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?
Atlantis should be renewed for a third season
It should have continued! I just finished viewing episode 13 of Season 2 on Amazon channel in the USA. Was there any more episodes filmed after Episode 13?
Very disappointing, this is not finished, this not an ending, need to know how it ends.
Please release season 3 we begg you guys
We need season 3, season two ended abruptly and we need to connect the story
I agree with all the other comments; there should definitely be a season 3 ! The way season 2 finale episode ended is maddening! If I had known that it would abruptly end this way with no future exposures, I probably wouldn’t have watched it. Such a cliff hanger.
Please reconsider and run the next season. I have thoroughly and completely enjoyed watching Atlantis.
Wow! Whoever chose to not only cancel this show, but end it the way they did must have not been too bright. So sad to have it not continue.
I cant’t believe it was cancelled. Wonder if there was a reason other than economics. So much more material, Jason and the Golden Fleece, Jason and the Argonauts
We stumbled onto this show and just finished season 1. We love it, and we’re sad to see there are only 2 seasons. Should have kept it going.
You need to release the 3rd season.. ratings weren’t Hugh due to your own poor advertisement abilities. This show was great and why should I watch anything by your company if you don’t release the whole story and drop off in the most intense and interesting parts of them.
I think season 3 should be done. The story isn’t over. Please continue it.
The show is interesting and I really think season three should be done….i love it
I NEED season 3!!
I think it sucks that it stopped the way that it did!!! after watching the full series and to not see the rest of it it so disappointing!!! You need to air the rest of the series. we would like to see the way it ends
Just watched season 1 and 2. Hate there is no season 3. This is a awesome story line and hope mind’s change on canceled season
It is an awesome show you guys have to finish it it would be ashamed not to finish it good job so far thanks
