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?
Wow…..a piece of my life is now missing…. Would you end that show???? It was so good, I watched both 1 and 2 twice and it lead to nothing!!! You have angered the gods
I wish they had not canceled! I’m very disappointed!
YES IT SHOULD. IT LEFT US HANGING HERE IN THE USA.
Yes, they should have a movie and end it. There is nothing worse than when they end a good show without ending it. I don’t get why they canceled it. It was great!
Would love too see season 3 , love it watch 1-2 over and over
That series deserves a proper ending it was so nice I finished season 2 and hastened for season 3 but no season 3 how could you guys do that
I want a season 3 of Atlantis it’s an awesome series you guys suck to have cancelled it
My wife and I just finished watching the first two seasons and were glued to the tv. We were so sad to see that there wasn’t a season 3. It was a phenomenal show! I wish there was some way that this series could return!
My husband and I just finished up watching Atlantis on Hulu here in America – and we loved it! We’re so sad that there isn’t a Season 3… Why? It was such a great series…The plot, the writing, and the cast of actors were phenomenal!
Yes I believe that the cast and crew deserve to have another season. As well as us the fans. It was a remarkable show. I hate to see it end.
The TV show Atlantis – Should’ve not been canceled.
I just got HULU and I am saddened that there was only 2 seasons of Atlantis. I truly enjoyed it. I hate when I find something I like and they don’t do more seasons. At least you could do one more and end it proper!!
I just finished both season wish there was a 3rd.
Atlantis was a great and historic television show that made me keep watching until the end. I am greatly saddened that the show was canceled after just two seasons. I am also disappointed in the BBC for not allowing such a wonderful show continue to a more creative story line ending. As like many great shows, it was cancelled do to the incompetent leaders at the BBC. If any executives from the BBC read this, please give this show it’s just deserts for a greater storyline ending.
I believe they should make the third season. Being the fact that it didn’t end how people would expected to finish, at least one more would be great to watch with a fantastic ending.
Thank you,
Saul
I think they should make another season
