SCI FI Channel has renewed its hit original series Stargate Atlantis for an all-new 20-episode fifth season. One of television's most action-packed adventure hours, Atlantis' success continues the legacy of one of television's most successful franchises.

The show's sister series, Stargate SG-1, ran for a record-breaking 10 consecutive seasons unprecedented for any sci-fi series.

Produced and distributed by MGM Television, Stargate Atlantis is set to resume production in early 2008.
