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?
This show ruined much of greek mythology , so many mistakes, and atlantis was represent as barbaric as huns were , 2. greek religion was spit on, and their rituals and so many things were they go wrong, but there are so many clues why show was turned , simply atlantis was disapointment, yeah it was decent show, but disapointment ,actors were good, fighting scenes , but you cant create atlantis with houmor in itself, that man who introduced hercules as drunktard …. i mean cmn atlantis how da fck creates atlantis for children , jason as saviour of atlantis… Read more »
For some reason, l liked the show Atlantis. I thought it was interesting & moved along well. I always liked mythology ever since I was a kid. I hope to watch season three when it comes on.
So enjoyed this series. Very disappointed not to be able to see Season 3.
I don’t know why they always keep the crappy shows and cancel all the good ones I think it’s a conspiracy I loved this show. Thank goodness I at least still have game of thrones
WHAT!! No season three! Why must this always happen?! I plead with all the other networks out there to please pick up Alantis for a third season- even if only to give it a proper ending for all of us fans!
We live in Australia and stubbled on series 1 and 2 of Atlantis at our local DVD retailer.
My children and I ‘binge watched’ (viewed multiple episodes in one sitting) and thoroughly enjoyed being able to watch the series as a family. Our quality family time is so often interrupted by swearing, nudity and adult scenes. It was a pleasant change.
Thank you to the creators of this wonderful series. I hope that another broadcaster will see the error of BBC’s way and take the adventure into series 3 and beyond.
Oh my, it seems big money has talked and the “not so well off” lose again! My husband and I started watching this show along with another at about the same time. We are fortunate enough that while we have antenna tv, we also have HULU and Netflix. After a very short time we were watching this show and not the other. Why, why do they always take off shows that are well done? It absolutely boggles my mind! Please, please if there is any room for us “little people” you will realize what a mistake this is and bring… Read more »
Awesome tv show…right from the begining i have always wondered why it wasn’t so popular and i got my answer…at the end of it. I hate to see tv shows with so much potential like this one cancelled, just breaks my heart. Rest in peace Atlantis.
Im not fond of mythology but since i watch this movie i made me realized how nice the story is…Please Im begging you to please bring back the season 3 for us to be satisfied sa end. The writer and the actors are superb..Pleaseeeeeeeee give us chance to see it…God Bless us all
I have watched many series on Tv and found that this was one of the best series I have watched. I cant believe that the producers have stopped producing this great series. It has everything, great acting and storyline. At no stage was the outcome predictable and its different from the conventional series which are being produced on TV at the present time. I congratulate the writers and producers of this series and hope they will reconsider continuing with the series in the future.
Yet another great show that was appropriate for everyone, was well-written, great storylines, good acting…cancelled. But on goes season 7, 8, 9, and on and on of the ridiculous crap still on TV. Reality crap. Vulgar and indecent. No surprise since every halfway decent show gets cancelled. Immoral and inappropriate crap. America’s viewing public majority has been reduced to idiotic mentality. Shame on the networks. All of them! Money hungry, immoral, and just wrong all around.
Oh my that show was beautiful What happened? I need more please!! You cannot end it like that I’m begging
Bring it back it was the best to show ever !!!!!!
Really? No season 3. This is just ridiculous. Why cancel such a great show? Families of all ages could finally find a show to enjoy and you have just taken that away. Please bring it back………!

you can not leave a show ending like that!! they need to bring it back!!!!! I love this show.
