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?
Atlantis 3:Jason and Ariadne retake the throne.Childish reasoning.Why would he risk his life Medea ? Everything is clear: Jason loves Medea. What is the point of Atlantis 3 ? The story of Jason and Medea ? Is not it better to make a new original series of Jason and Medea ? Golden Fleece story, Iolcus story, Corinth story (Tragedy and divorce), Athens story (Medea and Aegeus, Jason – wander homeless from city to city, hated by everyone), Colchis story (Justin version – Medea and Jason were reconciled after their divorce.) Calydonian Boar story , Final story (Jason death, Medea never… Read more »
Awwww – I love this show! So sad that it has been cancelled. I was so looking forward to season 3 and the final downfall (or change of heart) of Pasiphae. We’ll never know if Jason and Ariadne retake the throne, what happens to Medea and the love triangle with Jason, what trouble Hercules (my favourite character – so funny) and Pythagoras get in to or if they ever find love again (they both should) or if the Oracle plays a role in bringing a final end to the conflict (which I think she would have). It Just feels like… Read more »
…just read history ( Greek creation myth ) and make your own sequels or conclusions…Minos is 1 of 3 sons of Europa via Zeus. In the series Minos is already married to Pasiphae. Pasiphae ends up in Crete with Minos who challenges his brothers for rulership. He wins and the story moves to Eleusia and mainland Greece and where the Eleusinian mystery school becomes the major competition cult….and so on…Elysium fields fits into this…as does El and the Asia/European/Egyptian competition for who can invent the most powerful religion…..great story….however Capps and the writers behind this series are not that talented…all… Read more »
The whole thing has been bollocks from the start.Jason from 21st century UK lost in mythological Atlantis.This is really a stupid parody of Greek-Roman Mythology.
Heracles is a mythological Del Boy and his comedy-like performance is completely appropriate for this genre.
I love this show. It is classy and fun. I hope they do not re[place it with some of the trash that permeates television today. I am very disappointed.
This is BS!!!!!
I do believe that it should be renew. Heck, I was waiting for season 3 & now I found out is cancelled…WTH!!!
Want to have an ending, since it’s to end.
I do believe that it should be renew. Heck, I was waiting for season 3 & now I found out is cancelled…WTH!!!
Hi I am sandun from Sri Lanka. Please release Season 3 of Atlantis. I love it very much .
Regards
Illogical story.The dialogue is predictable and intellectually suited only to children. What happened to all the good English TV? Please BBC, spend the money and have a test group view your ideas before going ahead and producing them.
Pls we beg in the name of God.it is never done this way.i dnt like what u Guys are doing.pls for God sake. We need the season 3 of that movie.thank u
Please bring it back season 3 of Atlantis! All Sri Lankans are Love to watch Atlantis.its now being famous among everyone!
So we much obliged if you would consider this matter and bring back the Atlantis 3.
I wish it would continue . I think it was one of the best shows on TV. It was different than other shows on TV, a needed change.
season 3 of atlantis must be re-commissioned………..
I loved Atlantis – very disappointed that there is to be no 3rd series, especially as the end scenes gave the impression that a third series or a series looking at Jason after Atlantis.
Please bring back Atlantis!! This show has fans all the way out here in South Korea!! Please bring it back!
