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.

At the end of Jason did not match the different versions. They all die Medea makes poor Glauco, daughter of the king of Corinth, who has not committed another crime to love Jason. Glauco This is one of the side of the legend that one day, for work of a poet, you can move to the forefront. But in some versions of the children were stoned by Corinthians after the death of Glauco. This is the version of Diodorus. In the version of Euripides, Medea kills her children.The last final of Jason and Medea is also explained in various ways.… Read more »
Jason – The early story(Greco-Roman mitology) The myth says that in the land of Thessaly, the city of Iolcus, there lived Pelius and his half-brother Aeson, born of the same mother Tyro, but of different fathers, Pelias of god Poseidon and Aeson of Cretheus, who was the King of Iolcus. One day, Poseidon, filled with lust for Tyro and from their union were born Pelias and Neleus, twin boys. After the death of Cretheus, Pelias usurped the throne from Aeson, the rightful heir and had him imprisoned. His plan was to murder all of the relatives of Aeson and even… Read more »
Great show, needs to be renewed for another season
No! I just finished watching season 2 on Hulu and I want more. Every time I find a show I like, they cancel it.
Do you know a TV show that has been canceled and later restored ? At least one name.
Cancelling Atlantis is so sad. This series equals Merlin and losing it on a pivotal cliff hanger is
aggravating. I love this series and am so disappointed in the BBC America for doing such a rotten stunt.
Please BBC, does not betray the Atlantis fans. Release the third season.
I can’t believe they ended it!!! I will not stop being upset about this!! The next season looked awesome! It reminds me of what once upon a time does with original tales but makes them different and I love that! I love jadea as well! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!
