If you are writing this down in your day planner, be sure to use pencil. The SCI FI Channel may be looking at Friday, October 2 as the premiere date for Stargate Universe in the United States.
Sanctuary actress and executive producer Amanda Tapping told Pop Culture Zoo this week that the network wants to pair the second season of that show with Universe on Friday nights. “SCI FI wants us to air October 9th,” she told the site. “We will run concurrently with Stargate Universe. I think they premiere with a two-hour episode and then the following week we will run together.”
That would put “Air” Parts 1 and 2 as the premiere event on October 2, and “Air, Part 3” on October 9.
The timing jives with SCI FI’s program scheduling from years past. The cable network has traditionally run its summer programs through the third or fourth week of September, and kicked off its new fall shows on either the last Friday of September or the first of October.
Sanctuary had its two-hour series premiere on October 3 last year, and then aired alongside Stargate Atlantis starting October 10.
Of course, with eight months to go before the premiere of Stargate Universe, plans can certainly change. Filming on the show begins February 11.
Head to Pop Culture Zoo for more on Sanctuary and Stargate from Amanda Tapping, and stick with GateWorld for the latest on Stargate Universe as the show heads into full production!

While this is good to know, it’s old news. =
Thank you! October here we come! :)
It’s to give them a month to get adjusted to their new school :D
I’m going to be watching with everyone else, it’s just such a fun joke!
I watched 200 the other day, and glad I found a YouTube clip of the segment that applies. Enjoy!

OMG!!! who’s gonna wait until October??!!

I hope season premiere becomes avaiable to download in Torrent soon.
Waiting until October would suck.
So October 2 it is. I also hope it comes available to download. Goodluck Universe.
Oh, for crying out loud! I have to wait for OCTOBER to find out what happens in Sanctuary? Sorry to sound rude, but right now I could care less about SGU.
So much for that summer movie premiere followed by the series in fall, I guess.
Stargate is Stargate. I’m not boycotting it in any form. Sure, I’m ticked about Atlantis being canceled but that doesn’t mean you won’t find me sitting going back and forth between jumping up and down and sitting on the edge of my seat come October 2nd.
GOOD TO KNOW, NOW I KNOW I WON’T BE WATCHING SCIFI THAT NIGHT FOR SURE.
I AM WITH chucknician I WILL BE BOYCOTTING SGU!
A true SGA fan would since our show was sacraficed for this show and I don’t let people tell me that just cause it is Stargate you have to watch.
One stargate show is not the same as the next so don’t let them fool you caladria.
I for one didn’t care for SG-1 only Atlantis.
