TV show description:
In this fantasy TV series, Jason (Jack Donnelly) is a young man whose father disappeared years ago when he was a child. He pilots a one-man submarine to investigate a deep sea disturbance. When he gets close, the sub fails, he’s pulled into a white light, and Jason ends up on the shores of the ancient fabled kingdom of Atlantis.
A magical place filled with legendary creatures, secrets and deceit, Atlantis is ruled by traditional King Minos (Alexander Siddig) and his manipulative wife, Queen Pasiphae (Sarah Parish).
He’s befriended by a pair of unlucky locals — an overweight, hard-drinking former prize fighter named Hercules (Mark Addy) and Pythagoras (Robert Emms), an intellectual who’s very fond of triangles. The three encounter monsters, gods and demigods, as they live the Greek myths and battle to do good and protect the innocent.
Before long, Jason catches the eye and heart of the beautiful Ariadne, the princess of Atlantis whose family and royal standing restricts who she may love. This brings the young man face-to-face with the treachery of Queen Pasiphae.
Thankfully, Jason finds guidance and protection with the revered Oracle (Juliet Stevenson). He learns that Oracle was expecting him. It’s no mistake that he found the shores of the famed city -– it was fate.
Episode #25 — The Queen Must Die: Part Two
As Jason and Ariadne prepare to return to power in Atlantis, they must decide who they can trust. Anxieties run high as our heroes form new alliances with old enemies while questioning those they love. As they enter the city for the first time since Pasiphae’s death, only one thing is certain — nothing will ever be the same again.
First aired: August 8, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Atlantis TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I think BBC has made a HUGE mistake. Not only did they cancel the best tv show that BBC has but they left us hanging. If they don’t want it and they care more about ratings then sell the rights to another company, hopefully in the US. This show has people not only in the UJ watching but I’m the US as well. When it first aired BBC said this show would be as great as Robin Hood but it’s better. What happened? Honestly, I don’t have cable and I live in the US so I wait patiently for tv… Read more »
We are all looking forward for season 3, what is taking them so long? We love the Series so much.

i think they should come out with a season3 i just dont get why they would get rid of a very good show
From France
We are really, deeply disappointed, we hoped a season 3. And we still hope. A genuine good program.
Dear BBC, would you consider to change your decision ? We are so glad that your channel produce fantastic series as Merlin and Atlantis. Please …
For french public, perhaps you should ask, or even better compel our channels to preserve systematically the original version, in english, with subtitles. So everybody could see and enjoy how amazing the actors are. And they are, thanks to them !
We signed and share this petition :

I think that the people that cancelled this great series should be AXED!!!
I think as a tv licence payer we should vote on this show carrying on for a third series. This is my favourite show and I know I wouldn’t I would vote for the show to carry on.
Who is with me?
I just can’t believe my eyes that they have cancelled Atlantis …. Sorry to say this but r de ******* crazy! Y do de keep cancelling bu best series and leaving de so comedy drama series.
I cannot think of one reason that this show would be axed and at such a stupid point in the series. It means that those of us who have followed and enjoyed it will never know what becomes of our hero and his friends. I will sign the petition but fare that the Beeb will maintain their closed minded stance such a shame :o(
I LOVE this show and it’s the main reason I pay for BBCA! I sure hope it’s not cancelled!
Go here to sign a petition to BBC to bring Atlantis back please.

assalamualaikum,
the serie is great and full by adventure and humour… i am watching the first season now at kompas tv Indonesia.
i hope it would be continuous … dont cancel.
I found Atlantis by accident and my husband and I both watched Season 2 first and enjoyed it immensely. I has EVERYTHING! Friendship, love, adventure, humor, fantasy and more! We then saw season one on reruns and were so looking forward to season 3, especially since the storyline was not ended. I sincerely hope the producers will reconsider and continue this wonderful series. Susan
I love Atlantis. The three characters complement each other so well and it gives one an insight into the mythical world. Why do good wholesome shows always have to be cancelled so soon? I will miss being transported to the make believe. I wish they change their mind and bring it back.
