Sci-fi franchises that start with the word “Star” sure tend to have a long shelf life. Obviously, there’s Star Wars and Star Trek, but folks often forget there is also Stargate. Recently, Amazon MGM Studios announced that a new Stargate series was making its way to Prime Video. But according to Variety, those plans are now very much on the back burner. Martin Gero, who was a writer on the long-running series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis, was going to spearhead the revival. But now, Amazon has decided that Gero’s plans were not welcoming enough to non-Stargate diehard fans.
Stargate began as a 1994 movie starring James Spader and Kurt Russell, and became a modest hit. It never got a direct sequel, but it inspired the hit series Stargate SG-1. That show ran for 10 seasons and starred Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, and Christopher Judge. Then came yet another spinoff series, Stargate Atlantis, which then ran for five more seasons between 2004 and 2008. Stargate Universe followed in 2011, and then an animated series. Since that time, there were two direct-to-video Stargate movies, and most recently, the web series Stargate Origins in 2018. And then, there are all the video games, novels, and comic books.
Amazon maintains that they are still looking for ways to explore the franchise, and hopefully, revive it properly. But much like Hulu’s executives said that their canceled revival of Buffy the Vampire Slayer required too much knowledge of the previous series, it may be that Amazon wants to use the familiar Stargate name and discard the rest. Which would be a shame to its legion of loyal fans out there. Maybe they choose to revive it first as a movie on Prime Video, before committing to another series. In any event, it seems the wait for a new Stargate project is now longer than anyone previously believed. But one day, we are certain those intergalactic portals will open up once more.
