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 love the comments people are making. So please will someone who can bring this show back read them. Great show, acting and all. I feel I am there with them. Please bring it back
I am shocked this excellent show was cancelled. I have told so many people about it and they all loved it. It was smartly written, compelling to human emotions, light moments woven into the script and characters without making is “cheap or adolescent”. There are so many people who say we have 100 channels and nothing GOOD to watch. Atlantis was the exception. The character development was something you rarely see anymore Movies and television try and move the viewer from 0 to 100 in an action by attachment to a show-except if yo are bored or enjoy just guns,… Read more »
Wow you wrote a very very good comment and I love it and I hope that they listen to you and the rest of us
i hope they bring it back to. for the rest of us to
Kuweni serious, you can NOT cancel Atlantis, not now. you waited for us to watch one and two for you to cancel? NKT. BBC we want sn 3, we need to know what happens next.
wtf, why do u start d movie since u knw u won’t finish it? this is one of d reason I hate American season films, they just stop airing it without considering the viewers, I can’t even remember all the films I watched which they refuse 2 complete, lying game, kyle xy, and this again. to hell with BBC
I will never watch another BBC chow ever again this is complete BS finish the story I hate clif hangers and this is the third show they started and killed off 100% nonsense why even start the shows if you never finish them with a resolve. So goodbye BBC thanks for yet ANOTHER let down!
Yes, this is a fantasy series i enjoy very much & would like to see its completion. Many TV series have large sections of boring scenes & I find myself fast forwarding through these. But this one does not & keeps me glued to the screen.
My favorites are Fantasy, Sci-fi & anime. So please give us more!!!
I think it should have another season it is a good story line i want to see what happens what is going to happen to Jason
I have loved Atlantis since I read it was coming to BBC America. All of the episodes have been captivating. I love the characters and the actors that portray them. I had hoped for a third season. Very disappointed to find it canceled.
Please bring back Atlantis you cannot leave us like this not knowing what happens. This is very well written, funny,great acting. We need more shoes like this..you can get lost in this show. Please bring back for more seasons, lots more.
The show was great please decide to renew
I had no idea about this show until one day I was searching for something to watch. I came across Atlantis and watched Season 1 & was hooked! I finished Season 1 so fast & caught up on Season 2 then had to wait until the air dates to watch what was going to happen next! Now Season 2 has ended & I am stoked for Season 3…I want to see what happens you can’t just let it end like that! I love the cast, it’s funny, it’s suspenseful all mixed with a great love story, please finish the story,… Read more »
