Sanctuary Cancelled

Syfy confirmed it will not be bringing action series Sanctuary back for a fifth season.

The move was not a surprise, in that the show, starring Amanda Tapping (pictured, as her character, Helen Magnus) and executive produced by her, Damian Kindler and Martin Wood, was not part of the network's recently announced upfront slate for 2012-13. Tapping recently told the blog Gateworld that the producers had released the show's studio space in Vancouver because of the delay in ordering a new season, and that the show would not have been ready to return this fall even if Syfy had renewed it.

In a statement, Mark Stern, President, Syfy Original Content and Co-Head, Universal Cable Productions, said: "We're honored to have been part of this incredible series. In addition to garnering unmatched devotion by fans worldwide, Sanctuary was a bona fide trailblazer, setting new standards with its highly innovative production techniques -- including pioneering green screen and RED camera technology -- and Emmy-nominated visual effects. It's been an amazing ride and we look forward to our next project with Amanda Tapping, Martin Wood and Damian Kindler."

In the statement, Kindler, Tapping and Wood said: "We couldn't be prouder of the four seasons we made on Sanctuary. We are very grateful for the opportunity and must acknowledge the wonderful work from our cast and crew, the support from our studio, the Beedie Group -- who have been with us right from the start, the networks who worked so hard with us each week, and most of all the fans...we owe so much to the fans.

Syfy is a worthless network. Not that I care for Sanctuary or any other shows on the network, but this network cancels any worth while shows, and instead puts out WWE garbage.

Don't really care for this but syfy has killed off every good show they ever had, namely Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis).

[Allan]

Not only does SyFy kill off shows, they refuse to license them to Space in Canada, which means, for me to watch shows like Warehouse 13, Sanctuary, etc etc I have had to resort to a Bay full of Ye Ol' Pirates, argh!!!

after the first season the show was just horrible. i am glad they cancelled it... perhaps now that they are killing off all the science fiction and getting more Reality television they can just change their name and stop pretending.

It's a mercy killing now. Syfy ruined yet another promising show. Sigh.

[fix-this!]

i saw this coming as this show sucked but it wasn't the worst on the network. i was hoping lost girl and monster man get the axe. one show i do enjoy is being human and im waiting to see if they cancel that as well?

Guys hate to say this but the reason why they yank these shows is because of ratings because no one is watching them. Then when they do get yank you all complain.I am not saying no one is watching them i am just syaing it not good enough ratings for them to keep the show on because no one is really watching them.These days people are outside at bars and sports and out with friends or etc they dont sit home and watch shows like they used to back in the old days. Plus alot of people see these shows on the net and that hurts the show ratings.I hope to see Amanada Tapping do another show and hope it on Showtime or HBO where they dont yank the show like syfy does.

Bingo you said it perfectly. If there was more sex in sci fi im sure it would get higher ratings.Shame that these shows are expensive to make and the whole point of a tv show is for advertisers to PAY for the time which is why they need high ratings. I still dont like that they have wrestling on scify but i guess it bringing in the ratings.
