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?
Really disappointed to read that the series has been cancelled. My husband, dau age 10 and I have been watching this programme together and discussing the various twist and turns after each episode. Duch a shame please bring it back…
Just got through watching both seasons and LOVED it. Disappointed with the incomplete ending and reading that it got canceled. Great acting, all the actors did a wonderful job portraying their character. I loved the main characters.. funny, serious, caring and loving moments. Sooo sad it had to end! Bring them back, please…
Super sad this was cancelled, please reconsider and bring it back. you left us all hanging on what is going to happen.
It is very sad to have seen a very exciting and well produced show such as Atlantis be placed into permanent hiatis. The future was bright and the concept genius in bringing the myths of ancient Greece to a new audience. May it soon be revived.
We really enjoyed the show and were looking forward to The next season. Really sad they cancelled it. Maybe another company can pick it up? I’d still watch
Absolutely love this show! Can’t believe they canceled it! Sadly now It’s a “Greek tragedy”
Great show if your into mythology. Totally bad move that it was cancelled.
Was looking forward to another season. Loved the series. Started searching when season 3 was gonna air and was very disappointed to learn it had been cancelled. Watched the series on Hulu.
They should bring it back to at least put an ending to the show! To many times they decide to end a series leaving an open ending. Super frustrating for those who follow it! Maybe Hulu should pick it up and make new seasons as a Hulu original version of the show!
Disappointed as a viewer!
Only recently found the show and enjoyed it. Wish they hadn’t left it like that though. Sad, such a cliffhanger in the end… really wish they could least finished with a movie or something. What is with these companies canceling suddenly with cliffhangers like that?
With it being on Hulu is gained a lot more popularity they should bring it back and finish the series with a few more seasons
I just found the show. I love it and now it’s over. That’s too bad because it was really really good!
Should not have cancelled the show. This a a really good series, but now we are all just left hanging. What the heck you could have at least put an end to it before you cancelled it
Love this show….. really sucks that they canceled it couldn’t stop watching it… really sad right now
The bbc should have never cancelled the show. it brought to life my dreams and imaginations. I love greek mythology and no other tv show has amazed me as much as this one. Someone needs to make another petition and gather all the viewers to sign it and it will be renewed.
