The show was renewed for a full, 20-episode season late in the fall. Viewers have only seen half of Season One so far, with the back ten set to air beginning April 2.
The producers of SGU promise that the second half of this season will deliver on the things fans are wanting most: aliens, space battles, and a deeper look at the men and women who populate the Destiny. (For much, much more on that, check out Joseph Mallozzi’s very interesting blog posts from late January.)
The season premiere, “Intervention,” promises to start off on the cliffhanger where the two-part season finale, “Incursion,” will leave off. But “Pathogen” — currently slotted fourth in the new season — will shoot first.
Two new staff writers join the production team for Season Two: Remi Aubuchon (Caprica, 24) and Linda McGibney (Homicide: Life on the Street) (story). Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi have also been promoted from consulting producers to executive producers.
Series co-creators Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, and executive producer Carl Binder also return.
Season Two is expected to premiere worldwide in the fall. Keep track of everything we know about next season in GateWorld’s episode guide!

Yay, season 17 of stargate!
But how come MGM is happy to spend money on more SGU but not on SG-1 and Atlantis movies?
(@jimmy007 I totaly agree with you) HEY MGM we want Stargate Atlantis MOVIE
Congrats to Paul and Joe on their promotions!
I also vote for another SG-1 or ATL movie. I've got money burning a hole in my pocket for those new DVDs. :-) Waddaya say?
Good for SGU, but there's going to be some people who read this and wish it said "SG-1 and Atlantis movies filming now underway".
Just saying.
Awesome.
@Jimmy007
MGM sees SGU as a safer long-term investment because it is an ongoing television show with new episodes being produced, while the movies would just be one shot deals. Let's just hope that MGM gets a new owner and doesn't go bankrupt.
I guess I'm with Jimmy007, the news just makes me want to see the SG1 and SGA movies underway.
Good, I much prefer SGU to "new" movies of the old series that will just be two hours of the same old stuff.
Great point about wasting money on SGU and not doing the SG-1 and SGA movies. Promotions? Right. Promoted for bringing the Stargate franchise down several notches. What a world.
Maybe they have heard the voice of the fanbase that have made the franchise over the years and now are going to at least attempt to make SGU seeem part of the franchise. I hope the new season is watchable and the new writers will actually write a story about some likeable characters. Or maybe this announcement is just a hype with nothing really being changed. I will give the show a second chance and hope for the best.
I think that this is a good move for then, with the addition of the writers and the promotion of Paul and Joe, this should make it so there is more of the Startgate that the fan base, most of the people here will relate with. Great news!
