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?
I hae fallen in LOVE with the Atlantis series, just got through seeing Season 2. I am really really sad and anoyed that there isn’t Season 3 and it was cancelled respectively. I hope they reconsider making Season 3 as it will put smiles on people’s faces.
Have enjoyed each en every episode it saddens me that there is no 3rd season how come though as the show left is hanging???think they should rethink their decision and bring it back please we beg of u.
It’s not fair that we have been left in suspense… Pls continue the show…
Should definitely air season 3 of Atlantis…. Wonderful series
It should never have been cancelled!!!! I know it’s been ages since it was last on, but I’ve just been watching it again, and I don’t see how you can stop a series midway, virtually, it’s hustle that it was and still is my favourite television show, even if some people decided to end it. I sincerely hope that people, the cast, and BBC haven’t forgotten about Atlantis, and are still trying to get it back, because, first of all, what was the point of writing the next seven epidodes and the third series if you don’t act on it,… Read more »

I literally started crying plz!!!!!!
SEEE. I am so upset. It never fails. You get a clean, non sexual show that is entertaining and funny in some aspects with a great story line and they cancel the bloody thing. I loved this show and they could have gone far with this theme into other myth stories and characters. What a bunch of morons. I am getting to despise those who have the final say. I really hope they reconsider.
I think they should have made a 3rd season.even if they wanted to cancel they left to much in the wind ,to many questions need answered
Nooooo, the absence of a season three is blasphemy against Poseidon!!
How awefull I cry out for season three… The absence there of is blasphemy against Poseidon.
Our family looked forward to tjis series. We were all saddend to hear thete would be no mote. I would even watch them over again whete can we do this? Please bring Atlantis back!!!
So sad that it was cancelled. Why?!!!
Atlantis is my one my favourite tv show. It’s really shame season 3 has been cancelled.
I like to hear season 3 will be release.
