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?
The BBC says they must make room for “new” shows, not necessarily better shows. Why not keep something that has proven itself. Fox network has done this for years. Regardless of how good a show is, it’s gone in a short while. Junk,they keep. I DON’T watch Fox. Bye-bye BBC.
Iit should’nt hav been canceled
please keep the show. It is good clean fun and laughs.
PLease don’t stop it.I love this tv series really.

Very disappointed about this show being cancelled especially since I just discovered the show from xfinity On Demand
Cant believe the BBC have done this. Such an epic well loved program cancelled in its prime
We need a season 3 to end like this it sucks.
Atlantis is one of the best I think it should be brought back.
its very good show .the script is very good. why cancel a show with this potential
maybe they should add more thrill or action
