From Yahoo:
The article goes on to describe the concepts for the new shows. One is called 'Stargate High', and it basically sounds like the Stargate equivalent of 'Smallville' with teenagers ("future heroes", of course) in training for the Stargate program on another planet (get this: Dr. Lee will be one of the teachers!), with lots of angst and drama mixed in, no doubt (BW describes it as 'Dawsons Creek' in space). The other series is appearantly a spin-off of Ben Browders character, set in the future with another actor playing him as an older man, an SGC veteran. No title or story concept given yet (Stargate Infinity, anyone?). Article ends with RCC gushing over how this will be a "more modern, more youthful Stargate" for a younger audience.

'Gaters' - that's Stargate fans to the rest of us - will be pleased to know that when Stargate SG-1 and its sister series, Stargate Atlantis, return from their annual mid-season break in February next year, they will not be alone. To accompany the two hit series comes not one, but two new spin-offs.
"Last year, there was just one 'Stargate' series on TV," says co-creator and 'SG-1' showrunner Robert C. Cooper. "By this time next year, we will have four shows airing concurrrently to worry about." Next to him sits his 'Atlantis' counterpart, Brad Wright. "Our goal is to eventually beat 'Law & Order' in the number of spin-offs," he jokes.
The SciFi cable network has ordered 4 episodes of each new show, to air alongside the two already established Stargate series, and plan to develop them into full series the following seasons - should they be successful. "We have great faith in these projects," says SciFi spokesman Michael Robertson, "the Stargate franchise has proven successful so far and has yet to reach its full potential."
