The status quo is shaken following the events of season four – with cherished friends killed and some new buddies are made. New alliances are forged while new races are introduced.
Robert Picardo, whom Stargate fans will known as International Oversight Committee rep Richard Woolsey, joins the Stargate Atlantis cast this season as Woolsey assumes command of the Atlantis expedition. The team, led by Lt. Colonel Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), Ronon (Jason Momoa) and Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite), must adjust to his bastard leadership style. The series is executive produced by Brad Wright, Robert Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie, Carl Binder, and Martin Gero. Mallozzi and Mullie share the reins as showrunners. Produced by MGM Television, Stargate Atlantis is filmed in Vancouver, Canada.
Fan favorite Paul McGillion, will return for five episodes to reprise his role as Dr. Carson Beckett. Amanda Tapping (aka Colonel Samantha Carter) will appear as a special guest star in several episodes this season and Stargate SG-1 actor Michael Shanks (Dr. Daniel Jackson) will appear as a special guest in episodes as well.
Stargate Atlantis follows the adventures of a team of military and civilian explorers who travel the distant Pegasus galaxy by Stargate. In their mission to seek out other technologies left behind by the Ancients, the Atlantis team encounters alien cultures – some friend, some foe.
