Amazon wants to make fans cry and abruptly cancels one of the most anticipated science fiction series of the decade

We had been waiting 8 years for one more episode of the Stargate saga after the end of Stargate Origins, and everyone assumed that this new blood would come from the new series on Amazon Prime Video that had been in development for months… until, in a turn of events, the platform decided to cancel it outright and without any consideration. Goodbye to the star journey. Martin Gero, who was one of the writers of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, is knocking on the door again and was in charge of bringing the series to a good port… until […]

We had been waiting 8 years for one more episode of the Stargate saga after the end of Stargate Origins, and everyone assumed that this new blood would come from the new series from Amazon Prime Video that had been in development for months… until, in a turn of events, the platform has decided to cancel it outright and without any consideration. Goodbye to the star journey.

They Knock on the Door Again

Martin Gero, who was one of the writers of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, was in charge of bringing the series to a successful conclusion… until Amazon executives, concerned that the series might not reach a wider audience than the existing one, a very dedicated but niche fan base, decided that this was it. Of course, this has not been well received by all those who were waiting for it, who claim, not without reason, that much worse and more niche things are approved every day.

Apparently, this is not the end of the franchise, because Amazon continues to explore new ways to continue with Stargate in some way. Moreover: Gero will continue developing projects for the giant, although, I suppose, it will be impossible to shake off the feeling that it could have been something very special.

No one knows, at least for now, what this new series of the saga would be about, but if I had to bet, I would say we will find out sooner or later. As was to be expected, fans are already launching online campaigns to bring the project back but, at this point, it doesn’t seem like they will get anywhere. The door has closed again, and we will see if it’s for good.

Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that it has greenlit a new series based on the iconic science fiction franchise, Stargate. This announcement marks an exciting return for fans of the saga, which has left an indelible mark on popular culture since its debut in the late 1990s. The series will be developed as a continuation of the Stargate universe, promising to explore new stories and characters in this vast cosmos.

To infinity and beyond!

The production of the series will be under the direction of Martin Gero, a veteran of Stargate known for his previous experience in developing high-profile projects in the industry. Gero, who is also known for his work on the NBC series Blindspot, has expressed his enthusiasm for returning to a universe that has been fundamental in his career. His involvement raises expectations about the creative direction the series will take and the connection to the classic elements that fans want to see.

This new project is part of a broader strategy by Amazon to revive and expand popular intellectual properties from MGM. Stargate was one of the first MGM titles identified for audiovisual adaptations, and its return is a testament to the ongoing interest in nostalgic science fiction sagas. With a rich history that includes multiple movies and series, the franchise has a loyal fan base eagerly anticipating the new vision that will be presented on Prime Video.

Although not many details have been revealed about the specific plot of the new series or its release date, the proposal from Amazon MGM Studios is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases in the realm of science fiction. The combination of an established legacy and Gero’s experience promises to keep the Stargate flame alive for generations to come.
