Syfy Cancels 'Stargate Universe'

Syfy has decided not to renew Stargate Universe for a third season.

The cable network will air the last 10 episodes of Season 2 of the action-adventure series, the third in the Stargate franchise, in the spring of next year.

Stargate Universe stars Robert Carlyle, David Blue and Ming-Na.

There has been at least one Stargate series, including Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, on Syfy since 2002.

The news follows the network's decision to axe Battlestar Galactica prequel Caprica. Both Caprica and Stargate Universe had performed modestly in the ratings.

Syfy has an upcoming series to fill the hole, the U.S. version of Being Human, along with returning favorites Haven, Eureka and Warehouse 13.
