‏@bbcpress #Merlin fans there's New Saturday night adventure with #Atlantis on @bbcone #BBCDrama

That's interesting as they did Atlantis as a docu-drama in 2011.

Atlantis, penned by Misfits and Merlin creator Howard Overman, has been billed as an "action-packed" series to begin in the Autumn.
It centres on the titular city - "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".
The series will begin shooting in Wales and Morocco in April.

Do they drown, by any chance?

As soon as I saw this I thought Jules Verne but after the reading the extra info I guess there going in a more historical direction.

What's the betting it'll end like this over the Christmas period in 2017?

hahaha, very clever. If they tie this show in with SGA, I could be in. Casting Bradley James would make it a sure bet.

I had similar thoughts until further details emerged. My immediate reaction was an image of a Nautilus in my mind!
