Atlantis: series cancelled, TV movie confirmed
Season 5 will be the last for Stargate Atlantis. The spin-off series, started in July 2004 and ran similtanously with Stargate SG-1 for three great years. The last two years (one and a half actually) were even better.
After the conclusion of season 5 in January there will be a television movie (on Sci Fi).
"We're excited to tell Atlantis stories on a bigger canvas," series creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper said. "The successes of the two original Stargate DTV movies The Ark of Truth and Continuum have shown us the opportunities that the movie format offers. We have plans for both SG-1 and Atlantis to remain vital as we expand the franchise."
