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?
they shouldn’t of cancelled Atlantis. I found it to be a great show! Why is it just when you find a really good show the network turns around and cancells it??? Just stupid on the networks part if you ask me!!
Atlantis is a great show ! I’ve enjoyed every part of, never skipped a moment. The way it combines comedy with action is wonderful. PLEASE don’t cancel the show. I really want to know how the story will unfold 🙁 🙁
Please don’t cancel this show! It is great! It has a great story line and you can’t get enough of it! Your always waiting to see what’s going to happen next!
I really am going to miss Atlantis, that series should have been given a chance. Very sad..
It seems to me that if a show has value (i.e. good acting and story) gets cancelled. I appeal to the decision making individuals to reconsider and allow quality entertainment (i.e. BRING ATLANTIS BACK)? Cheers!
Do not cancel it there is so much more to put in the show and we all enjoy atlantist
My daughter and I have really enjoyed watching Atlantis. Every show on television doesn’t have to be completely about sex and language. It has had a very good story line and a great cast. The comedic humor is priceless and the action is pretty awesome. We hope you will reconsider and continue with season 3.
I loved it!!! Please please let’s do something to continue season 3 or even more!!!
Why should you cancel such a light humored , Mythical series suitable for all? I don’t get the whole point.A family show suitable for all ages I guess sex and Killings alone drive the ratings of Series. Sad 🙁
Please don’t cancel it ! I love this show… Please
What a shame. One of the very few programs I really enjoy. It has it all; comedy, action, romance, and you can even learn about Greek mythology. I am so sick of the trash on TV. Most of it is full of bad language and the reality shows all need to be cancelled. It’s just ridiculous, air-headed stupidity. Total waste of time, which is why I no longer pay for cable. Nothing but junk. Found this on HULU and have truly enjoyed it. They always end the good programs to make way for more junk. What a bloody shame. Someone… Read more »

please do not canceled T_T
I just discovered this show and loved it so much! I can believe it canceled! It’s so sad because even in Russia we new all Greek mythology, we have movies, cartoons etc.
it’s sad that no one cares about past ; however mythology is a big part of our history. We studied Greek mythology even in grammar school. Disappointment!
i dont think it should canceled cause it is actually pretty good!!!!!
