Amazon Cancels Latest 'Stargate' TV Series: What's Next for the Franchise?
The latest "Stargate" TV series has been canceled by Amazon, as reported exclusively by Variety. The show, which was announced in November 2025, was being developed by Martin Gero, known for his work on "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis." Amazon executives were worried that Gero's vision for the series might not attract a wide audience beyond existing fans of the franchise.
Amazon had been looking to expand the "Stargate" universe after acquiring MGM Studios in 2022. Despite the cancellation of Gero's series, Amazon is still interested in exploring new ways to expand the franchise. No specific details about the plot of Gero's show were ever revealed.
The original "Stargate" movie was released in 1994, followed by the successful series "Stargate SG-1," which ran for 10 seasons. The franchise also spawned the spinoff "Stargate Atlantis," which aired for five seasons. Over the years, there have been two direct-to-video movies and three additional TV shows, including the most recent one, "Stargate Origins," in 2018.
While Gero's series will not move forward, fans of the "Stargate" franchise can still look forward to new projects and developments in the future.
