BBC One revealed late last month that its fantasy drama Atlantis would not be returning for a third series.
Fans were left disappointed - and show lead Jack Donnelly has told Digital Spy that he too is "gutted" about Jason's journey being left "up in the air".
Speaking to Jack to promote his spoof football documentary United We Fall, DS took the opportunity to ask him about Atlantis getting axed - read on for the actor's candid response.
Was ending Atlantis a collective decision, or were you simply told the show wouldn't be coming back?
"I was literally told 3 weeks ago that it was not coming back, 'cause I was contracted to 5 years, should it go on. I was about to go on holiday with my family.
"I don't know if there's a 'media line' I'm supposed to go with for this, but I'll be totally honest, I was gutted.

His days in Atlantis may be behind him, but you haven't seen the last of Jack Donnelly.
The young actor's next project sees him cast as cocky footballer Olly Hunter in the wholly improvised spoof documentary United We Fall - the tale of a Manchester United squad on the verge of matching the Class of '92's epic achievements, before it all goes so, so wrong.
To mark the DVD release of United We Fall, Digital Spy spoke to Donnelly about his lack of real football skill and tackling (geddit?) improvised comedy.
The first question I have to ask - are you a United supporter?
"Erm... no - I've got to be honest, I'm not a massive football fan! I used to support United because my Dad is a huge football fan and a huge United fan, so when I was 8 or 9 I used to watch the games with him.

From the director of Leon The Pig Farmer comes a new comedy, about a bunch of footballers. Here's the trailer for United We Fall...
Director Gary Sinyor came to prominence through his economic and impressive debut Leon The Pig Farmer. However, he's steadily built up an interesting body of work since then, including the really fun spoof period drama movie, Stiff Upper Lips.
He's got a new film coming out next month too, in the shape of United We Fall. This is a mockumentary about a group of upcoming footballers - clearly based on Manchester United's Class Of '92 - and a trailer for it has just landed. You can see that right here....
United We Fall is out in cinemas on October 17th.
