some of the other repeats like Bargain hunt , flog it need i say more , an explanation would be good
GAry
My question is What’s the reason for canceling Atlantis? We, the viewers were never told Why.
Is anyone reading this or don’t our feelings mean a thing to you? Is this cancellation written in stone or is there a chance you may bring it back. Lastly, when we see the rest of the season 2 episodes? I really hate how we are just being ignored.
This show is so epic… being able to bring a nice cast with hilarious way is unreal.. This show should have not been canceled!
Don’t cancel! I’m going to stop watching TV series all together. It’s so disappointing when your time had been vested in a show and then it just abruptly ends.
It was a great show! I really wish they wouldn’t cancel!
Its an awesome show DO NOT CANCLE
Why keep posting this cancelled show. RENEW IT!!
I had seen season 3 advertised, and am highly disappointed it like copper has been canceled. Here in the U.S. we like these and look forward to these types of shows.
What is with BBC cancelling all their shows after two seasons? Ripper Street, Copper and now Atlantis.
Very upset. Please finish the season!
i cannot believe that they cancelled this show! they are not LISTENING TO US THE VIEWERS THAT IS FOR SURE! Everytime they make a great show they cancel it. Yet they keep all this reality crap on! Leave our shows alone. Dont think the BBC would know a good show if it bite them on the ass.
I,m very disappointing about BBC.
What is going on that BBCA keeps cancelling all the shows we watch. Please finish out season 2. It is just wrong that they keep people hanging like this.
RENEW!!!!!
I like this show very much I have been waiting patiently for the rest of season 2 and I am very disappointed that it has not returned to the BBC and even more disappointed that thesshow is being canceled. I am tired of all the shows that I like on the BBC being canceled first it was Torchwood and now Atlantis, I am getting to the point that I may not watch the BBC any longer if they do not stop the delay of the rest of season 2 of Atlantis and with the cancelation of season 3. I am… Read more »

They have only aired 6 episodes of season 2. Are they going to air the 7 remaining episodes?
