About Atlantis

Jason washes ashore in a city spoken of in legends, a place older than any map. He has no idea where he is except that Atlantis may hold the key to his past. He teams with Hercules and Pythagoras, two unlikely allies, and the trio sets out to uncover a world ruled by danger and wonder. They encounter monsters and powers that blur lines between friend and foe, and must decide whom to trust. In this city built from myth, Jason searches for truth and a way home without spoiling the twists ahead.

Atlantis premiered in 2013 on BBC One. Created by Howard Overman, it offers a modern take on Greek myth with Jason and his friends venturing through the legendary city, directed by a rotating team across episodes.

Critics noted its brisk adventurous tone and the way it blends humor with mythic danger. The show centers on trust among unlikely allies, leadership under pressure, and the price of pursuing knowledge as Jason, Hercules, and Pythagoras move through a city built from legend.

Atlantis may not be a household name, but it built a loyal online following and added a distinct visual vibe to myth inspired fantasy on television. Its grand palaces and creature designs left a mark on later fantasy series.

Awards: The series received limited nominations at regional awards and did not earn major honors, reflecting its niche appeal rather than mainstream recognition. Still, performances by the ensemble and production design earned positive notices from fans.
