Description: Olympus is a mythological drama series which will take viewers into the action-packed world of humans, Gods and monsters over the course of 13 episodes.
Olympus tells the story of how a few brave men and women banished the Gods to the realm of the unconscious – a place they called the Underworld or the Kingdom of Hades. The series follows the protagonist as he seeks the truth about his past, which may be intertwined with the Gods themselves. Syfy.com
Status: (Updated 2/26/16) At this point, I am going to assume this show has been cancelled. It has been almost a year since its first season started airing and we have yet to hear any word on a second season. It barely registered in the ratings for Syfy, so I have a hard time believing that network wants this one back with all the other development they currently have in the pipeline. Perhaps the Canadian Super Channel (Syfy’s international partner on this venture) will elect to keep it going on their own or with a different partner because this is probably not an expensive series to produce. But until I hear different, I am going to assume this one is done. If anybody has inside news on this show, please pass it along in the comments below.

Update 7/7/15: This one wrapped up its first season averaging just a 0.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic based on the overnights. If it is relying on its Syfy ratings, then I believe its chances of a second season are very slim. But if its international partnerships/financing are strong enough, then maybe it still has a chance.

I’m in UK. I first this first several years ago. Possibly when it was first on tv. I have re watched it again several times. It’s an great show. I get sad every time it ends. It was so annoying it finished on a cliff hanger ending. The least they could have done was have oracle & hero get back to safety. I really wish there was a season 2. I’d definitely watch if they brought it back. It is so annoying that US ratings alone judge a show. It had good actors, and a good mix of mythology, fantasy, drama, action, mystery & intrigue. It cannot have been that expensive to make so it’s such a shame it was cancelled. Please please please bring it back.
Criminal to end it with a cliffhanger like that. I’ll be praying to the gods for season 2.
This is in 2019 4 years and still haven’t heard season 2!? I love the movie so much and make me jealous
I’m from South Africa and I watch alot of not so “normal” shows, love fantasy & supernatural shows.
But what I wanna know is, in this day & age why do American ratings matter when you’re catering entertainment for the world?
Shows like Constantine, The Messengers, The Exorcist, Terra Nova and many more are loved worldwide but are cancelled because of US ratings??? Because of this insane philosophy, movies like Warcraft will never get a sequel because the seats in the US weren’t filled, yet the tripled profit worldwide is ignored??
Please explain???
Someone please do the right thing and give us Olympus Season 2!!!
Most of the shows mentioned above are U.S. broadcast network entries and those nets look for the short-term gain which is largely driven by the overnight ratings which set advertising prices. The Messengers was a CW entry which is a network that is not as ratings focused, but that show got pushed out of an overcrowded schedule. Olympus aired on Syfy in the U.S., and that network is highly ratings focused as well and it did not give much promotion to the series. The overnight ratings are becoming less of a factor, especially for the cable networks (i.e., shows not on ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC). And international viewership is becoming more of a factor, but that plays more into the long-term revenue for a show. Things are definitely changing with the television landscape here in the states, but still expect shows to get cancelled due to low ratings for the next few years at least.
I just found this series on Amazon and watched all of season 1 in two days! Loved it!! Please bring it back
Hello there everyone, i strongly bileve that this show was trolled on the internet by those who either do not get the plot, or do not like it as they were hoping for something different, if you was to slightly dim down on green screen like sparticus or stargate franchise this show could be better, one more thing i must add is that these so called Greek soldiers is weres the decant 1 on 1s gone with short sword and spear like[ Bradd pits ] Achilles in the film troy, this programme needs financil backing i recomend the show be reinstated
WHAT??? This show was fairly well executed. The story line was great. I thought most of the actors did a good job, not making it too hammy. Excellent choice for greek mythology. Where is season 2?? Netflix pick it up!!!!!!
Please do another season only just found this and love it hate to see it’s been cancelled. Please don’t leave us with a an unfinished storyline. Bring us season 2
Really would love to see season 2 of this…loved the show. Never knew about it found it on amazon watched the whole thing in 2 days…first day was in and out of home 2 day I called in sick to stay home and watch it…lol…couldn’t help myself. Please please bring it back so sad to see no season 2
Hey I just started watching this show on Amazon firestick!!
it’s upsetting to read that it’s been cancelled?
What could anyone do to bring it back?
Please bring it back!!! I just saw the show and I feel I have been condemned by not having another season!!! The cliffhanger is going to keep me on the edge and when I fall I will get back to the edge and for eternity be at the mercy of hades!!!
This is terrible!!! lol What’s going to happen to us watchers of the show…
I just saw the series. I agree with the rest of them. It’s got a good story line. It needs to at least come to an end or some type of finish.
I was very disappointed to hear of a cancellation of this show. Because it’s one of the best shows I ever watched. It’s brilliant cast and incredible story along with stunning visual effects. It kept me very entertained. I’d wish the series would continue. Please bring it back.
I wish I didn’t start the show until I read this. Now it’s been left on a cliffhanger and I’ll never know what happens.
I’m the only one who enjoyed the cgi it seems. The reason is that it created a dreamlike and video game like quality which helped me enter into a world of myth with familiar and unfamiliar characters of antiquity. At this stage getting the original cast back together might not be easy. Maybe Olympus is the new firefly.
I think it’s a awesome show that has much more to offer if given the chance. I’m hoping that it comes back I’m sure if it does it will definitely rival other shows like it , I loved xena and Hercules and I think it’s much like them and with the right management it could have the same popularity that they had.
The CG was bad but the acting was great. It had a modern Shakespeare feel to it. The way the characters grow and fall is spot on. I loved this show. It ended perfectly all I ask is to remaster the cg lol it was bad. We don’t need endless seasons of great series becoming good and ok to bearable over time.
HOWWWWW DID OLYMPUS NOT GET A SEASON 2 YET LEGEND OF THE SEEKER HAD 2 SEASONS & IT WAS CRIPE. CGI was awful but such a brilliant story – normally its so easy to predict what will happen in shows but Olympus well and truly kept its viewers guessing. Legit Syfy should invest in promoting a series, August 2017 & i’ve only just watched it. MAKE MOREEEEE PLEASEEEE
I wAtched season 1, in it’s entirety, in one day, from a two disk rental at the library.
Not shown in Neflix as of today.
I hope season 2 has been made and will be available.
Very interesting plot, characters and special effects.
Watched the series in full. Like any first season its a little shaky at the beginning but midway to end was quite good. the actors had found their characters. The way it ended could easily go into a second season, a series of movies or left as is. I hope they work from it as it has a lot of potential.
So Netflix just picked up season 1. Hopefully this sparkes enough interest for a season 2, even if it’s only on netflix.
Just because not many people know of it, it didnt stand out enough for people to watch to reconigse its brilliance and now it is left as a cliffhanger, this show would have been an asset but target audience no longer relies on provocative thought, a shame really
I love the show please make season 2
I too happened upon this series on Amazon.And I was at the edge of my seat until the very last second of episode 13. What a wonderful way to play my imagination into reality. To know love and hatred make u so alive. Betrayal ,loyalty and treachery so divine. How seductive this TV series made me want to feel love like no other. The times of God and Goddesses truly are intriguing. Please return your adoring fans with a Season 2.
lol I loved this show gutted that there will probably not be a season 2 probably because they failed to create enough “gay scenes” like game of thrones…. is this what tv has come to now?
Very good assumption
It failed to take off because it talked about mythology but showed nothing of it. People are caught by the first episode thinking it’s going to be good when they see the cyclops but then there’s nothing else. The dialogues and storyline are very good and keep you hooked but it just gets boring sometimes: I felt there was no real climax and some decisions made no sense (as in the last episode — do they love or hate each other?)
just found this show by chance on amazon…..watched it through like a binger. Very disappointed to find out there is n ot a season two……..COME ON PLEASE…
Wow, I literally could not put this series down until I finished. I started it late on Tuesday and watched in all night. The next day I couldn’t sleep until I finished the last 5 episodes. It’s a terrible shame there isn’t a second season.
I would love to see more, but I fully realize that shows like this are a special interest. Still, I thought it was wonderful!
Just as I enjoyed Atlantis on bbc. I enjoyed Olympus as much. Sad to see yet again a sort life to a decent tv program.
This is a fair to good offering that, with time, can only get better. Definitely worth another series.
i feel like im a freak or something, so many shows i love are getting cancelled with 1st to 3rd season ( 97% 1season) from so many networks, yet they will keep shows on that have so run its course. its so sad
I loved the show!! Please bring back a new season! I’ve been checking to see when a new season will aire! What would it take to get a season 2 started? Is Netflix plays counted towards views? I just happened upon this show and kept watching it!
I loved it. It actually had meaningful characters, philosophy. But the final episode was classic sci-fi. Reminded me of Jason, King Kong and other classics. Bring it back.
I agree with Jare Castillo! I just finished the first season and I am hoping for a second season soon. The show brings a whole new perspective into light. The plot’s twists and turns are riveting. Such a great show!
I just learned of the show. I purchased the first season DVD and watched the whole season in one day! I love it! You just need to advertise it more and give it a chance. Please!
I as well just learned of it and just watched all season 1 in two days…loved it please bring on season w
Please keep the show on, it does have a very good storyline, besides the bad CGI, there are so many depts to this series I would love see explored, so thank you for herring me out!
When I heard it was in trouble I quickly went on here to promote it to Save it cause I love this show!
If you have a campaign going to help the show, feel free to include the information in the comments.
My friends and I love this show please keep it on And Need More Gay Scenes Too
Go watch poen then
