Amazon Revives Stargate Franchise with New Series Announcement

Amazon has announced the development of a new series in the beloved *Stargate* franchise, marking a significant revival for the iconic science fiction brand. The series, simply titled *Stargate*, is being produced by Amazon MGM Studios and is set to be available on Prime Video. The announcement comes in conjunction with a teaser video that generated excitement among long-time fans and newcomers alike.

The *Stargate* franchise began with a film released in 1994, directed by Roland Emmerich, featuring actors Kurt Russell and James Spader. This initial project led to a successful expansion that includes three live-action television series: *Stargate SG-1*, *Stargate Atlantis*, and *Stargate Universe*, along with various direct-to-DVD movies and animated shows.

Creative Team Behind the New Series

The new *Stargate* series will be led by creator and showrunner Martin Gero, who has an extensive history with the franchise, having previously served as a writer and producer for its earlier iterations. Gero shared his enthusiasm in a statement, reflecting on his journey with the franchise: “Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a story editor on *Stargate: Atlantis*. I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series. *Stargate* taught me everything about making television — it’s written into my DNA. I’m beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase.”

Alongside Gero, the executive production team includes Roland Emmerich, Dead Devlin, Joby Harold, and Tory Tunnell. Additionally, consulting producers Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, both of whom have significant experience with previous *Stargate* projects, will contribute their expertise to the new series.

Vision for the Future of Stargate

The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from fans, many of whom have kept the franchise alive through various conventions and online communities. Nick Pepper of Amazon MGM Studios commented on the franchise’s enduring appeal, stating, “*Stargate* is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity’s place in the cosmos. In partnership with our extraordinary creative team of Martin, Tory, and Joby, we’re honored to open this next gate to bring a visionary new chapter of this beloved franchise to our global Prime Video audience, one that honors the series’ rich legacy while propelling it into an ambitious and emotionally resonant future.”

While specific plot details remain undisclosed at this time, the excitement surrounding the *Stargate* series signals a promising return to a universe that continues to inspire and engage audiences worldwide. As production progresses, fans will be eagerly anticipating what new adventures await them in the *Stargate* universe, which has already proven to be a significant part of science fiction history.
