Stargate Universe is the working title of a science fiction television series, part of the Stargate franchise.[1] Produced by MGM, the show is set to enter pre-production in March, 2007, entering production in the summer of 2007 with a projected premiere in early 2008.[2] It is anticipated that Stargate Universe will be filmed and produced in Vancouver, Canada, as with the preceding series.
According to show runner Robert C. Cooper, the "series maintains the spirit of Stargate, but opens up a whole new 'universe'."[2] It is currently being developed as "a completely separate, third entity" - as opposed to Stargate Atlantis, which was created as a spin-off from the first series Stargate SG-1.
It has been rumoured, and denied, that Michael Shanks, who plays Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1, has been offered the lead in the new series.[3]
Robert C. Cooper has affirmed that the new series has to do with the ninth chevron in the Stargate and will take place during the present time, and will not be in the distant future. It would be the first time that this topic is used in a series of the franchise. According to him, "It plays a major factor in the third series". He also stated that the series is expected to be released sometime during 2008. It is not yet in production, with the writing scheduled to start after the conclusion of the direct-to-DVD movies.[4]
