With SyFy’s recent cancellation of Stargate: Universe, news has come out that this abrupt halt to the Stargate franchise has also affected production on other Stargate projects, namely the Stargate: Atlantis straight-to-DVD movie.

Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi confirmed this news in his blog:

“…the cancellation of SGU is very bad news for those looking forward to an Atlantis movie.”

“I’m sorry to say but the cancellation puts the brakes on whatever progress the ‘SGA’ movie had made in the past month, shelving it indefinitely.”

Any plans for a new Stargate series to follow SGU are also “off the table”:

“A new ‘Stargate‘ series isn’t even being considered. As for a totally new show — I can’t speak for [creators] Brad [Wright] and Robert [Cooper], but I’d certainly love to set up a new (non-‘Stargate’-related) show somewhere down the line. But given recent developments, I’m thinking that won’t be for quite a while.”

The remaining episodes of SGU’s second season are to air sometime this spring.

: trembling lip: The Stargate franchise cannot end like this! Many other Stargate fans who have grown with SG-1, SG-A and SGU over these many years may pose this singular question, “How can one imagine a world without Stargate?” I hope that this is a mere pause in the Stargate legacy and not a dead end.

The sci-fi television landscape would not be the same without a Stargate series on air. No Stargate would simply suck… like the icy vacuum of space.
