Amazon has a record of sorts with baffling decisions, but it has evolved into ignorance of a fan base in effort for that ever elusive Wider Audience that just doesn't exist as they want it to be. Instead, Amazon with its missteps lately will be looked at for years as the platform that won't stick with its creators or established fan bases. Great example to set! We can take a step to push back. Sign the petitions, make your voice heard and stand up for what you love, care and support. #savestargate
As a bit of a Google Trends nerd 😂 If Stargate were a dead franchise and aimed at a “small dedicated fanbase” you wouldn’t expect worldwide search spikes for “Stargate SG-1 Netflix” (+800%), “Stargate Netflix,” and “Stargate new series.”
The datas suggestion is there is still a strong meaningful audience demand whenever the franchise becomes visible on a major streaming platform for example. (There’s numerous examples of this kind’ve trend)
So if little old me with a PC and a pretty ok understanding of how social media ticks can see the missed goal here.
How is it the executive at Amazon MGM getting paid what I’m sure is top money get to the decision they did from a strategic standpoint?
I feel there’s a missing piece here because it makes no sense. lol.

Let's show @AmazonMGMStudio who their audience is on X for Stargate.
I see devout Christians, pronoun bio folks, men, women, and people from across the globe following or liking my posts. Stargate brings us together when modern media wants us to be at each other's throats.
With no official cancellation announcement from Amazon MGM Studios, the Stargate series isn't dead yet. Here are 5 reasons for hope and 5 actions fans can take today:
Reasons to Believe the Decision Can Be Reversed
- The Showrunner is Still Under Contract: Martin Gero has an active agreement to develop TV with Amazon outside of Stargate, meaning he is still inside the company and available if they pivot.
- Money Has Already Been Spent: Because extensive work and financial resources have already been invested into the pre-production of this specific iteration, it is much easier for Amazon to restart it than to begin from scratch.
- Proven Track Record of Attracting Late-Stage Viewers: Fans note that people successfully hopped onto the franchise as late as SG1 Season 10, proving the series can naturally attract new fans while still honoring past continuity.
- The Franchise is Ripe for a Dual-Generation Cast: The established Stargate universe is uniquely positioned to seamlessly blend classic legacy characters with brand-new characters, creating a low-risk bridge for both old and new audiences.
- Unrealized Viewership Demand: Commentary reveals there is a large segment of the fanbase that didn’t even know a new series was in development, meaning Amazon has a massive, untapped audience ready to watch the moment marketing actually begins.
Actions Fans Can Take
- Sign the "Save the Gate" Petition: Fans can sign the specific petition launched with showrunner Martin Gero to help reach a goal of one million signatures.
- Email the Head of Global Television: Fans can bypass the executive who canceled it and direct their emails and letters straight to Peter Friedlander, the boss who originally greenlit the show.
- Leverage Household Influence: Parents who are Stargate fans can threaten to stop sharing their Amazon Prime passwords and accounts with their adult children, impacting Amazon's viewership data.
- Leave Public Feedback in the Video Comments: Fans are encouraged to share their honest, open answers and frustration in the comments section to build visible public consensus.
- Share Personal Multi-Generational Stories: Fans can share personal testimonies showing that entire families—spanning three generations—gather together to watch the show, proving its massive household appeal.
New Stargate Series Canceled... Amazon Wants "YOUNGER" Audience! What's Next?https://t.co/9Wmj4Qg9bW by the @PopcastGuys@BaronDestructo@MichaelShanks@GateWorld@dial_the_gate@disparutoo@Nerdrotics@TheCriticalDri2@bradtravelers@martingero@fandompulse@pulse_tachyon
Asmongold has 4.58million subscribers and he acknowledged the cancellation of Stargate. I'd say that's a pretty big deal! He said, "...Stargate is huge; everybody knows what Stargate is."
Yessir!

So I'm seeing a lot of Stargate related things online, which is awesome.
I heard recently that Amazon wanted to cancel the new show because too many fans like it...because that makes sense right?
No not really, so why not do my part and talk about why I like Stargate???
You missed the next step - as long as you get your registration done within 24 - 48 hours, you can take the citation to traffic court and they'll often waive the fine. That can depend on how long the tag has been expired for. The same goes for a ticket for having a light out, and other small things.
@MarkBadMan@jondelarroz It wasn't low ratings. It was MGM going bankrupt. They scaled way back trying to save enough money to keep going. They were on life support and that's why Amazon bought them.
@SmitheeAll88909@BaronDestructo I do hope that @AmazonMGMStudio knows that SGA and SGU weren't cancelled because of lack of viewers. They were cancelled because MGM was going bankrupt and had to scale back, trying to survive.
