There are some new updates on Stargate Universe, the TV series that will debut in the summer of 2009, replacing SG Atlantis, which is at its final season.

In Stargate Universe, the action revolves around an explorer team from Earth, who find and board an Ancient ship called Destiny, but are unable to return to Earth. Their adventures will take place aboard this ship and across the Universe.

Joseph Mallozi, producer and writer for the show, keeps the fans updated on his own blog. So far we’ve learned that the series opener will probably have three parts (episodes).

"Brad and Rob did a terrific job of kicking things off in thrilling fashion," Mallozzi said of the premiere episode’s script. "The script is fast-paced and fun; its characters unique and engaging. My favorite: Dr. David Rush. Oh, he’s going to be a handful. Originally planned as a two-parter, Brad and Robert quickly discovered that there was simply too much story for such a tight frame, so the series opener is now looking like a three-parter."
