Syfy has confirmed that there won’t be a third season for Stargate Universe. The science fiction series has been cancelled after two seasons and 40 episodes.
The first half of season two finished airing on November 30th. The second 10 episodes are expected to air in the Spring of 2011. Unless the cable channel comes up with a replacement, this will mark the first time since 2002 that a Stargate series hasn’t aired on Syfy (previously known as the Sci-Fi Channel).
Stargate Universe follows a diverse exploration team who is unable to return to Earth after evacuating to a Ancient spaceship that’s headed to a distant part of the universe. The cast includes Robert Carlyle, Louis Ferreira, Brian J. Smith, Elyse Levesque, David Blue, Alaina Huffman, Jamil Walker Smith, and Ming-Na.
Here’s the official statement from Syfy…
Syfy will end its original action-adventure series Stargate Universe when the show returns with the final 10 episodes of its second season in the Spring of 2011. The Stargate franchise — consisting of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe — has aired on Syfy since 2002.
Syfy has a slate of new sci-fi/fantasy scripted projects lined up for 2011 including the series premiere of Being Human on January 17, the recently green lit one-hour drama series Alphas and the much anticipated Battlestar Galactica prequel pilot movie, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. Warehouse 13, Eureka and Haven will also return with new seasons next year.
It’s unclear if the final 10 episodes of Stargate Universe will give closure to the series.
What do you think? Are you sorry that SGU is coming to an end? Do you think the ongoing storylines will be resolved?
This really sucks.. I love SGU… POOR ENDING.. bring it back .. PLEASE
We want SG-1 SGA SGU BACK@@!!
I love SGU!!! The way the series ended really upsets me, nothing like watching a whole series and then not knowing what happens. I like being human, alphas & lost girl do I’m not dissing them at all, BUT COME ON FINISH THE DAMN SERIES!!!
I have been watching all of the SG shows including SGU, my wife hated them all, but when she discovered SGU she loved it. Perhaps it wasn’t making enough money for the company, and it’s very understandable. However, you shouldn’t keep us hanging this way from the last episode. I believe I have a solution to this problem, and the company will make money in the process, make a movie of the ending of SGU for us, the fans. The movie should return them all home after destroing the threat of these drone mother ships from the final episodes, and… Read more »
Good idea
I do really hope the will make a please again for SGU!
I just love it!
i enjoyed sg-u as much as all other sg series.
hope it comes back for thrid season (over the air tv broadcast).
thank you.
bring back sgu is a GREAT SHOW
I enjoyed the SG-U series BETTTER than the SG Atlantis series and am shocked that it is cancelled. I also like the Being Human series, but have to agree that the UK version is great and I hate the U.S. version it truley does suck. Can’t get into it at all. Hope they can bring SG-U back, but the best way to get their attention is to stop watching and paying for the Scyfy channel. That usually does the trick.
[…] TV show dates: October 9, 2009 – May 9, 2011 Series status: Cancelled […]
I was a latecomer to SGU, only catching on to Foxtel Sci-Fi. I had been watching most of SG1, SGA and now SGU, I LOVE IT! I am caught up the the character & episodic story arc & will be so dissappointed in it does not continue, please don’t leave us hanging, after everyone is shot/injured except Eli. I think the problem with shows like this, is that some, even myself initially, get caught up in the “spin off” rift……was the same with Buffy & Angel, X-Files & The Lone Gunmen & Millenium. However, I think, given the right marketing.… Read more »
