Stargate Atlantis is a Stargate SG-1 spin-off series made by the Sci Fi Channel. Where SG-1 is based on Earth, Stargate Atlantis takes place, obviously enough, in the city of Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. The show's first season received good ratings and the show was renewed for the 2005–2006 season. The first season premiere episode takes place right after the events of Stargate SG-1's Season 7 finale, Lost City (2).

Stargate Atlantis is notable for breaking with SG-1's military motif; rather than having the Atlantis project led by a military officer such as General George Hammond or General Jack O'Neill, it is commanded by civilian diplomat Doctor Elizabeth Weir. Weir's Atlantis team is a joint multinational effort, with scientists and support crew from various Earth countries including Germany, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, and Canada, as well as a sizable United States military element under the command of Lt. Colonel John Sheppard.

Stargate Atlantis is currently airing in the U.S. at 10:00 PM Eastern Friday nights on the Sci Fi Channel.
