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 loved this show and virtually watched all of what was available on HULU and on-demand in about 4 days. I’m deeply saddened by its release from line up, I wish they’d reconsider.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL I LOVE THIS SHOW
OMG!!!!!what is wrong with em,let us team for the call of ssn 3
#Atlantis season 3
we can’t believe that they decided to end this series. It is totally different from other shows and is based on myths and legends that we grew up with. We hope that they change their minds about this show and renew it. We looked forward to a new episode each week.
Hi, BBC!
Although the writing for the current season was not up to the standards set in season one, I would certainly give the series another chance. Perhaps like “Orphan Black”, BBC America could continue producing shows on its own. In any case, good luck in future to the entire cast and crew.
Sincerily yours,
Rick Wilson
Is there anyway to bring it back? Does BBC even listen to the fans?
BRING IT BACK!! I hate that every time I start to like a TV show it gets cancelled!!! AGRRRRGGGG!!
What a shock to learn that this fantastic show has been cancelled! I fell in love with this series and so look forward the the remaining episodes of the 2nd series. I hope you will reconsider it’s cancellation as it was highly entertaioning
I am very disappointed in the cancelation of Atlantis.
It was a really good show. I will miss the cast.
p
I can not accept this as a fact, I was accustomed to this beautiful story.
Maybe this nightmare is not over. I hope to wake up.
the show has only gotten better and better each season, the locations and sets lending to the even better writting and the characters expansion and plots. PLEASE give this show another chance! With that and lastly a time slot that would help and not hurt this ever improving fun and exciting fantasy show.
this is a good movie! please do not end up this! i love this series. thank you!
My wife and I love Atlantis. It irks me that all the good shows are cancelled to be replaced by cop and mystery shows. Listen TV executives- WE ARE SICK OF THE MYSTERY AND COP SHOWS! Doctor Who sucks and for me is just plain silly. Give us variety and substance and characters we can care about.
Omg ! no so shocked loved Atlantis and it was just gearing up for a great season!
The season special effects was a massive improvement , the story line was becoming serious still keeping the humor. I feel who ever made that call, under estimated what BBC had .
this is a really good show. the 2nd season got alot better. you should re-think what your doing and make a 3rd season.
