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?
Loved it. Please bring it back. Maybe study in USA could pick it back up
I really don’t like that when a show is cancelled without a proper conclusion. Should not be in show business when there is a disregard for their audience.
I found this show and also found we enjoy it very much every time I find a show we like a lot it’s canceled and the stupid sows are left on to torcher us! Renew this shoe
It is disappointing that the show got cancelled. My kids were enjoying it. It hit just the right chord for family drama. Exciting, but not over the top and throwing in a bit of mythology never hurts. Unfortunate.
I am so sad that this show got canceled. It was one of my favorites. At least they should have let us see how it ends.I hope they bring a remarkable show like Atlantis back.
Why would you cancel a great energetic and entertaining show Atlantis? But keep trash like orphan black? REALLY all TV shows should go off the air and we talk or read a book since all you care about is putting trash on anyway!!!
WOW,,,, such a great series, and no more of it to be seen. I wish it wasn’t so. I would have loved to see this series end way better than it did. I love the actors. They were all fantabulous. I started watching season one and couldn’t wait for season two. Then the bomb fell and it was all over. Season two left me wanting for more. I laughed, I cried, and I hated. When a viewer begins to hate a character and love others, that to me is a damn good sign of great acting and wonderful storyline. Please… Read more »
Am heart broken i liked this show alot why!!! Cancelling it …. Please answer mu cries shoot the season three
I’m sad to see this show go, however I will continue to wish for season three and hopefully one day they will see that many people liked it.
Atlantis was a wonderful show. There’s romance, comedy and action and the storyline was great. One that both me and my husband can watch together. It’s a shame it was cancelled. They should have at least completed the season with closure.
Do not dismiss quality entertainment for tasteless and senseless entertainment.
I am sorry to see this has ended. It is a shame when they don’t end a show properly.
What a shame to end a series without a proper ending. I thought that BBC has more professional skills in handling their own shows.
This is unfair. It should be renewed.
I am really disappointed that this show has been cancelled. I became a fan of BBC America because of Orphan Black. I just happened across Atlantis and have already watched all the episodes on On Demand. I hate the fact that I’m not gonna be able to know how it all turns out.
I was really looking forward to #3
Me too especially since they left a cliff hanger on the last episode
