Syfy’s Eureka has landed comic book legend Stan Lee as a guest star for their upcoming season.
Eureka was renewed this week for a fifth season on everyone’s favorite nerd network.
Lee himself is excited about his upcoming cameo, having tweeted about it three times on Tuesday, August 17. “I’m sure you all know the great TV series Eureka on the Syfy Channel. Well, I hope it’ll still be considered great after my cameo!” said Lee via Twitter.
Lee flew to Vancouver to film his role, which is being kept under lock and key.
Stargate Universe’s Ming-Na will also have a turn on the series. She will be playing a senator who visits Eureka to deal with a conflict within Global Dynamics.
Lee and Ming-Na join the list of geek-tacular guest stars for the season, which include Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog, The Guild), Chris Parnell (SNL), Jamie Kennedy (Ghost Whisperer), and Jaime Ray Newman (Veronica Mars, Eastwick).
Former cast Members Ed Quinn and Matt Frewer will also be returning.

The network giveth and, unfortunately for Eastwick fans, the network taketh away.After weeks of poor ratings, ABC decided not to order any more episodes of Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, Jaime Ray Newman, Paul Gross, and company. That essentially cancelled the show. Then, in December, ABC pulled Eastwick off the air after only 11 (installments 1-10 and 12) of the show’s 13 episodes had aired.
Last month, the network announced that they’d be burning off the 11th and 13th installments on Saturday, July 10th. Though the show’s been off the air for six months, devoted fans were happy to know they’d finally be able to watch the last of them.
The network has now changed their schedule. They’ve pulled the final episodes of Eastwick and replaced them with reruns of Scoundrels and The Gates, their struggling Sunday dramas. There’s no word if the Eastwick ladies will be rescheduled for a later date or if they might show up online.
We were able to track the episodes down months ago. Though we can’t legally post the video, you can read our detailed synopses of “Red Bath and Beyond” and the series finale, “Pampered and Tampered.” Unfortunately, they don’t wrap up the show storylines.
What do you think? Will ABC finally air the last episodes at some point? Do you still care?
