This is the fourth SyFy made series starring Amanda Tapping to be cancelled, the others being Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe but fans of the sultry star will no doubt see her back on their screens in the not too distant future with SyFy announcing that they plan to work with Tapping (along with Sanctuary creators Damian Kindler and Martin Wood) on a future project.
Will SyFy do the same with Sanctuary as they did with Stargate SG-1 and continue the series with a tv movie? While it hasn't been announced yet this is always a possibility although in the case of Stargate SG-1 the movies were spurred on by rights holder MGM, unfortunately Sanctuary doesn't have quite the following of that series and so a tv movie could be seen as too big a gamble.
Lovers of mutant themed science fiction need not be too downhearted though, SyFy did renew Alphas last year and this year gave the go ahead for another series of the impressive US version of the BBC's Being Human which means there's still at least two reasons you might want to stick with SyFy.
That being said it may be a good thing if SyFy don't make a tv movie of Sanctuary, given their less than exciting movies featuring everything from flying sharks that eat airplanes to the upcoming Arachnoquake (about killer albino spiders unleashed by an earthquake!) they might make things worse.
