@PrimeVideo Prime stole the show...and cancelled it

@PrimeVideo Doing Summer wrong is cancelling Stargate.

The Stargate fandom's message is remarkably consistent:

We aren't simply asking for more Stargate.

We are asking @AmazonMGMStudio to preserve what is the franchise's identity—optimistic exploration, established continuity, & the creative vision developed by people who understand the original series.

We have broad agreement that any future revival should retain those core qualities rather than become a complete reinvention.

Why "Martin Gero at the helm" became meaningful, it signaled:

not a reboot, but a continuation;

a creator who genuinely knew the Stargate universe;
someone likely to preserve the franchise's optimistic, adventurous spirit while updating it for modern audiences.

In other words, for a significant part of the fandom, Martin Gero represented the best chance of getting new Stargate that still felt like Stargate, rather than a complete reinvention aimed at a different audience.

@AmazonMGMStudio And yet, as none of this is Stargate...I'll never watch any of it.

@amazon Can I get Stargate Uncancelled this year for Prime Day?

[Laurence Moroney 🇺🇸🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @lmoroney]

I've been following the news about the cancellation of Stargate at @AmazonMGMStudio with interest.

TLDR: They got it very wrong. They don't understand their desired, youthful, audience.

Detailed thoughts in an article in the first comment.

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.

Better left to the imagination I think...
