| SyFy Channel Cancels Stargate Universe |
The Syfy Channel's Craig Engler posted via Twitter that Stargate Universe is being canceled (first reported by Deadline.com). "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," Engler said. "The Stargate franchise" consisting of Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe "has aired on Syfy since 2002."
Stargate has been on the air continuously since 1997 when SG-1 debuted on Showtime. No future Stargate series is planned at this time. | |  |
