SPACE announces March 8 return for SGU

Following on the heels of Syfy Channel’s announcement that it will begin airing the final 10 episodes of Stargate Universe on March 7 in the U.S., Canada’s SPACE announced today that it will also bring the series back the same week.

While Syfy is moving the show to Monday night (10 p.m. E/P), though, SPACE will (curiously) be moving the Destiny crew from Friday to Tuesday.  “Season 2.5” begins March 8 at 10 p.m. (E/P).

While the show has struggled on Tuesdays in the U.S., it has remained SPACE’s strongest performer.

The network also offered up a brief description of the plot for “Deliverance,” the eleventh episode of Season Two — which does include a spoiler.  Turn back now if you’d rather not see it …

The final 10 episodes pick up from December’s jarring cliffhanger, where the Destiny encountered two warring races and an ally thought dead returned. In the Season 2.5 premiere, “Deliverance,” the Destiny is now locked in a battle with a Drone Command Ship and surprised by the arrival of the aliens that abducted Rush and Chloe.

Get the full scoop on the rest of SGU‘s final season in GateWorld’s episode guide!  And keep your browser locked right here for that impending announcement about how the producers hope to wrap up the story, and what’s next for the Stargate franchise.

  • Man, I read that way too fast and thought Space had picked up SGU for an additional 10 episode season.

  • I do hope Space would consider picking up SGU. I know that it is a long shot but given that is has done well for them, they could use SGU to market some original programming for their network instead of relying on Siffee's cast offs.

  • @voniak289

    They were referring to the return of Telford in the mid-season finale, not the upcoming episode.

  • I really hope that JM convinces MGM to get at least 10 episode season to end the story. I bet Space would enter since they do get benefits, the sets are still up lets not waste time and give SGU a proper ending.

    As for us fans in the US lets watch those last 10 episodes live so we can help out with the effort to bring SGU back with good ratings lets be positive.

  • It's not up to JM. JM's sites have been set elsewhere. It's Brad Wright that is in charge of trying to keep SGU alive.

  • Got it thanks for the update...so fand out there watch live is the only way to comvince the execs that tha show has potential and can give Brad Wright more arguments to keep the show alive.
