The SCI FI Channel and MGM have decided to cancel Stargate Atlantis after its fifth season ends. The show will however continue on with a 2 hour movie that will air on the SCI FI channel in 2009 in the United States and with other global airing’s later on in the year.
The film will still be written by the shows executive producers Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mulliie. It is intended to be the first of an on-going series of movie releases for Atlantis, according to the report.
The Stargate franchise will still continue on however it has been reported by SCI FI, whether this will mean a continuation of Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis movie releases we still don’t know.
With the rumour mill turning that the cancellation of Atlantis has green lighted the release for the next Stargate run off series Stargate Universe, is still unknown. Keep tuned to the Atlantis Archive for all the latest Stargate news and information about the up and coming direct to release DVD movies, and the possible third spin off show.
I can’t believe how rude some of the responses were by fans of the show that you told them their would be a sixth season.
For the record the Atlantis Archive announced the news regarding season five back in august of last year far before any other site did. The official announcement was not made until 2 months later.
People have a short memory / are quick to leave negative comments, instead of saythink thankyou.

Here’s to I hope a season 6 and many more ,but if it is not to be I must commend the writers and all who made the show so enjoyable as it has been up to now,I do not know why a show so popular would be cancelled. I have always hoped it would run as long as it former running mate. I will wait for the announcement. And thanks to every one who has made me look forward to each new episode.
