Syfy Cancels 'Stargate Universe'

By NELLIE ANDREEVA
Thursday December 16, 2010

After weeks of speculation, Syfy just announced that it won't renew Stargate Universe for a third season, putting an end (for now) to the long-running Stargate franchise on the network. The upcoming 10 episodes of Stargate Universe's second season, which will air in the Spring, will be the series' last...

Here it is. Merry Christmas, folks. I'm done with SyFy.

I hope this is bad reporting. I'll wait til the 2nd or 3rd report before I panic. Site is obviously legit though.

Twitter updates from Craig Engler at Syfy:

Announcement today: 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 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 prequel pilot movie, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome. Warehouse 13, Eureka & Haven will also return w/new seasons next year

Well shes reporting that "Syfy announced" so she'd have to have got it very wrong for this not to be true.

I think you've just reached the first stage of grief; Denial.

[ThePlut]

Well that's great. Now I can remove SyFy from my list of channels to watch altogether!

So angry...

Honestly I feel the same. Syfy knew full well how hard it would be for even their best shows to go up against the primetime networks in the most competitive day's slot, but they threw Caprica and SGU at it anyway. And they're surprised viewership fell? Even as the critics were coming around and applauding the new season?
