He and officials at franchise owner MGM have been discussing several options, he said, and he&#8217;s thankful for fan support.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean that SGU has been saved, as Wagner is quick to point out, but it is encouraging. &#8220;It simply means that the parties are looking into a lot of possibilities, but much work remains to be done before we can celebrate,&#8221; he warned.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stargate Universe<\/em> returns to Syfy with <a href=\"\/wiki\/Stargate_Universe:_Season_Two\" target=\"_blank\">Season Two<\/a>&#8216;s second half (10 episodes) in April 2011.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>ETA: Joseph Mallozzi&#8217;s comments about Brad Wright&#8217;s plan:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s hard to say no to a job because it\u2019s always great to be employed.  Especially if you know, like and respect the people you\u2019ll be working with, and love the material you\u2019ll be working on.  Which brings me to a conversation I had with Stargate Creator\/Showrunner\/Executive Producer\/Writer Brad Wright today.  Alas, no details to offer (yet!) but suffice it to say he\u2019s battling hard to ensure the franchise (that\u2019s SG-1, Atlantis, and SGU) lives on and that the season two finale of Universe, \u201cGauntlet\u201d, will not be the end. He\u2019s adopted a clever two-pronged approach that, if successful, will see our awesome crew back at work next year.  Nothing is guaranteed, but it\u2019s great to hear he\u2019s got a plan to make it happen.  And, for the sake of the many, many Stargate fans out there, I really hope he succeeds.&#8221; &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/josephmallozzi.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/24\/december-23-2010-learning-to-julienne-carrots\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joseph Mallozzi, December 23, 2010<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a brief interview with Stargate Universe co-creator Brad Wright, Chicago Now&#8217;s Show Patrol reporter Curt Wagner posted some encouraging news about the production office&#8217;s efforts to continue the SGU story following its non-renewal by Syfy. &#8220;We haven&#8217;t given up on finishing the story we started,&#8221; Wright wrote in a recent e-mail concerning the producers&#8217; &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/brad-wright-hasnt-given-up-on-stargate-universe\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Brad Wright Hasn&#8217;t Given Up on Stargate Universe&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,1,6,3,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-atlantis","category-news","category-press","category-sg-1","category-universe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11953"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11963,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11953\/revisions\/11963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
