STARGATE RETURNS!

Yes, it’s true.  14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU’s “Gauntlet”), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon.  And it’s not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history.  It’s a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past.  And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember’d and many more.

Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe.  Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.

Martin has been developing this show for a while now.  A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked “Want to read something cool?”.  That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series.  Now I obviously can’t say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.

You are all in for a treat.

Eventually.

Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond.  Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.

It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process.  Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!

Get ready.  We’re heading through the gate one more time.

Chevron Eight is locked!

@trussliz @LukeMarsden One uninformed person agreeing with another uninformed person doesn’t make either of them correct, try googling it..

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@Caspersight bit tricky to make out but what do you make of this glowing ball changing shape in the middle at the bottom (full version is on my Allsky site https://t.co/TlTwvjVm1t) could be a raindrop, not sure..?

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@skytv @dynamoisdeadx Oh, so this is why TicToc asked if I would watch Dynamo is Dead, I thought it meant my cars dynamo/alternator..

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@elonmusk Does that include XXX calls? Asking for a friend..

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@skytv quick question, which app do I need to download to view all the Sky Store movies I’ve purchased on my Apple TV box?

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@elonmusk Speaking in strange tongues is never a good sign..

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@j_a_mendoza @marcocantu Clearly functionally indifferent.. 😂

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@LukeMarsden @WigToday Holy crap Luke! Not seen you in my timeline in years? Good subject too, I love the NHS too, though getting to see a GP? A good 6 weeks down here, I’m supposed to have 6 month medication reviews, not had one since pre pandemic.. doubting I ever will..

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@elonmusk Congrats on hiding it so well.. 😋

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@elonmusk I have to admit, a week later yours is still the first tweet I see.. shame your rocket exploded, I guess rocket science is harder than Brain surgery.. #whoknew

[Stephen Mott @stephenmott]

@elonmusk The thing I hate about Facebook & Instagram is it always scrolls to now, & I have to scroll back to where I left off. Twitter now just always scrolls to your latest tweet, I wouldn’t mind if they were interesting tweets but.. “what’s a woman”? Really..?
