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?
Please reconsider your decision the fans all deserve to see what happens next and you can’t raise the tension and have us all sitting at the edges of our seats just to leave us unsatisfied and disappointed again.

I absolutely love this show, just as I loved Merlin and I wish it would come back. Especially the way the sixth episode ended on season two. I want to see the rest. Hopefully it will end better than Merlin. It’s finale felt very rushed and the battle between Merlin and Morgonna could have been epic.
The BBC is getting really good at show cancellations. There taking hit shows season after season and cancelling them. Why are you cancelling shows that grab ratings and that people like. I don’t understand any of this. I watch more BBC shows then I watch of American shows. I have devoted a lot of time as I like the essence of shows that come from a history and historical view of life. It would have been really nice too see a show started and finished through the story line instead of half way through and then killed. If you don’t… Read more »
Bring atlantis back best show ever. Dont be stupid and cancel another great show. Very unhappy
atlantis must come up with its third season
Massively disappointed Atlantis was cut! My wife is a huge history buff and scholar so we found this show a lot of fun and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes it got a little dark through the 2nd season but it really worked with getting a feel across as to the dire situation Atlantis was in! It seemed the show creators had quite a story line developing and could have made for some epic adventure I mean COME ON Jason and the Argonauts, the skeleton battle, WOW history lessons come flooding back. If the creators and writers of this show just happen… Read more »
I believe I’m older then the rest of the comments, however, many shows have been canceled no matter how great they are. We are standing up for such disorders, we are true and loyal viewers and the show is wonderful and adventurous. YOU WILL RECIEVE YOUR WONDERFUL RATINGS “NO MATTER WHAT, THE MAKING OF ATLANTIS IS OF GOOD QUALITY AND SO ARE THE ACTORS….”WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US ( REFERING TO THE “POWERS THAT BE”) HOW CAN YOU LEAVE US IN EMPTINESS…THIS 2015 IN THE UNTIED STATES, I DON’T THINK WE DO THAT ANYMORE…AND BBC ( ENGLAND )… Read more »
yep continue Atlantis because after watching 2 season without knowing the end did u think it make sense to just cancelled it just like that…can u guys just continue and start the continuation quickly people look for around
please renew it fast
i would like to see the atlantis come throw for a third seosen
Atlantis is an so interesting movie that deserve to be renewed. All my friends and I love it and it will be a mistake to cancel it, a very bad mistake…
I like so much this movie. I think it is one of the best movies I have ever seen.
I was amazing when I saw the end of the season two and I am looking forward to see the season three soon. I love Atlantis
This is a fantastic show and always leaves me hanging off the cliff in search for what will happen in the next episode. I would truely be saddened to see it go away.
Yep they really need to bring Atlantis back. They have now taken it off “On Demand ” maybe they don’t want more people watching it. When you have a good show why cancel it? Please bring it back, the viewer’s want to see more.
The BBC seems too be in the business of grabbing attention world wide and when they got it they axe the shows. It is just stupid too cancel something that is grabbing ratings and viewership. Makes no sense.
So sorry Atlantis is cancelled. ..just by chance l picked up the first series at the library and was so enthused to watch series 2 on Foxtel. ..just watched the last episode of season 2..Please rethink this as it’s really only now becoming really interesting! ..I hope these comments go to people who matter in making these decisions!
Viewership don’t matter too the powers to be. If they can keep creating show after show and keep viewers tuned too them no matter what the cost is they will start and never finish because they will just roll out another hit and cancel it also half way through the story line. Sounds like the BBC needs one big staged protest too finish something that they start.
You very stupid to cancel Atlantis… Right from the beginning you suppose cancel the show not when we needed it the most
