Gateworld are saying that they are intending to keep making SG1 tv movies, for as long as people are interested. Click For the new series, I wouldn't be surprised if they set it on board one of their ships.

I read somewhere that they wanted to have Daniel as the main character in the new series. I think if SG-1 isn't going to continue then i don't think Daniel would work so well without them, it would spoil the end of SG-1, even if they are doing movies. I guess we'll have to wait a while before we find out about a thirds series, i look forward to it as long as that doesn't mean cutting Atlantis short.

Third Stargate Show Developing?

Robert C. Cooper, executive producer of SCI FI Channel's Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that he's developing a third series with a working title Stargate Universe, but remained mum on details. (The project has not yet been picked up by any network, including SCI FI Channel.)

"It's being developed," Cooper said in an interview on the Vancouver, Canada, set of the two series. "Not a lot to say at the moment, other than it's ... not the characters from SG-1 or Atlantis. It's a completely third entity. The third series is born of the mythology that's been established."

SG-1 will draw to a close after 10 seasons with the episode titled "Unending," airing June 22. Atlantis, is currently finishing up its third season and will return with a fourth season later this year.

Cooper added that the proposed third series will take place in the present day. "One thing that we think contributes to the success of [all of] the series and the concept behind the series is that it takes place in the here and now. ... It's about us and our age of people dealing with fantastic things, like Stargates and wormholes and aliens. And then there's an identifiable quality to the people in the show. It's not like an antiseptic version of humanity sometime 500 years in the future. [SG-1's] Jack O'Neill [Richard Dean Anderson] was a guy who everybody could relate to, and his reactions to the more fantastic elements of the series were the reactions the average Joe on the street might have."

SG-1 and Atlantis executive producer Paul Mullie added: "It's all top secret."

Either that, added fellow executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, or "it just hasn't been written yet. I'm not sure which."

Yay, it's another season on Stargate Infinity

I'm more surprised that the US still hasn't seen the finale

Atlantis appears to be coming apart at the seams with all the cast changes. They should have cancelled Atlantis and kept SG1 IMO.

Not unless they start shipping them across.....

And probably the one member of the SG1 cast that I really have seen enough of after 10 years as well

I can see what you mean, I'm not too happy with Carter moving over either plus the fact that Mckay really has the whole techie area covered although there could be some nice tension between the two.

Really Daniel Jackson should come over, the main character from the film and really in my view the protangonist of the SG-1 series (even though Jack may get more lines, screen time etc.) most of the plot arcs have involved Daniel Jackson specifically. Also he is different than Sam and McKay, he has a moral certainty and translation skills something which is lacking on Atlantis somewhat.

Saying that I still haven't seen series 9 and 10 so I can't comment on whether bringing Vala or Mitchell over would be anygood although Sheppard really has the whole supersoldier thing tied down so Mitchell probably wouldn't be suitable.

Vala, to me, has always been superfluous without Jackson. Teal'c, is similar to Ronon, and for all intents and purposes, you're right, Carter simply serves the same purpose as McKay. I know they've changed her role for Atlantis, but still, at the expense of one of your established leading characters? Not happy with these changes I have to say. Sounds like they're just trying to boost Atlantis' numbers the old fashioned, and sloppy way.

Exactly! Atlantis seriously struggled last season with the exception of a couple of good eps, I just can't see it going beyond a 4th

Bringing Carter over is just trying to get those who didn't watch Atlantis, but watched SG-1 to move to Atlantis. Why should Carter get to run Atlantis, Weir wasn't doing that bad a job. S4 definately won't be as good without two of the original cast, and will probably end up being the last season, which i don't really want to see, because when it started Atlantis was good enough to get at least 5 seasons and now they've gone and ruined it.

Stargate Universe Coming

SCI FI Channel is set to announce the pickup of Stargate Universe, the third series in the long-running franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

News of Universe comes on the heels of SCI FI's announcement that the current Stargate Atlantis will not receive a sixth-season order, the trade paper reported. Atlantis will live on in a two-hour telefilm to air on SCI FI in 2009.

Universe will premiere as a two-hour movie early next year and will assume a regular hourly slot in the summer. Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, co-creators of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, will serve as executive producers and writers on the new series.

The new show will involve more space-based action than either of the predecessor series, the trade paper reported.

Universe introduces a new team of explorers who find an ancient unmanned ship called the Destiny. Unable to return to Earth, the crew must fend for themselves aboard the ship, which has a pre-programmed mission taking them to the far reaches of the universe.

Appearances by former cast members from SG-1 and Atlantis are very possible.

I thought that, then I thought "no. nothing like it. it has a pre-programmed destination. nothing like voyager at all. nope. nothing like it at all. totally different".

That's what I thought.

Deluded, huh?

Robert Carlyle has been tapped as the lead in SCI FI Channel's new series Stargate Universe, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Universe is the third installment in the Stargate franchise, from Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis co-creators Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, who will write and executive-produce the new series.

SCI FI Channel is expected to give the MGM TV-produced Universe a 20-episode order.

Production on the series is slated to begin in February in Vancouver, Canada. It is targeted to launch in the summer with a two-hour premiere.

Described as edgier, darker and younger-skewing than its predecessors, Universe follows a group of soldiers, scientists and civilians left to fend for themselves when forced through a Stargate after their hidden base comes under attack. The survivors, who emerge aboard an ancient ship missing in the far reaches of space, are led by Dr. David Rush (Carlyle), who works to unlock the ship's mysteries and return the group home, but who also might have ulterior motives.
