Syfy's hit original series Eureka has added to its growing list of guest stars for the second half of the show's 4th season. Wallace Shawn (Toy Story features, Gossip Girl), Dave Foley (NewsRadio, Kids in the Hall) and Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica) join previously announced guest stars Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, Ming-Na, and Stan Lee. Season 4.5 of Eureka will air on Syfy in 2011 (return date TBA).
Wallace Shawn will portray Warren Hughes, a relationship auditor sent to Eureka to shadow and report on
Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson- Whitfield). Aaron Douglas appears as Ray, the exuberant leader of "Galaxy Camp." And Dave Foley will appear in the season 4.5 finale as Drew Plotkin, a former weapons specialist turned eco-scientist whose research may be wreaking havoc in Eureka.
A holiday episode of Eureka will premiere on Tuesday, December 7 at 9/8c as part of Syfy's first-ever "Christmas Week." This special episode will feature guest stars
Chris Parnell (30 Rock, Saturday Night Live) and former series regular Matt Frewer as Taggert.
Eureka seems like any other cozy, Pacific Northwest town, but is actually a secret community of geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research. What they've unwittingly created is a place where anything imaginable can happen... and does. Eureka stars Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield,
Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, and features Jordon Hinson. Co-creator Jaime Paglia and
Bruce Miller are Executive Producers and the series is produced by Universal Cable Productions.
Season 4.0 of Eureka aired over the summer and ranked as the show's most-watched half season ever averaging 3.155 million viewers per week (included Live +7 data). The show has been renewed for a 5th season.
