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?
This show is awsome. I think if it is brought back even after so many years, even if it is just as a 5 part mini series to finish it up. Give it a ending. People will be satisfied and it will go down as one of the best limited series of our time.
I really enjoy this serial. I must see season 3. Please! (^_−)☆
this is a great show, I would love to see it come back, they shouldn’t have cancelled it to start with.
Please make a 3rd season I love this show I need more
I loved the show and I hate how it ended on a cliff hanger. They should just finish it off with a third and final season.
This has just GOT TO RETURN!!! LOL!! I’m so Enthralled with this show!! Does anyone know if the filming done (last 7 which were filmed for Season 3…) is available to buy?? In US or ANYWHERE?? Please renew this show… it’s quite Fabulous-
I have binge watched both seasons – not even thinking remotely that it would not be picked up for a third- or even 4th season. That is completely unacceptable in my mind. Please reverse your decision or let another network pick it up. I think the show is amazing. You laugh – you cry- you become entwined with the characters. Thanks for leaving us hanging in the wind. I’m sure the writers have more to deliver to us.
Hi, just watched season 2 and now I need to know what happens next! Please change your mind! Your welcome to film in NZ for free! Our government gives good discounts! Make it 5 yrs on even lol
i think the show of atlantis should return for season three
Why can’t another network pick this show up???
I have been waiting on season three for a long time! I need to see what will happen! Please bring it back!!!
Please bring this show back. Very interesting. I just watched the 2 seasons this week and yearn for more…please
I need to watch season 3 this series is super interesting I love it I wanna know Jason fate and ariadna pls
Nooooo please. We need Season 3. Not fair!!!
NOOOOOO!! This show must continue – how can BBC be so cruel to Atlantis’ faithful viewers. The show’s writers framed the characters of the Greek mythologies in a manner that made the stories quite believable and interesting.
