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?
Well done, BBC . Another show that would have been good you turned into crap by cancelling it half way through. Why bother watching anything you guys decide to air, I wonder! Set the scene > show a few episodes > cancel. Well, there are other channels that air COMPLETE shows …
What on earth ?!?!?! Why do they always cancel the good ones ?!?!? Stupid decision ……. Really annoyed !!!!
BBC you aparently don’t know when you’ve got a good tv-show with potential…..
******** series go on and on, but good ones you cancel…
You should cancel the %^$#@#$#@ that is cancelling all the good stuff!!!!!!
i don’t understand why bbc feels the need to keep canceling great family friendly shows. I am very dissapionted that this show is being cancelled. Please reconsider bbc!
It’s sad that everytime I get interested in a show it gets canceled. It seems BBC has good shows like Atlantis and Merlin but they cancel them as the stories get good.
a very unwise decision indeed. cancelling the best, then you shouldn’t have bothered starting that way we would not be left in the middle of nowhere. we need the complete season. .
I call bull **** bring it back. Besides top great it was the best show on BBC america.
I love this show and am disappointed that it won’t be renewed!!!
Ugh – another great show being cancelled. I wish they would reconsider.
🙁
i think its a mistake that your cancelling because it was just hitting its stride no telling how far the story boards could have taken it disappointing
This was a good show. It was wholesome and fun to watch.
Please don’t cancel.
I wish they would keep this show! This is an very good show and my family agrees. Which is very rare that we all enjoy the same show.
I hate when they do this why can’t they just keep a good show I mean they get us so in to them the they cancell them making them a big waste of time because we wait and wait for the next but they just cancell like jerks because they think it’s a bad show but really it is the best they can offer but no they just have to take away the best entertainment that we love and are obsessed with the we find this out and now we have nothing to do but wait for your next show… Read more »
Leaning more and more to netflix, amazon etc why bother watching mainstream TV anymore once you watch a show become interested in it they cancel it in the hopes a new show might get slightly better ratings or as some have done had good ratings but cancel a show because the age group the sponsers want to watch TV are not the ones tuning in. Congrats BBC constant cancellations of good shows like Atlantis you just lost a BBC viewer.
