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?
The cliff hanger ending of Atlantis made me very eager to see the continuation of Jason and company’s journey please please for the love of all things Mythological renew this series. By the greek and roman gods please!
i cant believe it really wy cancel the show i love this show wy do this …..? please u need to continue this u cant leave us like this …..wow wow wow i love the show
This is a very good show and has a lot of action and plots so I have a big problem to understand how a show of this quality could be cancelled with no ending
I’m a huge fan of the show and was gravely disappointed of its cancellation. There is a fan base you should remain loyal too and this was just heartbreaking. Please reconsider this cancellation and give it another shot!
I love this show, very sad there isn’t a season three.
My husband and I loved season 1 & 2 it is a good show we wish to to have season 3 & 4 we need more show like this one. You can not leave it at season 2 please think about it
I do not understand why cancel a serial without no concept of the end? Very disappointed of the cancelation of a quality show of Atlantis.

I just finished season 2 and found out there will be no season 3. Come on….
Why can’t the BBC in fact continue any interesting series concept consistently to the end ?! Every time it stops after Season 2 (the Tripods, Moonbase Alpha …), silly Englishmen …
Well let’s see if the series follows the way of “Torchwood” …
Im disappointed that it was cancelled. Loved the show and looked forward to the new season. It’s a break to the American tv shows and loved the acting.
Give it one more shot. Maybe a few more episodes, it’s ratings may change since the ending of season 2 was perfect.
Not all of us want to spend evenings watching reality tv. This was a very well done show.
My entire family loved this show since we found it. I can’t believe there isn’t more to it. We enjoyed so many episodes so far and have binge watched all of season 1. Now we have to slow down so we can try and enjoy the limited episodes . It’s a shame they are canceling a quality show like this. It’s done so well.
Hey, BBC America, we need atlantis season 3. we love it. it is a good drama series.please please please.
I personally think It should have never been canceled me and my hole family loved it
