FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Los Angeles, CA – Explore the limits of an uncharted galaxy when “Stargate: Atlantis” Season Four plunges onto DVD July 8, 2008 from MGM Home Entertainment. Created from the legacy of “Stargate SG-1″, the longest-running, scripted, made-for television science fiction series in U.S. broadcasting history, “Stargate: Atlantis” recently received the 2008 People’s Choice Award for Best Sci-Fi Television Series. In Season Four, SG-1’s Award-Winning star Amanda Tapping crosses over as the new leader, joining the Atlantis cast as television’s favorite astrophysicist Commander Samantha Carter, along with the return of Jewel Staite (“Firefly,” “Serenity”) reprising her role of Dr. Keller, a physician who joins the Atlantis expedition.

The fourth season also continues to deliver out-of-this world excitement and amazing adventures with exceptional visuals chronicling the voyage of the Atlantis team in the Pegasus galaxy. “Stargate: Atlantis” Season Four boasts a talented ensemble cast including Joe Flanigan (The Other Sister), Rachel Luttrell (Imposter), David Hewlett (“The Triangle”), Jason Momoa (“Baywatch: Hawaii”), Mitch Pileggi (“The X-Files”), and is executive produced by Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie. Closely timed to the release of the highly anticipated new feature length DVD and Blu-Ray premiere of Stargate Continuum, “Stargate: Atlantis” Season Four includes 20 thrilling episodes on five discs and features cast and crew commentaries, deleted scenes, photo galleries, the first “Atlantis” blooper reel and more.
