'Stargate' exec rules out fourth series

Stargate producer Joseph Mallozzi has ruled out the possibility of producing a fourth series in the franchise.

Writing on his official blog, he dismissed speculation that a new spinoff was being developed to replace the recently axed Stargate Universe.

"A new Stargate series isn't even being considered," he claimed. "There are no plans to create or move forward on a new series. We love the one we have now."

He added that the sets for SGU will remain standing while the possibility of a renewal is explored.

"All options are being considered at this point, but a third season would be ideal," he said. "We're investigating all possible avenues."

Mallozzi revealed confirmed that the show's cancellation had led to a Stargate Atlantis straight-to-DVD film being "indefinitely" shelved.
