New syndication season starts September 23

Season Nine of Stargate SG-1 and Season Two of Stargate Atlantis begin across the U.S. in just one month. The new seasons will begin their syndication run the weekend of September 23 and 24, MGM announced last week.

New cast members Ben Browder (“Cameron Mitchell”) and Beau Bridges (“Hank Landry”) join the cast of SG-1 for Season Nine. Claudia Black (“Vala Mal Doran”) guest stars in the first six episodes of the season, pinch-hitting for series co-star Amanda Tapping during her maternity leave. Black returns for the final two episodes of the season (to air in syndication next spring) before becoming a regular cast member in Season Ten.

Stargate SG-1 will premiere with “Avalon, Part 1.”

Old friends depart and new ones arrive as Jason Momoa (“Ronon Dex”) joins the cast of Stargate Atlantis in the third episode of Season Two, “Runner.” Rainbow Sun Francks (“Aiden Ford”) departs the series, but will return in Season Two for guest appearances.

Stargate Atlantis will premiere with “The Siege, Part 3.”
