Amazon Has Dramatically Axed Its Stargate Revival, 6 Months After Its Announcement
Amazon pulled the new Stargate series after six months, citing concerns that Martin Gero’s version would not reach beyond the franchise’s fanbase.
- Amazon canceled the Stargate revival series six months after its announcement, ending plans for a "bold new chapter" of the sci-fi franchise.
- Franchise veteran Martin Gero led development of the "new original series," which was not intended to be a reboot, building on his work with Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis before Amazon MGM Studios greenlighted the project.
- After completing a 20-week writers' room and entering pre-production in the UK, Amazon leadership allegedly felt the creative direction lacked broad appeal beyond the existing fanbase.
- The cancellation follows restructuring at Amazon MGM Studios, where former executives Nick Pepper and Matt King departed, leaving Brett Fetter, Head of Worldbuilding & Genre Series, overseeing franchise strategy.
- Although Amazon abandoned this project, the studio remains open to exploring other Stargate ventures, though no productions are currently active for the franchise that originally launched with a 1994 film.
