The network reverses its decision to continue the show past Season 5.
August 8, 2011
Eureka fans will be disappointed to hear that Syfy has decided not to go ahead with the recently-announced sixth season of the show. This surprising news comes just days after plans were outlined for a shortened, six-episode Season 6 with the possibility of even continuing on past that.
As it stands now, Eureka's next season - its fifth - will continue as planned but will be its last. The second half of Season 4 is currently airing and will wrap up in September.
Syfy had this to say on the matter in a statement to ew.com:
"After painstaking consideration, we have had to make the difficult business decision to not order a season six of Eureka. But Eureka is not over yet. There is a new holiday episode this December and 12 stellar episodes set to debut next year, marking its fifth season and six memorable years on Syfy. The 2012 episodes are some of the best we’ve seen, and will bring this great series to a satisfying end. We are very grateful to Bruce Miller and Jaime Paglia, their team of incredible writers, and an amazing cast and crew who have consistently delivered a series we continue to be very proud of. We thank the fans for their support of this show and know they will enjoy its final season in 2012."

I’ve been looking forward to new episodes of Eureka since I started getting caught up on old ones at DISHOnline.com. That’s where my TV provider/employer hosts thousands of movies and TV shows to watch On Demand. I was really getting in to the show when I found out that Syfy has canceled the show. I hope they make some movies like they did to wrap up Stargate. Its seems like I wont be watching too many Syfy shows there in the future. This choice upsets me, I really like Syfy, but they always seem to cancel good shows well before their time. I’m sure it’s about the production costs. Good writing and special effects cost a lot, crappy reality shows about haunted china cabinets are cheap.

It is really disappointing when imaginative and entertaining shows like Eureka get cancelled while shows like W W E stay on the air. Eureka, Warehouse 13, Haven are well made and pure entertainment in a time when there is so little on besides reality TV. I live reality, I want to escape to Eureka!!

I cannot believe that you are cancelling what is one of the most enjoyable programs. Please rethink this again.
