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 bring Season 3 back.
There has to be a sequel. Someone needs to take out Paciphae.
Fu*k you…coming back Atlantis….i hope Atlantis back
Very upset this has been cancelled. It takes quite a bit to impress me with movies or tv and now I’m honestly pissed. I just found this show a month or two ago and fell in love. I finished the last episode and looked up to see when it came back. To my dismay, it’s done. Of course. Now I just wish I had never started it. Only a saddening.
Don’t know why this was canceled, it’s a good show! BRING IT BACK!!!
Seems to me all the good shows for people like me, that love this kinda stuff, usually get canceled!!!
“Merlin” is another!
bring it back
Yes
very unnerving, to stop something right in the middle is very unfair to the public, especially the people watching the show
So its been axed. Do you know what? I am surprised! You know exactly what was going through the BBC execs minds when they decided to make it, this – What can we do to fill the Merlin time slot while we wait for the next season of Doctor Who? We want something like Merlin, but not Merlin but more or less the same fantasy style show…we have done Robin Hood so that’s out. Game of Thrones is doing well and is very good…I know….lets copy the look of that, and make Merlin of Thrones but set in Atlantis with… Read more »
Loved Atlantis why do you always cancel the good programmes and keep showing the not so good ( there are many) I really got into Atlantis just loved it I am so disappointed we were left so up in the air
Should continue til the end. Who stops in the middle.
It’s a good and interesting show and should air til the end. Very upset as I saw it got cancelled while I google when the 3 Season is going to come out!!!
I enjoyed this program and it is a shame its been cancelled. This happens way to often after the audience is hooked on a featured series only to learn that future series have been cancelled, I hate this. I am very unhappy!!!
Me to
Maybe it’s better to make a new TV show, based on the original story of Jason. Of course, with modern adaptation. Do not make a copy of Merlin again.
Jason – A different type of Greek hero. There are many heroes, foes, and gods in Greek mythology. Perhaps one of the most famous figures in Greek mythology is Hercules (or Heracles as he was known by Greeks), but there are more tales to be told such as Jason’s. Jason’s story is one with many twists and turns, and it spans over decades.
Why are you all canceling all the good shows emerald city and now Atlantis ☹️
I found this show on Hulu, it is a good clean family show. However I think the show would have faired better if the princess had not been so naive, and soft. I mean there was nothing enpowering about her, she did the right thing all the time, and yes she was brave. But that’s the problem she was too perfect. I think more women or young lady’s would have watched and found strength to relate too this world with had she been more fearless and independent. Each character sends a message to its viewers and hers was more like… Read more »
I just started to watch it 2 weeks ago and I just finish both seasons on Hulu and I was really into it and it left me with a big shock that BBC would cancel this good show
