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?
We would like to express our displeasure at the end of the two season..because its first,Both seasons are so beautiful and superb..please give us the third series of Atlantis..there is a lot of curiosity about the future…
Please a season should be dropped
Why would you cancel without a conclusion? We binged the whole first two seasons and was looking for the release of the next season to find it’s been canceled. It had a great combination of good story line and comic relief. Now the wicked queen is back to life, and we don’t know what happens!
I loved watching it & so did my husband. We binged watched it lol.
I am just sick to hear that Atlantis will not be going to season 3, I just got done watching season 2 last night and thought I would check on here when season 3 would be coming out only to learn it was canceled. I loved that show, you really could have at least given us an ending chapter.
Yes bro..
I’ve been watching this series as it plays currently on Hulu. Just viewed the last episode of Season 2. I am so disappointed to read that there is no Season 3 to follow! I loved the series and it was just getting better as it went along. Season 2 definitely left us with a cliffhanger, and now where is our resolution? Can’t it be picked up and moved forward?
Episode 14 season 3 common found this and going to leave us hanging just when things get real. Someone’s gotta pick this up.
Found this show while streaming and couldn’t stop watching. I hope they change their minds and add more episodes.
I watched it as it first aired on BBC America, and I fell in Love with the series and have watched it countless times since then on various platforms. I truly wish there was more seasons and I still think there could be!!
Why cancel an already amazing show where there’s a clear following of viewers? If there’s a concern for making room for new shows, then, put a limit on how many new shows will be aired until the current shows have concluded. The difficult decision would’ve been to bring current shows to a resolution. It’s easy to cancel.
I love this show and am saddened that it isn’t continuing still 🙁
It is such a shame that the show was not finished. I have watched the first two 3 times now. To find out how it all ends would’ve been a plus. Is there a book available to continue at least reading the ending? Jason and the Argonauts is the nearest dvd from 2000 that may be similar. It would be nice to see a finale but surely the original actors are busy doing something else.
Please continue this series. It was my and wife’s favorite series. It was fresh, with a storyline that kept you coming back for more. It had the feel of Game of Thrones and the Lord of the Rings. It would be a shame not to continue it to complete the story. Please don’t leave us hanging
I’m heartbroken there is not a season three!
I just binged watched it on Hulu and really would appreciate a third season to finish it!
LI was extremely disappointed ! A real let down to not get to see at least season three ! To leave a ending like that was awful We will never get to see a end to the story ! Lousy way to run a production ?
