Less than two months after Caprica got the ax from Syfy, Stargate Universe (SGU) has joined its compatriot on the cancellation block.
“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.”
Sadly, SGU was actually one of the better sci-fi shows on Syfy. It looks like the network is moving towards more mass-market generic shows as befits its NBC home.
