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?
Why! Becos no *******!? No nonsense pornographic show..no bloody crime? …. Canceling it is the worst u can do …. You guyz shud think twice
When we have something this good on TV how the hell would you ever think otherwise in taking the show off…..You Brits really have to start thinking American, in knowing what we all like and and what’s really good……forget the tea crap, and look at life outside of England, and maybe next time when there’s a war, the Americans won’t be so late…..
Brits thinking American?? Seriously?? How many popular American shows get cancelled way before their time? Not thinking American is a better option 😛
Why! Becos no *******!? No nonsense pornographic show..no bloody crime? …. Canceling it is the worst u can do …. You people shud think twice
NO!!! I love this show!
No,no,no please don’t cancel. Why are all the good shows canceled????? This is such a refreshing change from all the same ol same old mystery, political, crime and cop type shows!!
please dont cancell this series . I like it so much (Iam from egypt by the way)
This show was maturing nicely. I just found it and watched all the episodes this week. Loved the spin on the mythology and stories. The cast had good rapport. Sorry to see it go. Would love to see more. Please reconsider.
I just can’t believe it! Atlantis was one of thebest series on TV at the moment. The storyline’s unrivaled and the actors are fab! I just don’t understand it because the show had a great following and I’m sure the writer’s still have loads of ideas. Now we won’t be able find out what happens and it won’t have a proper ending. It’s an outrage!
noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love this show! they cant just cancel it!
Nooooooo!!!! Where the hell else am I going to be able to see the handsome actor that plays Jason wearing that defining light armour and looking all sweaty/flustered/like he’s just walked through a dust storm??????????
…also, the storyline was good!
i think it is a good show. icame to the internet to find when the rest of the series would be played,only to find it has been cancelled. get rid of one of the mysteries. there is to many of them anyway.
My daughter and I will truly miss it. Guess we have to find another show to watch.
This sucks, the show is great, very hard to get a mythology show these days.
nooooo, I don’t want it to be cancelled that’s my weekend show it makes me feel good going along with my crew on there journey bring it back that’s what I say
yep yes I was so looking. Forward to season3 ,to see what would Jason do when. he find that the evil ex queen was his mom. and I miss his roommates that really sucks
I just can’t believe it! Atlantis is/was one of the best series on TV at the moment. It was the only thing that kept me going all week! The storyline’s amazing and there were so many hints for the future. Now we’ll never find out what happened and it won’t even have a proper ending. It’s totally stupid because the show has a great following, the actors are fabulous and I bet the writer’s still have loads of ideas. Rubbish series go on and on, it’s always the really good ones that get cut short. It’s an outrage!
