The cast list for the new Stargate series Atlantis has been released, and it appears that Adam Baldwin will not be part of the main cast.

Casting has been completed on Sci Fi Channel's new original series, Stargate Atlantis. Joe Flanigan leads the cast of heroes, who will undertake humanity's greatest -- and most dangerous -- mission yet. "Atlantis" will debut with a two-hour premiere in July '04, which will feature cross-over appearances by members of the Stargate SG-1 team.

Following its premiere, 18 additional original episodes of "Atlantis" will air during the show's regular Friday night 10 p.m. ET/PT slot, as a companion series to the all-new eighth season of Stargate SG-1, giving sci-fi fans a double dose of "Stargate" adventures.

Stargate Atlantis is the newest addition to the hit franchise that introduced audiences to instantaneous travel to thousands of worlds through an ancient portal called the Stargate. "Atlantis" will take viewers to a completely new galaxy of Stargates for the adventure of a lifetime.

When a secret base, abandoned by the original builders of the Stargates, is found buried in the ice of Antarctica, the Stargate Atlantis team is born. Their discovery leads to a daring expedition to the distant Pegasus galaxy, where they encounter a primitive human civilization... and a sinister new enemy that threatens human life everywhere.

The Stargate Atlantis mission is headed by Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Tore Higginson), a specialist in diplomatic relations. Her political savvy is balanced by the go-with-your-gut bravado of her military counterpart, Major John Sheppard (Flanigan), a courageous and gifted pilot. Rounding out the crew are Rainbow Sun Francks as Lieutenant Aiden Ford, the enthusiastic young officer who becomes Sheppard's second-in-command, and David Hewlett, reprising his recurring Stargate SG-1 role of Dr. Rodney McKay, a clever and quick- witted astrophysicist. Rachel Luttrell plays Teyla, a beautiful young leader among the primitive alien civilization that the Atlantis team encounters.

In a special guest starring role, sci-fi favorite Robert Patrick (Terminator 2, The X-Files) will appear as Colonel Marshall Sumner in the 2-hour Stargate Atlantis premiere event.

Currently in production in Vancouver, British Columbia, Stargate Atlantis will be distributed by MGM Worldwide Television Distribution. Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper serve as executive producers on the new series. Cooper is currently executive producer on Stargate SG-1; Brad Wright is co-creator of Stargate SG-1, and served as the series' executive producer for six seasons.

And can I just say, Thank God! Cause, really, that show sounds awful. I don't think I could watch it just for Adam. And we all know how I feel about Adam.

The funny thing is I can't find anything about this Joe Flanigan guy expect for some of his work, and one pic at tvtome.com.

Usually shows that pick people like this, go further then others :P

Yeah, I'm glad he's not on that show- he can do better. Now if only Nathan Fillion could find something better than a Fox 21 Jump Street knockoff...

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Don't recognize his face:

The name Joe Flanigan sounds familiar, but scanning his credited works, I don't recognize him from anything.

Shame that Adam didn't get the part, but if the movie is a success, we will see Adam where he belongs, as Jayne on the new series.

i DO aim to misbehave

I recognize him from "Sisters" - which was a total chick series. His recurring role involved being the oldest sister's rebound relationship during a misguided separation from her husband.

I'm glad Adam didn't get Atlantis. I could see him sticking around on Stargate for awhile after O'Neill gets promoted. He could end up being SG-1's new CO.

After seeing Nathan as Mal, I think we're all going to have a hard time accepting him in any other role, let alone one that is so obviously beneath his talent and ability. Fella's gotta eat, pay bills and such.
