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?
Oh no John Uphoz. The gay theme. Homosexuality is normal and acceptible. Views like yours are not.
Please! Don’t stop the show. Atlantis is a nice show.
Renewed. Definitely. I love this series and it aas amazing! I hated it when it was canceled! I wish bbc will allow just one more season! One more season would’ve been enough because they left with such a cliffhanger! I hope they bring it back!
i loved watching atlantis and hope to see an end not like alphas and other series witch leaves you always a bad taste because of a cliff hanger as they say in usa!!!! so please try to let us see a third and last season, thank you very much for this super show!
Season three should be relaesed because i want to know what happened with jason and the queen
I love this show. It should have been renewed or picked up by another network. They left us hanging, wondering what happens next. They should have given us at least one more season to tie things up with a proper ending.

Are you serious ?!!! All you show here is reruns of Top Gear, Star Trek:The Next Generation and Doctor Who ! I mean, I can understand showing these shows 2 maybe 3 times during the day but NOT all day long. I am SO upset that this show has been cancelled. :'( How could you do this to all your fans ??? PLEASE bring it back !!!
Nooo please don’t cancel it….it’s a great show please bring it back please!!!!!!!
I’ve recommended it to a ton of my friends and now they are mad because the show ended.
It should not have been cancelled. There is still much more to the story.
It should not have been cancelled. it still had a long way to go.
I think Atlantis should not have ended the way it did; BBC always cancels the good shows like Atlantis and HEX. I wish they would stop doing that.
Love the show!!!! Please don’t cancel it!!!!!
I actually like the series, unfortunately got into in its last season. BBC should rethink cancelling it. It has a great story line I really love Greek Mythology. If you are going to cancel it at least finish the story.
Keep the show going. I love Atlantis is a great show.
My wife and I have enjoyed watching Atlantis (I even bought season one on DVD), the series story lines keep getting better. I recommended the series to my friends and they too enjoyed it. I hope to see a 3rd season, with that said, the last 3 episodes started going in a direction that all of us agreed was uncomfortable and that is the gay theme. There have been at least 8 TV shows that I and my friends liked and stopped watching because of the gay theme. A real shame. TV shows have been losing viewership and the entertainment… Read more »
A “Pythagorus” married Nero in Roman History. Why would you want them to change history for your comfort? It’s a great, creative show and not pushing any particular theme, in my opinion. I wish it would be continued next season.
