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?
That sucks big time. Atlantis Season 3 should be able to continue. I understand that new series should be introduced but when your on to a good thing you should stick to it, plus the chance of introducing a new series could be a complete flop ( but that’s the risk that must be taken I suppose). I doubt that my input will make any difference, it’s a shame is all.
Why did they cancel a good ahow? Please consider to continue it to season 3. Love this show a lot.
After adding this series to Netflix I started to watch it and to find out it was cancelled after finishing season 2 I was pretty upset please renew the series!!!
Please renew Atlantis for season 3. It has so much potential.
I find it hard to comprehend why great family shows like Atlantis that are imaginative, funny and interesting are being cancelled and all there is left to watch are depressing, violent or negative crime shows that suck the life out of you ?
Please renew the series, season 3 needs to happen
Renew the movie, season 3 got to happen.
Please carry on with season 3 and beyond there is much more to these fables
Love it , love it and love it
Brings back my childhood
The BBC has a bad habit of cancelling shows. Could y’all by chance actually finish something. That would be nice and would make all of the followers of your shows happy. Atlantis was enjoyed by many please reconsider canceling this show.
I really enjoyed Atlantis. I was looking forward to the 3rd season and the quest for the golden fleece.
Me too
My 5 kids and I really enjoyed watching this fantastic series , to be honest not many shows grab my attention. I watched season 2 episode 13 … I am devastated that I will never see the ending. I loved the actors and story line..
I agree. The way season2 ended it was guaranteed that season 3 would have been awesome as well. IT SHOULD NOT HABE BEEN CANCELLED
It probably doesn’t matter now, but it shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I just found the series and every episode get me coming back for the next season.
They cancelled this at least a year ago. In 2015 maybe.
Pasephae strikes again! That nasty woman put a hex on season 3! Only way she could stop Jason! She still looked hot till the end:)
Atlantis is one of the best TV series. It shouldn’t habe been canceled.
I love the show plz don’t cancel it or at least one last one and wrap it up it can’t GPO unfinished
