(2/2)...coming together in support of this much beloved IP gives me hope. We don't know what the future holds, but together, we are mighty.

As I sit here with @jennystiven discussing Stargate, TV/film, and all sorts of production related things, I'm still so sad about the cancelation of a show that brought me so much joy. I was so excited about the new iteration of Stagate. "Seeing" all these fans...(1/2)

Watch this for the best take yet of what “happened”…..

I am so sad to hear about Stargate not moving forward. The show, the people, the fans, all incredible. I think @AmazonMGMStudio is doing the franchise and everyone involved a disservice.

I think someone needs to get their heart checked.

[Jack O'Neill @Jack2LOneill]

NEW DEMAND TO @AmazonMGMStudio

Pick an option
1) Let the Stargate creators make a new show

2) Release the rights so fans can do it

Choosing anything else is selfish and a waste

[Kelly Varner @VarnerPhotos]

I feel the same.

[Brad Wright 🇨🇦 @bradtravelers]

Martin and his team were doing amazing work and I wish the world got to see it. I wish I got to see it, too.

[Kelly Varner @VarnerPhotos]

This makes me sad.

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.

There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...

Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.

As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.

My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

@JohnBarrowman Sending you and your family love. Your mother was an amazing human being.

[Kelly Varner @VarnerPhotos]

@TammyDuckworth Thank you. Today, my husband is at the VFW honoring those he lost. "When I prayed to bring them all home alive, I should have asked to keep them alive. Tony, Sean, Sully, Virgil, Mike, and Dom, and so many others. This list is getting too long! Until Valhalla Brothers!"

[Kelly Varner @VarnerPhotos]

@SamMaggs @StarTrek @webtoonofficial @kisaient Same, that is so exciting! Congratulations! Looking forward to watching it.
