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?
I am extremely disappointed that Season 3 of Atlantis has been dumped. The end of Season 2 left us viewers hanging, not knowing how Jason actually gets to finally sit on the coveted throne of Atlantis.
I loved the show. At the end of season 2, I was excited to see Jason about to embark on his quest for the golden fleece. I was terribly disappointed to see that adventure was not going to be realized!
Please renew it’s never too late
Bring it back bruh I know you guys made enough money to pay for it an make some you can see that by the stats therefore there is no reason to discontinue it.
Please make a third season of Atlantis, we love the series.
I was getting into Atlantis and after the second season ending , I did a research if there going be anymore, sadly isn’t I wanted to hear that was it. Anyway I thank you of making it , hopefully it not the end..thank you.
Continue the show, please we are waiting for a new season where the real story should be watched
Should make the third season. Loved the characters and should have finished the storyline.
Very Bad Decision to Cancel!!!
I really enjoyed the series, Atlantis, and am very disappointed that it was cancelled and that fans were left hanging right before Jason’s famed voyage to find the Golden Fleece. I really wish the BBC or Netflix were complete it or at least conclude it in a way that doesn’t leave us hanging. Hercules is such a great character as is Prothagorus, who add humor as well as the love of friendship. Please bring it back.
I can’t believe they ended this great series without a conclusion. This is just wrong and certainly makes me think a lot less of the BBC. I hope they produce another season with the ending! Good grief.
You shouldn’t leave everyone hanging on to a third season, and not give them one!
Renewed for sure great show
No I don’t think it should have ended especially like that they need to make season 3 asap!!!
I like the show and how well the actors carry out their roles in the characters being played and I believe there should be a season 3 and many more cause it’s also a great adventure reality TV series
