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?
Please reconsider a season 3?
Such a great show and such a cliffhanger
Really want to see season 3
Loved the show should be a third season I’m all for it
Shouldn’t of been cancelled!!!
I loved this program,but it ended in 2015. Why all the comments now? Was it aired recently?
It’s on Hulu I just recently watched it
oh good
Are you kidding!!! Why would you not bring out a 3rd season of Atlantis? Absolutely love the show, fell in love with the characters and now I’m left with NOT knowing if the queen will ever die and if Jason will ever take his rightful place on the throne of Atlantis. Absolutely devastated!!!!
If anyone is listening, PLEASE BRING BACK ATLANTIS!!! This is all, Rant over!
Wes
Amen!!!
Third season please!!!! Great show and now highly disappointed knowing I won’t get to see the queen die and Jason take his rightful place on the throne of Atlantis. If there is anyone listening! PLEASE BRING BACK ATLANTIS.
There is so much that needs to be wrapped up.
Does Jason become the King as he is rightful heir?
Does he end up dying?
More scenerios that could be played out.
It is a disappointment that Atlantis will not be continued! It is a very good show.
This show should be renewed. There is so much that needs to be wrapped up! It is clever, funny, and intense. I was so disappointed to find out there was no continuation. For shame BBC!
Hello everyone, can we send all of these comments to the BBC please?
Are they aware of our comments?
Can we send it several times for maximum effect?
I have started to re watch the series Merlin- the same basic crew also worked on Atlantis and Merlin went for five seasons!
Do you need extra petitions- it is not too late. Please let us know what else we can do!
We are the viewers and subscribers after all!
I Google searched season 3 of Atlantis and found this article. I feel utterly heartbroken. This is how Hercules must have felt when Jason cut off the head of Medusa. How could you?
We just finished watching the season 2 & loved it so much. Then finding out that there’s no season 3….that’s not fair for us all. Why putting the 2 seasons if you’re not going to continue this at all.
Please, please consider to continue…we’re addicted to watch this show.
No I liked it. so not fair!!!!
Atlantis was a family show, with the brilliance of the creators of the Merlin series, and deserves several more seasons.
If Doc Martin can be filmed every two years, with two more seasons planned, then a series that transcends worlds should be given another go.
We have enough crime and detective shows out there.
Please earnestly reconsider.
I cannot purchase another series of Atlantis if one is not available!
I really loved the show. It had a very good storyline… Please consider renewing season 3
