Stargate Universe will not be renewed for season 3!

Syfy has managed to cancel one of the best shows on TV and they have no one to blame but themselves. Sure MGM's bankruptcy woes didn't help but moving a show that had a history of success as a Friday night affair to a Tuesday night during the fall TV season was one of the worst moves in TV scheduling history

Syfy just announced that it won't renew Stargate Universe for a third season, putting an end (for now) to the long-running Stargatefranchise on the network. The upcoming 10 episodes of Stargate Universe's second season, which will air in the Spring, will be the series' last. When the network cancelled Atlantis it was to make room for SGU to come in and restore the series in a new way. SGU was always polarizing to fans of the long time sci-fi franchise due to its more mature themes, grittier character exploration and overall shift from the "winning" formula of the series past.

The Petition is to identify that the audience for Stargate Universe is out here and we are not happy that Stargate Universe is coming to a stop without finishing the story, aswell as ending the franchise altogether.

Please Sign the Petition to show your support!

Sanctuary cancelled after four seasons

May 22nd, 2012 - Remy561 [NL] | 0 Comments

Syfy does it again, they have cancelled the last series I followed on the network.
Here is the story as read on gateword.net:

Syfy Channel won’t bring back Sanctuary for a fifth season, the network confirmed today.

“We’re honored to have been part of this incredible series,” Mark Stern, Syfy’s President of Original Content, told The Hollywood Reporter. “In addition to garnering unmatched devotion by fans worldwide, Sanctuary was a bona fide trailblazer, setting new standards with its highly innovative production techniques — including pioneering green screen and RED camera technology — and Emmy-nominated visual effects.”

Sanctuary began in 2007 as a privately-funded, limited run Web series before being picked up by Syfy in 2008.

Season Four concluded in December and, with no immediate pick-up, the cast and crew have begun work on other projects. Executive producer and series star Amanda Tapping is currently directing for the new series Primeval: New World, which also has Sanctuary‘s Martin Wood on board as a series producer and director.

Series creator Damian Kindler is writing a Universal Soldier television pilot (story), and co-star Christopher Heyerdahl (“John Druitt,” “Bigfoot”) has booked a recurring role on HBO’s True Blood, starting next month (story).

“To all the fans of @SanctuarySeries we love and adore you,” Tapping wrote on Twitter today. “Thank you for the love and support. Now to the long dark tea time of my soul.”

Tapping and Wood recently spoke candidly with GateWorld about the show’s uncertain renewal prospects, as well as their frustration over being moved to Monday nights last year. After a ratings free-fall of more than 40 percent, Syfy moved the show back to the post-wrestling time slot for what would be its final season. Season Four averaged 1.26 million viewers over 13 episodes last fall.

Sanctuary‘s place on the fall schedule will be filled by the third season of Haven, bumped back from its usual place on the summer schedule. Syfy has a number of scripted dramas in development, including Defiance and Rewind.
