After the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass around 125 GeV, the search for new bosons has become an important focus of the ATLAS experiment. The observation of new bosons would be a direct indication of physics beyond the Standard Model and would signify a major discovery. Of particular relevance here is the search for scalar and pseudo-scalar bosons, entailing a number of final states. The status of searches performed with the ATLAS experiment in this area will be reviewed.
