A science fiction series is going into permanent hibernation.

Syfy has canceled “Alphas” after two seasons. The series was created by Zak Penn and Michael Karnow.
“Unfortunately #Alphas is cancelled,” Ryan Cartwright, a cast member, tweeted on Wednesday.
“Sad to say that ALPHAS will not be returning. What an honor to get to play Rachel for 2 years & to work w/ & for the MOST AMAZING PEOPLE EVER,” cast member Azita Ghanizada tweeted.
“Thanks for tuning in the last couple of years!” cast member Warren Christie told his fans.
The X-Men- like“Alphas” revolved around a team of regular people with superhuman physical and mental ability. “Good Night and Good Luck’s” David Straithairn (as their “Dr. X,” Dr. Rosen), Lauren Mennell, Malik Yoba and Erin Way also starred. The team operated under the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the U.S. Department of Defense’s criminal investigative arm.
Penn co-wrote “X-Men: The Last Stand,” had a story credit on “X2.” The series was a co- production between BermanBraun and Universal Cable Productions that debuted July 11, 2011. Despite rumors of its demise, the show was given a 13- episode second season that began July 23, 2012.
buckyr64 and mcw: At least if SyFy drops Haven, it won't be quite as big a catastrophy. In case you didn't know, Haven is a Canadian show that SyFy merely has the USA airing rights for. Even if SyFy were to drop the show, it would still be being made by Showcase until they decided to cancel it...unless, of course, SyFy drops it *because* Showcase cancelled it :-) Of course, if SyFy drops it before Showcase cancels it, people in the US would have to find "alternative" methods of watching the show. It appears that Showcase has episodes of the show available on their website ( www [dot] showcase [dot] ca/video/#haven/video , remove the obvious), but the version of Flash I have installed is too old, so I can't tell if they're full episodes or not.
While I also am unhappy with the cancellation of Alphas, what I really don't understand is why everyone is so surprised/shocked. SyFy has slowly been eliminating its science-fiction shows for the last few years, replacing it all with reality, cooking and wrestling shows...that's why they changed their name away from Sci-Fi. What surprises *me* is the fact that SyFy actually *still* airs and develops sci-fi shows!
Dammit lately it seems like if i like a show it will end up cancelled. Wth is wrong with the networks constantly cancelling show after show while more and more crappy mindnumbing "reality" shows pop up instead
