Flanigan to guest on Warehouse 13

Stargate Atlantis‘s Joe Flanigan is set to make a guest appearance on Warehouse 13, the SCI FI Channel’s new paranormal-themed series, Pop Culture Zoo reports. The drama will premiere in July on the U.S. cable network.

SCI FI later confirmed the news with an official press release.

Warehouse 13 “follows two Secret Service agents who find themselves abruptly transferred to a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government,” SCI FI said. “The Warehouse’s caretaker Artie (Rubinek) charges Pete (McClintock) and Myka (Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the warehouse itself.”

The show stars Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Allison Scagliotti and Saul Rubinek — who played filmmaker Emmett Bregman in the memorable Stargate SG-1 2-parter “Heroes.”

Flanigan will play Jeff Weaver, a handsome and wealthy man “whose charm captures Myka’s interest, but he finds himself under Pete and Myka’s scrutiny when a sculpture on which he bid, vanishes in an impossible heist.”

The new series will also feature guest stars from other popular network shows, including Tricia Helfer, Michael Hogan and Mark Sheppard (Battlestar Galactica) and Erica Cerra, Nial Matter and Joe Morton (Eureka).

Check out the original report at Pop Culture Zoo, and watch a trailer for Warehouse 13 at SciFi.com. The show premieres Tuesday, July 7 with a 2-hour pilot.
