A new Stargate show is in the works at Amazon MGM Studios.
Stargate originated as a 1994 movie directed by Roland Emmerich that stars Kurt Russell and James Spader. That film spawned a franchise that includes three live-action series — Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe — among other direct-to-DVD movies, animated shows, and more.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon has now ordered a brand-new Stargate series for Prime Video that will simply be titled Stargate. Check out an announcement video for the new show below:
What do we know about Amazon’s new Stargate show?
The new Stargate show comes from creator and showrunner Martin Gero, who worked as a writer and producer on the other Stargate series.
“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,” Gero said in a statement. “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.”
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time. Gero also serves as an executive producer on the new show alongside Emmerich, Dead Devlin, Joby Harold, and Tory Tunnell. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, both of whom have also been involved in past Stargate projects, 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,” Amazon MGM Studios’ Nick Pepper said. “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.”
