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?

Oh no…….please bring Atlantis back……it is one of the best series I have watched so far…..I was really waiting for the season 3…..plsssssss BBC bring it back…….everybody wants it back…..Thank you
The cancellation is crazy. Just finished Seasons 1 & 2 on HULU. Immediately started looking for info on Season 3, only to find this. A great show with a great storyline that can be enjoyed by all. Do not understand what network personnel can be thinking. They ought to be cancelled.
Atlantis is the most amazing series out. I can’t believe you would leave world viewers hanging without a 3rd season. Come on guys….PLEASE
No way, I’ve been waiting for the third season endlessly. I’ve never came across this article till today, pls don’t do this I really love this movie.
Please bring Atlantis back you have millions of viewers all over the world please renew the series and let it continue please.
Please renew it I would love to see more
Why cancelled season 3 of this show? I love the story and been thinking what will be the end of it.
Please reconsider!
Atlantis Cast: It’s unfair of us to ask them to wait indefinitely (three years passed), let other opportunities pass them by, as things drag out.
renewed would have loved to see if the evil Queen Paciphae Prevailed or Jason and the Good Queen made it against all odds.
Was waiting for season 3 and got this news it is cancelled.This really sucks.
I hate this ., i would like to see Paciphae killed and i love Jayson .,what in the world is going on guys ., resume the season 3!!! this is madness !!!!!!
Why in the world would you consider in cancelling the show where there is 7 billions people would love this…chances to be a success in the future, all you care about rating sh#t to come with moolah. This is a rare opportunity to watch this TV shows which give great script. Why give up, if you can’t follow when Nike Motto says. “Just Do It!” Please bring back to Season 3, you will have a better investment in long term over than rating issues. The heck with rating issues, Go and Do It! What you’ve got to loose???
Why was this tv series ended? There should be 3 more seasons. Why cancelled a show that actually had wonderful story line and entertaining… that’s too really bad…
Merlin was the other great show which ended very abruptly with terribly cheesy ending … really too bad. What a waste especially when so much effort and work were put in the earlier seasons… go figure…history is repeating itself wth Atlantis … really sad.
