BBC byter ut Merlin mot Atlantis

En lite äldre nyhet, men passande för oss svenskar då vi är halvvägs genom den alla sista säsongen av "Merlin" (lördagar runt 18:15) då "Atlantis" kommer att rikta sig till alla samma målgrupp som "Merlin" gjorde.

The 13-part series will begin shooting in Wales and Morocco in April, while BBC controller of drama Ben Stephenson confirmed that it will air on BBC One in Merlin's Saturday night slot this autumn. 

The series synopsis states: "The city of Atlantis is a mysterious, ancient place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants. 

"It's into this strange, compelling realm that the young Jason arrives and an amazing adventure begins, bringing to life the vast store of Greek myths and legends re-imagined for a new generation." 

Och detta bådar gott:

The BBC has announced a number of new commissions including a series from Misfits creator Howard Overman called Atlantis.
