Evan Katz, creator of UPN's paranormal series Special Unit 2, confirmed for fans that the network has canceled the series and rescinded its order of the current season's last nine episodes. Speaking on the Yahoo! Special Unit 2 message board, Katz wrote, "I could give you a lot of frustrating details, but the bottom line is the new management of UPN feels differently about the show than the old management. Our back order of nine episodes has been rescinded."
Katz added, "I really appreciate everyone's support for the show, and very much want to hear people's thoughts on the episodes that will air in the next few weeks. And as far as I know, UPN will air all the produced episodes. ... Tonight 'The Straw' aired, and we still have 'The Piper,' 'The Love' and 'The Wish.'" Katz said that five additional episodes remain unfilmed. The cancellation came after CBS president and chief executive Les Moonves took over as head of the network, the Zap2it Web site reported. Both CBS and UPN are part of Viacom.
Also on the same page they had this burb:
UPN is placing its low-rated teen alien series Roswell on hiatus, beginning March 5, the network announced. The show will return with new episodes in late April. UPN recently ordered a full season of the show, whose renewal for next year remains in doubt.

Re: SU2 Canceled! Could it be a good sign?
The X-Files won't be back, but other SF series remain "on the bubble" for renewal for next year. Which one do you think most deserves to return?

Re: SU2 Canceled! Could it be a good sign?

Re: SU2 Canceled! Could it be a good sign?
Since they dropped the last 9 eps of SU2, is it possible we won't get the rest of the Ros eps they promised? Oh, it's that paranoid time of year...
Re: SU2 Canceled! Could it be a good sign?
On second thought, I think SU2 used to be on Wednesday nights after Enterprise...might not be a bad idea to put Ros there instead!
Re: SU2 Canceled! Could it be a good sign?
I think that if Angel isn't renewed by the WB. Then UPN has to by contract pick it up (one of the small print things when Buffy moved)... that would put Buffy and Angel back to back... (I was hoping that it would happen...) That would mean that Roswell would move days.. Its another wait and see season.. The last shows of Roswell HAVE TO do good... I think they will..
Oh, it's that paranoid time of year...
