New 'Stargate' Series Announced for Prime Video as the Franchise Expands

Prime Video is officially reopening the 'Stargate,' launching a brand-new chapter in the iconic sci-fi franchise. The Amazon-owned platform has greenlit a new series simply titled 'Stargate,' produced by Amazon MGM Studios—now the home of the franchise's rights. 

The project will be led by creator and showrunner Martin Gero, a longtime contributor to the 'Stargate' universe after working as a writer and producer across all three previous live-action series.

Gero reflected on returning to the franchise, sharing that his early television career began with 'Stargate: Atlantis' and that the franchise shaped his understanding of storytelling and production. He expressed excitement about guiding the series into its next evolution and promised dedicated fans and newcomers alike an impressive new experience rooted in the spirit of the original universe.

The franchise's legacy stretches back to the 1994 feature film from Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, which inspired three hit series—'Stargate SG-1,' 'Stargate Atlantis,' and 'Stargate Universe.' It also spawned two direct-to-DVD films, an animated series, and a 2018 web project. This upcoming Prime Video series marks the franchise's first television return since 'Stargate' Universe ended in 2011.

While Prime Video is keeping story details top secret, the streamer describes the project as a bold new era for the 'Stargate' mythology. Behind the scenes, Gero will be joined by executive producers Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures, along with Devlin and Emmerich. Longtime architects Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi will contribute as consulting producers, helping ensure the new instalment respects the franchise's established history.

According to the studio, the new series aims to honour that legacy while taking the sci-fi saga into its most ambitious direction yet.

The gate is reopening—and fans around the world are preparing for a visionary new journey through the stars.
