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?
NO WE WANT THE SEASON 3. Loved Both the seasons and desperately want to see the upcoming seasons as well. How can you cancel a how which has been so popular among the viewers so much ??? If its just due to revenues then probably you didn’t market it well.
I absolutely loved this show please don’t cancel, I really want to see what happens!!!!!!
Please don’t cancel. The show was fantastic. The best part was the relatable way it was bringing mythical characters to life. We need more of this show not less. Please reconsider. Leslie from U.S.
I have fallen in LOVE with this show and was in high hopes of what the next season would entail! Please bring it back!!!!
there should be a season three i just started watching atlantis and i am in love with the show i am only 15 years old and i would really like it if y’all made a season 3.
CANCELLED??? That’s the general heading. I’ve spent most of my holidays (plural) searching for movies, series in particular, that I wouldn’t get tired of watching so easily and when I finally, finally found just the thing I was looking for… Guess what? … It’s cancelled. To make things even more troublesome, it got to a part where I was and still am, dying to find out what happens after Pasiphae is resurrected and lays siege on Atlantis once more only to become victorious and Jason, Ariadne, Hercules, Pythagoras and The Young Oracle depart on their journey to retrieve and destroy… Read more »

Amen. And, what is with all these shows coming on now only for a season or two. Do you think we are trying them on like shoes. We get invested to only have them pulled. It makes me loose faith in the networks that are most prone. I thought BBC better.
Please tell me this isn’t so!! This is a fantastic show!! Please bring it back!!
I am so very disappointed!! I absolutely love the show and all of the characters. I’ve never been so hooked on any other show. PLEASE bring it back!
This show is one of the best I’ve Seen. I mean i got so hooked on the show that i downloaded and finished season 1 and the 6 episodes of s2 in lese than a day. It deserves a chance please i need that show in my life. I believe it to reach the game of thrones standard.
I am so disappointed! I absolutely love this show!! Bring it back!!
I think it’s a fantastic show of sadness, glory, and surprise. Jason is fast and agile and a great main character. Hercules is a funny character but can be taken seriously and as for Pythagorus, he is the wits of the operation
I thought it was a great series, too bad it only lasted 25 episodes. I must of watched all 25 episodes in 2 days , this is how much I enjoyed it. They have kept us in suspense, this is not fair. please bring back a third season.
