Syfy UK Sets Premiere Date For ‘Stargate Atlantis’
Syfy UK's latest acquisition Stargate Atlantis will premiere on Monday July 1st at 8pm and will then continue to air on weekdays in the same time-slot. In the opening episode of the show's first season, titled Rising - Part 1, a new Stargate team embarks on a dangerous mission to a distant galaxy, where they discover a mythical lost city -- and a deadly new enemy. Robert Patrick (The X-Files) guest stars. 
Stargate Atlantis is returning to UK TV screens. Syfy UK has acquired the second TV series in the Stargate franchise, which originally aired for five seasons on Syfy state-side between 2004 and 2009. MGM Worldwide Television Distribution handles international distribution. Stargate Atlantis is planned as a key-part of Syfy UK's summer schedule alongside the second season of Stargate co-creator Dean Devlin's fantasy series The Outpost, and the final season of Syfy's bounty hunter space drama Killjoys.
