Atlantis - Series 2
13 x 45mins for BBC One
The unmissable series returns and the time has come for Jason to fulfil his destiny – or Atlantis will be lost beneath the waves forever.
A year has passed and much has changed. With Minos dead, Ariadne is Queen and finds herself at war with her old adversary: Pasiphae.
The kingdom stands on the brink of collapse and the struggle for power is both bloody and brutal. With the future looking bleak, Ariadne turns to her most trusted friends for support and so Jason, Hercules and Pythagoras are thrust to the very heart of politics and power in the city.
As the battle for the throne intensifies, loyalties and love are tested to the limit and the responsibilities of duty become increasingly unforgiving. These difficult times require hard choices for all as secrets and lies become the currency of choice and no one is immune to betrayal.
Atlantis Series 2 is strikingly cinematic with ambitious production values and an impressive international cast. Richly serialised storylines merge seamlessly with the myths and legends of classical Greek literature to create a unique and intriguing blend of high fantasy drama and gripping action adventure: a fresh and enthralling approach to these much-loved tales with truly universal appeal.
