Inspired by Greek mythology, the British fantasy-adventure series Atlantis features such well-known characters as Hercules, Pythagoras and Medusa. The show debuted in the fall and was quickly renewed for a second season on BBC One and BBC America, with BBC Worldwide handling international sales.

Atlantis is created and executive produced by Johnny Capps, Julian Murphy and Howard Overman, all of which have a track record of successful British shows to their credit. Capps and Murphy, for example, were co-creators of the hit medieval fantasy-drama Merlin. The pair spoke with World Screen about reimagining the story of Atlantis and how they went about creating the lavish setting where the stories play out.
