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?
Really you couldn’t finish series out. now we won’t know happens to the city or if the main characters find peace and happiness in their lives.. I agree with the others comments from viewers of the show, Don’t start something and not finish it.. that’s just craziness.. please finish what you start, and just be loyal to your viewers..
Shame on BBC! They absolutely should finish the story. Why would any of us start watching another season of something else they produce when they won’t commit to finishing it. Not going to fall for it again. That’s for sure!
If you’re not going to commit to completing the story, don’t start it. Mark is right, a movie would have worked
Should have never been cancelled, needed an ending, 2 hr movie would have done it!
It was really sad to hear it stopped production.
They should rethink their decision and restart the show.
I love this show and is the best show I’ve ever watched please continue the 3 season???
Just caught up on watching Atlantis on Hulu. This show was great! Why can’t they at least do a two hour Series Finale. The cast and fans deserve to see an end.
I love Atlantis. I want more. I love how they have kept pretty close to the stories with characters and events. Please bring it back. The show is so exciting !!!
RENEW IT
Atlantis is one of the best seasonal s I have ever watched…the decision to trash is ill informed…BRING BACK ATLANTIS.Even if it for a 3rd season…just conclude the story for your loyal viewers.
Atlantis was very entertaining! If you are not going to do a season 3… at least create a movie to wrap things up. For any new TV series that doesn’t make it, this should be a producer requirement. If it isn’t, those responsible for making the cuts are not doing their job. The ratings should or should not be driving a movie backup.
I have no idea what the people that decide to cancel the shows are watching. They wait on till they have a good show that people are watching And then they are the ones that they cancel Leaving trash on television for us to watch. Why is this? Why do you even news polls if your not going to listen to the Why is this? Why do you even news polls if your not going to listen to Them. Is not about what you like it is about what we like, We are the ones that go buy what you… Read more »
I’m so sick of this! If producers decide to make a show, they should make it and stop cancelling before they wrap it up. It’s not fair to those of us who are loyal to the show. It builds bad blood and shouldn’t be done.
Please! LET THERE BE A THIRD SEASON! Don’t leave us hanging like this!
