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?
Make a season three I was sceptical to watch at first, but the show grew on me at least give us closure on Jason’s journey.
WTH, just finished season 2 of Atlantis and i find out there is no season 3. i’m done watching series. y’all never finish the stories
you should’ve at least made season 3 and finish it
It is a very bad idea to cancel the season 3 its a very beautiful show we loved ot
renewed
Should be renewed and brought to closure
Should have kept going sure don’t like it when they do this
please bring the 3rd season, you people are moron for canceling such wonderful series
My husband and I just finished Atlantis season 1 and 2 and we definitely feel they should continue with more seasons!
Just finished both seasons and it was great! Don’t understand why it was canceled! Bring it back cause I want to know what happens with Jason and Medea
My husband and I have watched both season one and two and it needs to keep going. There is more to the story and we enjoyed what we have seen so far.. Please bring it back…..
Yes both my wife and I enjoyed the series and are very disappointed that it has been cancelled
Bring it back
I can’t believe this show was cancelled. BBC has the wrong people making decisions about what comes and goes. Put the show back on.
What is pretty messed up is how they cancel a show after leaving a season on a cliff hanger. At least they could have done was wrap up the story line even if it was cancelled
Please bring it back. It is such an amazing series
It was a great series me and my wife loved it but the ending sucked it needs to be finished please bring it back
