My heart breaks… a show they truly would have loved.

# The Gate Will Reopen SAVE STARGATE
Amazon MGM greenlit a new Stargate series from franchise veteran Martin Gero, then halted production before filming. If the gate is going to reopen, Amazon needs to see respectful, visible demand from fans and new viewers.
As featured in Radio Times“The world is hungry for more great science fiction and fantasy.”
New here? The 30-second version
What Stargate is
One of science fiction's biggest franchises: a 1994 film and more than seventeen years of television, 354 episodes, about a present-day team that steps through an ancient ring, the Stargate, to explore other worlds. Smart, hopeful adventure with a huge global following.
What just happened
Amazon greenlit a brand-new Stargate series from the franchise's own veterans in late 2025, then cancelled it in June 2026, before a single scene was filmed, saying it lacked “broad appeal beyond the dedicated fanbase.”
Why it matters to anyone
That reason does not match the facts, and it is part of a wider pattern of studios shelving finished, in-demand shows. You do not have to be a fan to see the problem, or to ask a two-trillion-dollar company to revisit a decision its own data argues against.
Never seen it? That is exactly the point. A faithful Stargate is built for you too, not just the people who already love it.
The cast and crew gave years to a show they would have loved making, and never got to finish. They are the ones who lost the most, and the ones we owe.

Axed Production Halted
Variety reports the series cancelled over fears it “would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase,” before a single frame was filmed. Per Deadline the decision “came late in the process,” reportedly the Friday before it broke. Days, not months.

Still Possible The Gate Can Reopen
Studios respond to demand that is organized, respectful, and measurable. A clear, positive campaign asking Amazon MGM and Prime Video to revive the series can change the outcome.

Don’t Let The Gate Close Quietly.
Amazon can still reverse this. A respectful, organised audience is the one thing that has reversed calls like it before, and the most powerful thing you can send is your own story: how many friends you have brought to Stargate, the adventures it gave you, what it taught you. Here is exactly how to be heard.
