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 see no reason why Atlantis should be cancelled. I really enjoyed it and I want nothing more than watching season 3.
The ending of Atlantis made me wanting to see more. They should definitely had continued to the third season and not leave everybody hanging. The way that the show was going left me on the edge of my seat wanting to see more. So they should most definitely renew this show.
well this is a very disappointing news, very disappointed that BBC have terminated the series and i could have understand it if the reason was mentioned it was a nice show after all, we really loved it every body enjoyed it…Please if there’s any way possible; not i but We would like to wacth season three….
Very disappointed this show has been cancelled my family and I enjoyed watching season one and season two what a way to end a Series. without having an ending at all, shame on you
Cancellation of “Atlantis” makes me feel used and abused. Leaving a series without an ending is terrible treatment of viewers. At the very least the producers should have told the writers what was coming and allowed the story line to be adjusted. Unfortunately, the way it was done shows callous disregard for the viewers. Now I doubt whether I should ever watch BBC TV series again: Why would I start watching a series and find a story with no ending? Why would I support advertisers who fund such a policy? With great regret, goodbye BBC, hello Hollywood…. BBC, being about… Read more »
the third season shoud be definitely renewed! I hate the ending. It’s confusing I don’t understand it at all.
The directors had the cameras bobbling around instead of holding steady and allowing us to watch the actors in peace. Not sure why some directors do that practice, but it makes watching an otherwise enjoyable program a horrible experience.
Love the show. I watch it on hulu. Sad to see such a good show end without at least a official ending. Jack Donnelly is fantastic as well as all the others. Please at least do a final closing show so we know what finally happened with Jason.
