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?
What?! this is the best show ever. I think I even favorite it over Game of Thrones. If I had money I think I’d send some over to keep it running forever. This is ridiculous to let such an amazing show hanging like this.
The people cancelling shows should maybe watch the shows they cancel! Atlantis was a very exiting show!
Just watched the show. Great show. Too bad it did not have a come back. Would love to see more.
Waisted time watching a series left hanging. Very disappointed in the BBC. This is bull….
Why do all the GOOD shows get canceled???? Network moguls are idiots
Please please please renew Atlantis, awesome show! So disappointed it was cancelled.
I love this tv show one of my favorite tv show I ever watch I really want season 3 and keep going on it was really good I want more Episodes please
Please renew this show, there aren’t many of these. Like merlin, this was a fantastisch show, with fanastic actors !! More of this please
Please renew this show, there aren’t many of these. Like merlin, this was a fantastisch show, with fanastic actors !! More of this please ❤️
The fact that they cancelled the show after two great seasons, a semi-well thought out (in terms of realism) and extremely relatable to the human condition show, as well as leaving it on a cliffhanger… This just proves incompetent leadership at BBC.
I am so upset!!!!!! I WANT SEASON 3 NOW!!!!!
Very disappointed. I really enjoyed the plot and all of the characters. Why air a show when you are not going to finish it. Again very disappointed.
Of all the shows to cancel, why remove the one we enjoy and relate to only to leave junk? Whoever makes these decisions should try a different field of work
This is the second show this year that we’ve watched as a family which has been canned after 2 seasons and has left it on a major cliffhanger! Grr…
Seems like BBC doesn’t know when they have a good show. Guess its just about running junk through trying to make money. Atlantis is a great series and should continue. It such bad form to end a season and leave a cliff hanger that will never end.
