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 re-watched both series on i-player – didn’t realise that there was no Series 3, so disappointing. Fun series to watch!
omg i loved this and am so disappointed there is no season 3 what a shame
We are bereft. We have very much enjoyed this series and wish for more.
Why can’t we have a series 3 it’s a great program I will miss it
The show was absolutely fantastic and I will pay for another season season three that is
Atlantis needs a season 3 even if it’s a couple episodes to finish what was started, or are y’all fine with half assing things?
Great show. It should be brought back to have an end.
I could not stop watching, so good. It should be brought back for a season 3 to bring it to an end.
It needs a season 3. It is a good story line and needs to be finished
jeg synes dette er synd for jeg syntes denne serien var så bra og sesong 3 så jo så spennende ut, men sånn kan det gå, håpe på i fremtiden at dere kanskje kan lage noe flere sesonger.
We would have liked to know the down fall of Pasifa and how the journey of Jayson and the queen progress
please I and the Atlantis’ fans request for a season 3 to end the tv show in satisfaction. PLEASE
What a shame.This is fun to watch.
don’t like the way they leave everyone who liked the show hanging. There should be a season 3 to end it properly
I just found this on Hulu. I loved the series!! I am very sad that there are no more. They should at least make a half a season to, somehow, end it properly.
