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 cancelation is totaly stupid. Its a good show watched by many. Why leave us hanging like that ?? Anywhere we can sign a petition ?? Or perhaps somewhere else we can voice our displeasure ? I know its now 2020 but its should be rebooted…..and with the same actors . Note… Remember star trek ? Its wasn’t popular at first , but look at it now. Big mistake here with Atlantis .
renew dammit season 3. Jason and medea
Loved the show, what a bummer to leave us hanging like that, bery disappointed to end so abruptly. Like reading a good book and the last two chapters are missing.
Season three needs to go on. It can’t be cancelled in the middle of not knowing.
BBC made a big mistake cancelling this show. It needs to be picked up by Hulu Netflix or Amazon. I’ve had 8 friends ask me if I had seen it because I like this genre so I started watching it on Hulu. Very good story line, everything you want in a show. Can’t believe when I finish season 2 it’s over. Kinda don’t want to watch anymore because it will end so quick.
We just binge the 2 seasons and can’t believe they canceled it
We loved the Atlantis series and would like to see it continue. The ending of season 2 was incomplete
I am still unsure as to the reason behind cancelling such a compelling show. I know I am late to the party but this story line cannot be left as is. Please give us a 3rd season
Please finish, I know plenty of time had passed but at least a film to close it
PLEASE make a season 3!!!!!!!! Too awesome to not finish
Please finish it. Such a cool story. I hate to see it end like this
If you can’t finish it you shouldn’t have started it. You owe it to us.
Should be renewed wth
We need a third season. It can’t just end like that.
Renew for season 3! There is still story to tell. Why leave a big cliff hanger if there isn’t a 3rd season.
Do not canell season 3. Are you episode cancellers manipulated by Pasiphae????? Please break free off her spell. Let us have another season
