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?
plzzz bring back atlantis!!!!!
I love that tv show, with the actions, drama, love, its the best. It shouldnt have been cancelled
What is the point of Atlantis 3 ? The story of Janson and Medea or some nonsense (like that King Arthur married Brunhilde) ?
It was a travesty that Atlantis was canceled it was fresh and well written. Though it didn’t follow Greek myth exactly it gave a glimpse into the life of the ancient Greeks specifically the Minoan culture which is believed by some to be the mythical Atlantis civilization. I feel like the BBC is afraid of a little education in their drama.
Hell. No Atlantis is good show. ,don’t cancell it need season 3
I thiink that Atlantis the complete second series is very good and it’s so thrilling and nonstop adventure is very good and good for children to watch it
Atlantis is the wrong name for the show. Some mixed up Greek tales is more like it. Maybe “Greek Tales of the Middle East” would be a better title.Maybe someone can design a computer program to make believable movies and TV shows.
Please return the Atlantis series , he really like me and many other people in mire.I not pay attention to that in the United States closed the series The Simple series is very good, and they are jealous of it. )
I enjoyed very much the show…..
me too)))
Once Upon a Time is much better than Atlantis.I really love Once Upon A time! I love the flashbacks based on actual fairy tales. I love how they combine the different tales together so that the storylines we thought we knew are actually affected by characters from a different story.
If the executives at the BBC are cancelling this show, at least have the decency to give it closure. That’s the one thing we, as viewers need to communicate by discontinuing watching anything else that network airs. If I have to give 2 weeks notice before quitting a job, then you should have to do the same. Otherwise, your reputation suffers a little each time. How many other shows have been cancelled this way on the BBC?
Sarah Parrish is the best thing on it. Otherwise it’s crap.
Three musketeers is a much better show.
Atlantis jumped the shark when the brought in the Hunger Games brat with psychic powers
This show was truly made of decency, creativity and great writing that shows of now a days are tragically missing. I was excited and enamored by and with each episode. This show had rekindled my fondness of television watching and I am extremely dismayed and disappointed that BBC would give in to either powers of money, ratings or world depravity to deny the public/fans of quality programming.
Utterly Disgusted
Please see fit to continue Atlantis!!!
Absolutely not! This show was just getting better all the time. My favorite on TV. It baffles me that such a great show was cancelled. Make room for another stupid reality show! I hope not.
Thanks, kind of disappointed in BBC.
