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?
Umm… What’s up with BBC AMERICA? Every time I start watching one of the series on this network, I get hooked & then it’s over, gone never to be seen again!!! The same thing with Merlin… Watching it hooked on the entire series, waiting for the RETURN & BAM !!! It’s GONE, LOST FOREVER!!! Maybe I shouldn’t watch this network at all & then I won’t be disappointed!!! Hey BBC you really should do better with the way u cancel the series on the network… There are people who really enjoy them & that should really be concidered!!! It’s hard… Read more »
Renewed..I really like this show. It sucks that y’all cut it short on season 2 episode 6. That was so wrong,now I want more of the series and y’all should give the fans what they need no matter. Oh yeah!! With the SAME caste members. P.S..Thanks!!
Typical bbc, keeps the trash and throws out the class. This programme was absolutely fantastic, a breath of fresh air, but alas unless it’s a period drama (YAWN) the bbc don’t want to know…..we should all stop paying any licence to these baffoons
I am sorely disappointed that Atlantis was not renewed. I watched both seasons and now do not now where it ends. Please bring the final episodes to BBC America. Or better yet, refurbish it and renew!
There remains only the hope that someone will in the future make a TV show that follows the original story of the hero Jason and his wife, witch/sorceress/goddess Medea.This story consists of many parts: Golden Fleece story, Return home story, Iolcus story, Corinth story, Athens story, Aegina story, Calydonian Boar story, Colchis story, Final story (Jason from mortal man becomes a god healer – worshiped in many temples in the East). A lot of good material for a future TV show.
Atlantis authors have made a new tv show !! A new British comedy horror series Crazyhead has premiered on E4 on October 19, 2016 and should stream internationally on Netflix after the UK transmission. The six-part show hails from Urban Myth Films, is created and written by Misfits creator Howard Overman and executive produced by Overman with Julian Murphy and Johnny Capps. The six-part series premiered on E4 on 19 October, 2016 in the United Kingdom, and streams internationally on Netflix following UK transmission.
I was hooked from the opening sequence of this new show, which almost made me choke on my biscuit. I thought it was very funny, well acted, well paced, good effects; and nice use of a frankfurter sausage for comedy effect! Me and my friends loved this crazy ass series! Fun n gory ! Other than that it seems fun and it could be awesomeness. I liked it !
I think that there should be a season 3 atlantis has no reason to be canceled it is a awwwesssomee show you have no right to leave us on cliff hanger
This show should continue. Good family entertainment. Who cares if it doesnt follow greek mythology completely, it is all about escapism to another world.
This show should continue. Love it. Good family entertainment.
Great show. Please renew it!
This is an excellent show and should have a season 3 I always like shows that end up ending with a bad plot for a last episode and I would hate for one to end that way too so it would be much appreciated if u could please give a season 3
that was a good family show lots of people still like that,its a shame we have no movies we can watch with our familes
Atlantis should have season 3!
We should be able to see all the final episodes. It wasn’t fair leaving us in a clifhanger over here in U.S. But it should not have been cancelled in the first place.
I am very disappointed Atlantis did not come back on BBCA. I was a big fan and have been wondering if episodes would re-air over here. It was several months between seasons anyway, so I kept hoping. The BBCA should show all the episodes of all seasons.
So truly Atlantis is not coming back? that will be a joke isn’t it? Please bring it back at make a cinema movie; pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
