Syfy channel has granted another season of their surprise hit Stargate Universe, along with a third season of Sanctuary.
The mid-season finale to Stargate Universe just aired with its hiatus ending in April of 2010. Season two of the series will debut in the fall as well as the next season of Sanctuary.
Each series has received a 20-episode order and production has already begun in Vancouver. Stargate Universe averaged 2.6 million viewers in the fall when combined with seven-day DVR data. Sanctuary scored with 2.2 million viewers.
The debut of Stargate Universe could not have come at a better time with the end of the network’s flagship show Battlestar Galactica ending it’s run. Stargate: Atlantis was also canceled yet producers aren’t worried that a similar fate could happen to Stargate Universe. Though Universe is “more realistic” and more optimistic than Battlestar Galactica, because it was different from previous Stargate shows and movies, some audiences have felt somewhat alienated.
