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?
I can’t believe you want to end the series. It’s unfair to us,fans.
I think this show is great. I found it while looking for a show like Merlin. There’s no reason to cancel this show! It’s fantastic! If a character want to quit, make them a better offer. It wouldn’t kill you. If you are running out of ideas hire a fresh mind! I myself have plenty, but someone out there has better! You can obviously see people like your show. Even one I saw say they were done with you of you cancel. And I completely see that being possible. I myself don’t watch tv much at all. And Atlantis is… Read more »

And the bbc have really done it now cancelling this show while they continue with the voice
I can’t believe they would cancel this show! It’s my favourite. Interesting with just the right amount of suspense to keep me wanting more but not making me feel disappointed with the outcome.
Deborah I was really saddened when I heard the show was cancelled. It was different from everything else on T.V.. The characters were fun to watch how they played off each other. I really looked forward to the series. BBC not your finest moment!
What a shame great show and cast- good mix
It’s to bad this is a great show
What a shame. It was a great show and Emmett J. Scanlan had just joined the cast. BBC, really? Maybe Sy-Fy or Netflix will pick it up. One can only hope.
Yeah… if this show gets cancelled I’m done with BBC.
