Canadian sci-fi Sanctuary has been axed by the Syfy network.
The drama led by Amanda Tapping will not return for a fifth season, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Mark Stern, president, Syfy original content and co-head, UCP said, in a statement, “We’re honored to have been part of this incredible series. In addition to garnering unmatched devotion by fans worldwide, Sanctuary was a bona fide trailblazer, setting new standards with its highly innovative production techniques – including pioneering green screen and RED camera technology – and Emmy-nominated visual effects.”
Tapping took to Twitter on Monday afternoon: “To all the fans of @SanctuarySeries we love and adore you. Thank you for the love and support. Now to the long dark tea time of my soul. :(”
The show has aired in Australia on both SciFi and ABC2, with the latter about to screen Season 4 in early June.

Shame this was canceled and not given a final season like Eureka.
Not surprised. If you look on the Syfy web site it’s schedule is now filled with movies and reality shows.
They have been leaving is hanging with a yay or nay on renewal since it finished its fourth season last year. Nice to have it confirmed, but not really surprised. I think the only decent sci-fi left on TV is Falling Skies, and it’s not even on SyFy.
Hmmm Although not strictly science fiction – a little bit to much all about the abnormals for my liking – The SF Genre has lost/will be losing a lot of shows
Time for someone to up the ante with a decent Sci-fi
Such a shame. Pretty soon there will be no SciFi on syfy. Which is I’m sure what they intended all along with that name change…
I’m sick of being disappointed by syfy, season 4 was by far the best season so far. Hopefully now we will get a mini-series or movie?
