There were concerns that it would only appeal to hardcore fans.
MGM Amazon's fledgling Stargate series, announced last November, has been canceled, Variety reported. The new show was met with enthusiasm by franchise fans and would have been helmed by Martin Gero, who worked on Stargate: Atlantis back in the early 2000s. However, Amazon execs were said to be worried that the new series would only appeal to hardcore Stargate fans and lacked broad appeal beyond that.
"Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate seeries," said executive producer Joseph Mallozzi on X. "As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters — or reintroduce you to and check in with some familiar faces from the past."
