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?
Maybe they can just tell us the story of series 3 in written if they can not film it.
That would be more appropriate instead of hanging people in the middle of the new and best part
Why..why…why!!! This was a great series! If you had the intentions of canceling the series; why not ended the series with a positive ending. Such as his mother staying dead?? You stop the series with a cliffhanger.
Why is it when you finally find a great series, some idiot decides to cancel it and just leave you hanging. Those responsible for the cancelation should be tarred, feathered, and fired.
Agree….love the series.. just finish season 2 and would have been great looking forward to season 3
To think BBC keeps pushing The New DW instead of an actual decently made better acted program.
Very disappointed. Post the next 2 shows to finish out the season!
Should not have been canceled leaving fans hanging where they left it hanging. If canceling at least leave it with a victory over Jason’s mother.
It is sad to watch season 1 and two on Hulu just to fine out there is not a 3rd season. This was a great show to watch. What is wrong with BBC, this show should have been going on to more episodes. It is better then some shows they air.
What a friggin disappointment. Just finished 2nd season of show and looked online to find out that there wasn’t a 3rd made. Don’t know if makers of show had no clue they were going to be cancelled or what, seems like if they had known, they would have had some kind of closure, but someone really dropped the ball and left fans very disappointed.
I really enjoyed the Atlantis series. It had everything…action, suspense, action, romance, magic, mythical creatures. I’m VERY disappointed the series has been cancelled…leaving it at a cliffhanger moment! Being made by the creator of the Merlin series, it is of stellar quality. What’s wrong with you people? How can you just cancel it???
I would love to have more parts on BBC. I recently got into it. It’s great!
Is there a second part to Atlantis where Jason going to the Calis cytr to stop his mothers powers? is there more to the story?d
They should finish what they started so yes they should make a season three.
Love it. Make season 3.
I loved Atlantis. I wish it had third season to conclude story.
I watched both seasons in less than 3 days sad there won’t be more seasons.
