Stargate Universe co-creator Robert C. Cooper has revealed that he knows how the Syfy drama will end.
He told Collider that he has a plan for how the show might eventually conclude, but admitted that he is still uncertain what will happen in future episodes.
“[I know] why the Ancients sent the ship out there and where we could end the series [in the future],” he said. “[But] do I know what episode 3 of season 3 is? No.”
Cooper explained that he is keen to avoid long-term plans in order to allow the show to develop and change.
“I think that [our] philosophy has been to create a world. You build a world and you build characters that exist in that world,” he said. “We know where we’re going to a certain extent, but we also want to respond to what that world and those characters are telling us. Why would you turn away from a wonderful opportunity that is [presenting itself]?”
The second season of Stargate Universe begins on September 28 on the Syfy network.

Stargate Universe star Brian J. Smith has revealed that there are some exciting developments in store for his character Matthew Scott in the second season.
The actor told GateWorld that he is excited by the path his character is taking.
He said: “[Where] they’re taking him in the second season is really, really exciting, because there’s some qualities that are coming out in him that I really, really like and I’m glad to see explored.
“Scott is an emotional leader. I think his leadership style is much more emotional, so he’s much more bound to be loyal. He may also be more impulsive in a way, tend to get a little more hot-headed. But he’s learning.”
Smith also expressed his hopes that the Scott character would begin having a stronger impact on the programme’s storylines.
“[It's] going to be interesting to see if Scott gets to a place where decisions that he makes start to affect storylines, and if he’s able to change the course of an episode or how things turn out. That’ll be exciting to see.”
Executive producers Brad Wright and Rob Cooper previously revealed that the second season of the show would be “very dark”.
