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?
Please bring this show back. It’s been a ritual since day one that me and my son sit and watch it together. I even have it set up to record in case we are gone. Come on people. Finally a great show and u cancell it…:(
Its sad to end such a wonderful series. I hope theyll renew it!
I really love this show. You need to bring it back.cuz I’m tired oh the other stuff on the TV stations that are not educational this is a very good program so please bring it back
I love this show so much. It doesn’t make sense if BBC cancelled the next series. Give us back the series!!!
I feel as though they should keep Atlantis up it doesn’t make any sense that you will cancel a show you get everyone all into this series and then you just take it from them not nice.
Absolutely gutted that there will be no series 3 one of the best programmes aired in along time we pay the bbc TV license and this the way they repay us what is the reason for this let the public decide !!
Deeply disappointing and how can it be.? I’ve really enjoyed watching this and feel very frustrated how it has been left!

That’s right cancel the good shows and keep the crap on and the reruns. Even my kids loved Atlantis.
We want Atlantis season 3! BBC listen to us!Atlantis is better than Merlin! Please make Atlantis season 3. Sri lankan fans waiting for Atlantis season 3. Thanks!
Very unhappy that such a great show will not continue! Why do they always cancel the great ones?
I am very disappointed by this news as I have spent a lot of time watching it to be left wondering what was happening with the ending, they all end up looking at a place they need to go to destroy something called the ‘golden fleece’ to stop the evil woman who has been left on the throne. So the baddie has won, you never get to see if they succeed and to top it off we get some weird vision of Jason and Medea snogging on a boat and Ariadne by the shore shouting at the ocean.
