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 personally believe that Atlantis isn’t supposed to be cancelled. It should and must be renewed. This series is the bomb!!!! It’s exciting, keeps you at the edge of your seat, exhilarating!! Atlantis stands out!! Its not boring or uninteresting. Not because you have to allow/play new series that you have to cancel the show. Just find a loop whole pleasssseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! I need to know what’s next. Take in deep consideration and try to renew!!!

I loved this show Atlantis. I hate it when good shows get cancelled without any closure only cliff hangers for last episodes. Wish it had continued.
I don’t care if they have signed other contract you guys should have renewed it that way they wouldn’tOf signed other contracts love this series It was a blast to watchI’m really going to miss watching it
should have kept the show!!!!!!!!!
no fair — Atlantis was one of my rituals after everyone was fed and asleep
Yet another network that doesn’t care about the fan’s I am really angry to hear this sense I just wanted both seasos in 2 day’s and was looking forward to the third season !!!!!!! I should have known they made Camalot with Starz. And it was a awesome show I couldn’t wait for each week and was promised it was coming back for a second year I waited an entire year and they cancelled it I was so mad I will never get into another Starz series or a BBC series now you’re totally made me angry you make good… Read more »
They totally should have kept it. It was awesome. I wanted to see Jason end up with Madrea.
They should have done another season! Why do they cancel the good shows?
I love this show!! I am very upset it will not be returning. If they decided to cut the show hey could of finished it properly. Instead they left fans with a cliffhanger and more questions than answers. Please bring back Atlantis!
i surely wish to see the evil queen dead and jason be placed on the throne as the king of Atlantis. may God be with them
it is the best show i have ever seen. i solemnly hope that atlantis season 3 will be back on air
Atlantis the series was just “picking up” with the story arc heading to Golden Fleece. Actress Sarah Parish devilishly good as Pasiphae, Mark Addy & Ayisha Hart most pleasant to the eyes.
so sad to see it go. Wish I could see them beat Pesiphe. Loved the characters & their interaction as friends. Will really miss it
It’s been 7 months. Now it is too late. Actors and actress from this series have signed new contracts(for other TV shows or movies). How to re-assemble the team ? It is easier to make a new TV series.
