Stargate Universe, the third continuation of the 1994 film, will most likely feature stars of the two previous series in guest appearances, says the SciFi Channel.
Former actors such as Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping and Michael Shanks will reprise their Stargate SG-1 roles, with the move being widely regarded as a way to have the new series accepted by veteran fans.
Stargate Universe will differ from the previous two series, SG-1 and Atlantis, in that it will be primarily based in space, and on the interactions between characters on a single ship.
Additionally, the new series will not be a spinoff of SG-1, as Atlantis was. Rather, it will feature a new story that will only refer to pre-established canon, rather than relying on it.
Stargate producers Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper have described Universe as being “a completely seperate, third entity” and “darker” than the previous shows.
Stargate Atlantis began filming in February, and is due to air in October.
