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?
PLEASE PLEASE bring back Atlantis I really enjoyed watching it on a Saturday evening, why take it off, it was entertaining for both children and adults, it wrong that we have to endure such rubbish on tv. Atlantis was a really nice change and was getting the DVDs too. To whom it concerns please bring it back.. X
This is ridiculous!! Why would you cancel a great show!!!
Best show ever I loved it to bits bring it back PLEASE
I want this show to continue
Why….? This show really started to grow on me.. Before I knew it I was hooked I can’t believe its gone… Please bring it back I have to know what happens.. :'(
This was such an amazing show. To see it end is so disappointing. Please please please reconsider bringing it back. You all have so many fans.
What a shame that it has not been renewed. It is a great show and the characters are filling in their roles so well. It’s such an interesting show and I love the characters. Why is it whenever there is a good show they cancel it and whenever there is an incredibly stupid show they renew it until you know what freezes over?
Really sad that it was cancelled, it was such a great show and to leave it hanging is just unfair
I really want to see what happens after the last episode in season 2. BBC please reconsider and air season 3
I loved Atlantis! They should totally cast the next season!
This is so sad you finally find something decent on TV and they take it off it figures.
Whaat??? The viewers were left hung!
Absoluted gutted that the bbc are not making a third season off atlantis, how it was left indicates that it was following on to a third, the bbc should really do the right thing anl commision a third season and if not any more after that to end it properly and no on a cliff hanger. BBC please reconsider, do the right thing and commision a third season of atlantis for all the fans of the show out there who watched and followed it all the way though, myself included.
so sad the show isnt coming back i liked it
The cliff hanger ending of the second season really made me eager to see the continuation of Jason and company’s journey. Please please renew this show for all the people who love mythology and mythology related shows.
