Prime Video, who acquired the rights through Amazon’s purchase of MGM, are making a new Stargate series. The show, simple titled Stargate, comes from creator and showrunner Martin Gero, who has worked as a writer and producer on the three previous live-action Stargate shows.
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. For those who’ve kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith — this one’s for you. And for those that are new to our world, I promise you’re in for something extraordinary.

The franchise began with the Roland Emmerich film starring Kurt Russell and James Spader before moving to television. Three series — Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe — along with two direct-to-DVD feature films, a short-lived animated show and a 2018 web series. The new Stargate will be the first TV series in the franchise since Stargate Universe concluded in 2011.
The new series is being described as a “bold new chapter” in the Stargate franchise.
Gero will executive produce with Joby Harold (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and Tory Tunnell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) of Safehouse Pictures, Dean Devlin and Emmerich. Brad Wright, who co-created the three previous Stargate series, and Joe Mallozzi, an executive producer and writer on all three shows, will be consulting producers.
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.

We Have Issues 
After SGU, it was fair for the Stargate franchise to take a break. Now its revival should be as timely as 2005’s for Doctor Who and Next Generation for Star Trek. Let’s all hope that the powers that be have learned from the mistakes made with other endeavors in recent years.
