Join us for a live chat with Lou Diamond Phillips, the star of the new Syfy series ‘Stargate Universe,’ and executive producer Brad Wright this Thursday, October 1st at 11:15am ET on Fancast.

‘Stargate Universe’ follows a band of soldiers, scientists and civilians, who must fend for themselves as they are forced through a Stargate when their hidden base comes under attack. The desperate survivors emerge aboard an ancient ship, which is locked on an unknown path and unable to return to Earth. Faced with meeting the most basic needs of food, water and air, the group must discover the secrets of the ship’s Stargate to survive. The danger, adventure and hope they find on board the Destiny will reveal the heroes and villains among them.

Edgier and younger in tone, ‘Stargate Universe’ will take the franchise in a dynamic new direction, appealing to longtime ‘Stargate’ fans and first-time viewers alike. The series premieres at 9pm on Syfy this Friday, October 2nd.
