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?
Well, if it doesn’t get renewed its a good lesson that sometimes evil wins, as in real life,
ISIL is embedded now and unless they prove to be incompetent, it will be decades before they are eradicated. The good guys don’t always win….so sad.
I would have cut the old gal’s head off then incinerated the remains, no body, no returning from the dead [aside from the dark magic themes of the show].
I can not understand how such a fantastic TV show could bet cancelled early – a big mistake by the BBC. To make matters worse, the premature ending with a cliff hanger has left the loyal viewers disappointed.
Really annoyed they cancelled this show and left it with such a cliff hanger, you cant just leave it with the bad guys winning. This was one of the only decent shows on the bbc, its no wonder i watch more on sky, it leaves me wondering why i have to pay for a tv licence.
Cracking series all the family love it we cannot understand why a company would start something and stop it half way through .so from all the fans of this program start series 3 again

I think that they should make a 3rd season. Even if its not a full 12 or 13 episodes. All good shows these days are cancelled before the full story has been told.
I love Atlantis…Don’t cancel this TV Show…We need the next season!…Please…Many people love Atlantis so much…Please come back with the next series…
Atlantis is such a good, exciting , thrilling and heart racing series. To cancel it would so stupid ! So many people love this show and it brings many more views to the BBC than any other series will! At least something like Merlin ended on a closing note to its viewers ! The best series on a Saturday night , the BBC should definitely reconsider and 100% make a season 3! It’s just about to get exciting ………. TYPICAL
I was disappointed that there was no conclusion, it was all left up in the air !
its most unfortunate, i had hoped that they went on to S3 , maybe about jason and the argonauts, but now we’ll never know…. quite a following the Atlantis series in Singapore, Malaysia , Indonesia…. i hope they will do something about the ending….
I’m Canadian and don’t usually like British shows. However, I got enthralled with this show. The only thing I would criticize about this show is the fight scenes with the Jason character. He does the exact move every time. Jumping the air, like how would that be hard to see coming.
Oh, and the fact that he basically time traveled back to get to Atlantis but somehow the evil witch is his mother?? Explain that to Doc Brown and see what he says about that.
common every good series seems to be cancelled when we want more of it.plz reconsider ur decicion bbc and give us a season 3.

I have watched tonight’s final episode of season 2 of Atlantis. I absolutely love the show and was really hoping for a season 3. I came into this website to see when Atlantis was returning only to find the horrifying news, that it was being cancelled. I think this is a horrible idea and I think this news will be very upsetting to a number of people. I am left with unanswered questions. Who will Jason finally be with? Will Jason finally kill his mother? Who will be the ruler? Will they destroy the Golden Fleece? Will Hercules find new… Read more »
It should have been allowed to continue. We would have loved to the search for the golden fleece.
