New Stargate Series Cancelled by Amazon
The new “Stargate” TV series has been axed at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.
The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025. It hailed from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on “Stargate SG-1” and “Stargate: Atlantis” early in his career.
According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase.

Darren from GateWorld just covered a couple additional details provided by Deadline and engaged in some educated speculation about why @amazon dropped the whole project so late into production (they'd already started casting and planned to begin filming this September) and were unwilling to attempt reworking Gero's greenlit script.
The TLDR is that both the @primevideo execs and business strategy have changed in the last 3-4 months, and a fan-forward Stargate project doesn't align with the new vision for the platform.
Save the New Stargate Series: Let Martin Gero Build the Future of the Franchise!
Here's the petition link for anyone who wants to sign. We've averaged an impressive 1,000 signatures per hour since it went online thus far, but let's keep the ball rolling folks.
I don't expect it'll do much, but it sure is cathartic to watch the complaints pile up together, and you never know I guess 乁( •_• )ㄏ
Apologies—that rate was based on my misinterpretation of the change.org mobile interface, but the petition is gaining an exciting amount of momentum this morning. The signature count has jumped from 7k to more than 12.5k in the few hours since I posted the link here.
Please share the petition on as many platforms and with as many people as possible: fans, friends, family, anyone who cares about sci-fi and fandom. International visibility will be crucial over the next couple of days if we want to make a point.
Whether or not this petition is successful in saving the new show, now is the time to make as much noise as possible if we want to save the Stargate franchise. Hold Prime Video accountable for their execs' egregious dismissal of the dedicated fan base on which the franchise's financial value and potential longevity ultimately depend.
Here's the message I've used to reach out to my friends and family. Feel free to borrow if it makes it sharing easier!
Amazon just cancelled the new Stargate show bc it was too fan-forward... They obviously don't care about fan backlash, but we can do nought but try, so here's the petition to reverse the cancellation if you care to help: https://c.org/H2CPzWpP2k
#SaveStargate and #LetGeroBuildTheGate are the official hashtags for the petition.
