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?
renew atlantis or i will never watch anything on any of the bbc channels ever again. stopping the show where you did is blasphemy down right absurd.do the world the favor and continue atlantis. even if you sell the show to netflix, hulu or amazon just keep it going for ATLEAST one more season and if you only do one more end it so we arent sitting here waiting for someone to finally realize that you should have made it a year ago
i need atlantis
i miss you jason
please make it happen to release season 3 fastly
please
i really think that a mind, soul touching en-thrilling piece of art as Atlantis is what people wants and define entertainment and if this commentary box is useful and the right place to speak our minds and views, please let the tv program continue and renew it again
we really need season 3
I loved Atlantis. Hated to see it cancelled!
Best show ever. Please make a season 3
IT is a great show. I so like it. It needs a ending. Now it’s just not right way to end. Please have the last season. It is still a great series. Every one hoe watch it is socket in to it. Best story and series . It is sad to know that isn’t coming out. I am from Holand love the show
I think it’s stupid not to bring a season 3 to the world. This show was one of the best based apon greek mythology and I would know I am upsesed with it. This show was no match to any other. It would be a shame to see the potential go to waste
At least make a movie of the finale if there’s not enough interest or budget to continue a series. I agree with some of the other comments, that it’s not very satisfying to leave us hanging like that. It may be two years later after the series ended, but I just now watched season 1 & 2 of this show. Extremely disappointed with the way it ended, but hey, it’s just a show so I’ll get over it if they never make a movie or continue the series.
I enjoyed season 1 and 2 very much. It is a shame that this show was cancelled. I think we need more shows like this that take us away from the popular police, detective, hospital, political shows of this day and age. What a shame. I do hope that a network will pick up Atlantis and continue this drama. Great work to all the actors involved in this fun show.
I enjoyed the tv show Atlantis and i like would it better if the season 3 is released.
I would have love to see a season 3. It was a really good show
I have been reading through only some of the recent comments and I agree it is very annoying to leave such an enthralling show with no ending. Frustrated and disappointed to say the least. I hope these comments are not a waste of time and they get through to the right people and make a difference or it will be just like watching two seasons of Atlantis and have no ending. Find the time and the money and finish, make a season 3 and put us all out of our misery.
How annoying. Why have it on Netflix if we only get part of the story. It’s like ******* game of thrones books, half baked, rrrrrrr
It is really annoying when a good seasonal programme is aired and then is no longer gonna continue. It leaves people’s mind boggled, because we’re never gonna know what happens to the evil queen and the niece and so forth…..sooooo annoying!!!! Make an ending to the programme at least. A great ending!!!
