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?
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAKE ATLANTIS RETURN!!!!! I LOVE this show. End it in the RIGHT way, a proper way, we at least deserve that!!! So much for BBC.
Its the Best Show ever! Please give us season 3.
We are in Colorado and with all the trash on tv these days this show was something we as a family could all watch and enjoy. Very sorry to see it go hopefully some network will pick it up…
So what BBC is telling us, thanks for wasting your time watching 2 seasons and when the storyline finally gets interesting we quit. Prepare yourself for wasting more time with our new show. You should at least expect them to finish the show properly with a decent ending, but I guess that’s too much to ask. So disappointing!
I really believe The BBC would handle the canceling of a show differently than those in the US. I guess networks are all the same
it’s terrible that so many network cancel shows before finalizing the story line. I believed that the BBC was different. This makes it difficult to even start watching the shows on this network.
I liked the show hope they bring it back.
Well that blows! I loved the show
loved this show, really sad to see that there is not going to be
Frankly speaking i have never watched such an interesting show like Atlantis before. Please review the 3rd series because you got everyone including me on this TV Show. I always go online in search of this fantastic series-Atlantis but always read news.I suggest it’s this kinda TV Show that should be really aired cos its devoid of all other unpleasant scenes that will inculcate into the minds of kids bad practices. This is really family watched Show. BBC please listen to the voice of the people and do us the favour of giving us Season 3 of Almighty ATLANTIS.
I’m really looking forward for the next season
I don’t see any reason why season 3 should be cancelled please am eagerly waiting for it
The last episode of Atlantis looked as if there was going to be a season 3 but when I watched it on YouTube I thought that it was just one episode and that there could be another one but of course I was wrong. I really wish that BBC would make another season of Atlantis because that show was my favorite show to watch on BBC America.
I do Love the tv show but I see no reason for stoping it at the Second (2) Season because wen the movie was release it caught every one’s interest including mine to the extent it made me remember this old tv series named Merlin. I am already married and I don’t Love Movie too much but this one really caught my interest that I almost cried that the tv show was stop at season 2 so please I beg nd hope that Season 3 should be release pleassssssssss
I love the show and look forward ,to seeing it, I hope they do not cancell it ,It is a really good show ,…and history , it funny ,and intences. Tks

Its a really good show and disserves to be continued . You cant cancel a great tv series. Family’s need a good tv show that doesn have sex or bad language
Im 18 and hate those shows that just sell on that. It is such a waste of an epic storyline. You did an amazing job so far dont cut it of for the sake of the fan that appreciate the work you have done so far.
There are people my age that still like your show and would rather watch it than other shows like GOT.
