Stargate Universe
The Only Mission Is Survival
Created by Robert C. Cooper, Brad Wright
On Syfy
A stranded-crew survival drama that pairs high-stakes isolation with interpersonal tension, grounded in hard sci-fi concepts but cut short before resolution.
The adventures of a present-day, multinational exploration team traveling on the Ancient spaceship Destiny many billions of light years distant from the Milky Way Galaxy. They evacuated there and are now trying to figure out a way to return to Earth, while simultaneously trying to explore and to survive in their unknown area of the universe.
