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 really enjoyed this series, I am saddened that it was not renewed.
The thing I hate the most about a season being cancelled is the ****** reasons giving to us.
I’m not considering Atlantis to be the greatest show ever but it is a nice tv show that had it’s place on tv…
You always have to compare with similar shows and of course Games of Thrones or Vikings are better but Atlantis is still better than some lowsy show that are still airing such as grimm, Witches of East End and Arrow…
Great series, you have to renew for a season 3!!!!
I loved both seasons, very sad to see it cut short. We need a mini season to close things off at least! Just like the BBC to cancel another great series. Not impressed.
atlantis is a great show and should continue with another season
බලු වැඩ කරන්න එපා යකෝ.season 3 එක දීපන්.
I’ve come to terms with the shows cancellation, but I can’t find last episode! I can’t find a torrent or youtube video or anything! HELP!!
I would of liked to see a third season. It is something different and nice to see.
Another great show canceled………………….. wow are they dumb???
People have TV Records now duhhhhhhhhhhh@@@@
Stop canceling good Shows!!!
Once again, the networks cancel beloved shows and leave the consumer out in the cold. This is not the 70’s or 80’s. Not even the 90’s. You can’t judge a show with ratings alone. There are 10 times the network stations today with cable, satellite, streaming, ect. You always cancel a show just as it is getting good.. So tired of the networks taking their consumers for granted. It’s not like Saturdays line ups are out of this world. Atlantis was the only show on the was worth watching on Saturday. You’re not going to get huge ratings on a… Read more »
Obviously, these messages don’t count!! Requesting shows to be RENEWED only gets US laughed at!!. I’m about to unsubscribe to this TV SERIES website!! Besides, who has time to deal with this SLOWMO website? It takes 5minutes to type 3 lines.
Atlantis was a great show! First Copper then Atlantis. A lot of people didn’t even hear about Copper untill it was canceled. There wasn’t enough advertising on this show nor did the advertising do the show justice. So many people miss Copper, but its to little too late! Copper was one of my favorites of all times. Then Atlantis was canceled and I think the show was getting better, I liked watching it. Also in the US the show was hardly advertised and the advertising was horrible . Step up your game! Shows are getting compitive so stop canceling and… Read more »
It’s just not right. You can’t keep building people up with great stuff like this n just leaving them on cliffhangers. Is this really something you are considering for your viewers or just a decision that doesn’t suit your pocket? I mean seriously
Show was beginning to become very interesting,once again bbc jumps the gun and cancels another decent family show so it can air another lame replacement show which I’m sure will be another dud.Thanks again BBC America Management for another poor decision. First Primeval,then Copper and now Intruders and Atlantis.
This is a fantastic series. It was slow to get going but well worth the wait. It is clear that there is so much more stunning action to come and if only given the opportunity this has great potential to pull in the viewers. The story has only just begun. Please bring it back.
BBC you guys sucks.whats the need of starting what you cant finish,was so with merlin,now atlantis,you guys had better reverse this cancelation and get back to work because atlantis rocks
With u on this
