Amazon MGM Announces New “Stargate” Series in Development

This just in-

After 24 years, Amazon MGM has confirmed a new “Stargate” series is indeed in the works.

Martin Gero (“Quantum Leap“), who worked on “Stargate: Atlantis,” is heading the project, which is being touted as a new chapter- not a reboot of — the sci-fi series. Original film co-writers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (who directed the original film) will executive produce.

“Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on ‘Stargate: Atlantis,’” Gero said. “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.”

Gero will serve as writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the new series. Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell will executive produce for Safehouse Pictures. Longtime “Stargate” creatives Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi will serve as 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,” Nick Pepper, Head of US SVOD TV development for Amazon MGM Studios. “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.”
