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?
Bring it back , figures I get hooked on a show and they cancel it
Bring it back for a final season!
BRING IT BACK FOR A FINAL SEASON OR I WILL KILL MYSELF ………NO JOKE YOU HAVE UNTIL NEXT WEEK TO REPLY OR U WILL SEE IN THE NEWS I JUMPED OF A BRIGDE!AND IT WILL BE TOO LATE
My family loved this show for many reasons. We would support it coming back on by watching it as a family. Very sad to have it not brought back
We watched every episode will be missed
Sad indeed. Finally a show that didnt have vampires and werewolves making out and they cancel it. Loved the show. Bring back for season 3 !
please do not cancel Atlantis i love watching it and would like to find out what happens. It is horrible when a series gets cancelled half way without a finale.
Please reconsider cancelling Atlantis.
Bring back the show!! My family, friends and I enjoyed the show. It’s the best I’ve ever watched in a long time.. Please do bring it back
Such a great show true I loved season 1 better then 2 but when you cut the series in half all the time now it’s hard to get us to come back making us wait so long. Plus dvd sales didn’t help much probably when you split the season in half people want complete series sets. So wish this would get a few more seasons.
I’m sad to hear the show won’t be renewed. I liked Season One much better than Two but I was happy as long as it continued. Season One was more of a light hearted, happy go-lucky kind of show to watch. Family friendly and all. Season Two was faster paced with more action and plot twists. Too bad there can’t be some kind of finale to sort of tie things up instead of just wasting the whole series with a bunch of unanswered questions at the end. Maybe follow up with a 2 hour episode to finish it off.
Ok!! Bring this show back!!.. I’m pissed!! Who decides to cancel such a amazing show?????
We want Season 3, it is a great family show, so rare to have something exciting to watch as a family. Please bring it back!!!
Please bring back Atlantis! It is one of my favorite shows!
As a matter of fact! There should be more than just 3 seasons!!! This is the best show I’ve seen!! EVER!!!
WE NEED SEASON THREE!!! It’s a shame you would give up this show!! It’s the best show I’ve ever seen!!!!! Why would you leave us on a cliff hanger like this! It’s just wrong!!!!!
