The fourth season of Stargate Atlantis is scheduled to begin airing on Sci-Fi Channel in the US on September 28, 2007. This season, it moves to a new timeslot: 10:00pm Eastern/Pacific time, 9:00pm Central. The premiere, "Adrift", takes place after the events of "First Strike", the season 3 finale. Torri Higginson and Paul McGillion will no longer be regulars in season four, and Amanda Tapping will join the cast, carrying the role of Samantha Carter over from SG-1.
Plot
The premiere, "Adrift", is a continuation of the storyline of "First Strike". The second episode, "Lifeline", also continues this arc. A new species, known as Travelers, are introduced in the episode of the same name. The executive producers have stated that many of the episodes in this season will be more character-based than before. Among these character story-arcs is an arc featuring Teyla Emmagan's pregnancy. The inspiration for this pregnancy came from Teyla-actress Rachel Luttrell's real-life pregnancy. According to statements made by the executive producers, the mid-season three-part arc will feature an alliance of the Atlantis expedition and a faction of the Wraith, possibly against the Asurans. There is also a two-part episode in the second half of the season, "The Kindred", which is supposedly going to feature the return of much-loved character Carson Beckett.
