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?
Very disappointed about the cancellation of Atlantis. I grew up watching shows like this and am highly upset that they keep disappearing altogether. Please bring it back!!
Shame on you BBC people love this show, bring it back at least for a good finale. We the people deserve that ending!!!
Very disappointed that this show was canceled. Please Bring the show back. If your not going to do more than 2 seasons why waste your time even starting the show. This was a great show and my little one loved watching it. Not very happy
Very disappointed it will not return
Should have continued the series
Typical. They continue series that suck, but cancel the good ones, especially when they do not end it properly, leaving you hang.
I have just started watching the show and love it. It leaves me wondering what happens to Jason and his friends. It is sad that the BBC stops before completing the story.
Bring it back is not fair.
I hate when series are canceled without a ending. This was a very good series. This sucks !!! Why does this keep happening just like the outsiders. I will check episodes before I watch any of them again.
I think it was rude and upsetting to end the series with a cliff hanger. I was very upset to find out no season 3. Bring it back.
Bring it back I want to see Oedipus Rex
My Family and I loved the first 2 Seasons and watched every episode of each!! I know a comment has been a long time coming from me but PLEASE PLEASE someone get everyone together and renew for a wonderful and long awaited Season 3!! I sincerely thank you all
Again those in charge could care less about viewers. Good series . Wastedat the whim of some clown
If I had known there wasn’t going to be a season 3, I’d never have watched the first 2.
A real pity to cancel. Please re-consider, it was very good
Please please continue season 3
I here that. Lots of them do that and it’s not fair. It sucks. Bring it back !!!
