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?
Just discovered Atlantis on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. So disappointed there will not be a third season to an excellent, well acted, well scripted, well directed series. An interesting and creative reimagining of Greek mythology. Will enjoy watching repeatedly and look forward to a possibility of a third and more seasons. Liz
Am not happy at all why would they cancelled season three when the action has just began
Please renew season three, this cannot end this way its not right!!
Atlantis is a great classic show in a time of lousy reality shows. So good to see actors portraying such a classic period. I’d really love to see it picked up for a few more seasons, PLEASE!!
Please make a season 3 it was a awesome show
And Atlantis is an excellent series it’s said that all the good shows and of being canceled or discontinued I would have really enjoyed seen more of this Show
show was great liked the humor should never have been candled . Just to let the BBC know you have some upset fans from across the pond
Big mistake cancelling show! Please reconsider and bring Series back.
I love the movie, and sad with the cancellation. I’m looking forward to seeing the complete movie.
I loved it. I am very upset that you decided to cancel the show. It seems that soon as it get interesting that when most shows cancel. If you going to end it least make sure it ends instead of a cliff hanger.
Please, renew Atlantis! There are so few good tv shows on anymore! Especially for family viewing!
I love shows like this.
Please reconsider and bring us season 3. I love this show!
I really enjoyed watching this show on Hulu. I just don’t understand why they would cancel a good thing for viewers to watch and enjoy. I mean, I can watch this show and put aside my worries momentarily.
Yes season 3 is a must
No!! I’m hanging here waiting for an ending at least. Sadness
