Amazon Greenlights A New Stargate Series

expecting rings of power and modern audience shit.

hopefully they address Universe in some small way that gives a bit of closure on that series.

It's a continuation, not a reboot. Same timeline as the original.
 

About that new Stargate series...

I originally covered this on my blog but wanted to make a dedicated post here as I know a lot of Stargate fans still frequent reddit. I have, admittedly, been pulled back on my presence here since changes were made to the notification access that makes it incredibly counter-intuitive and frustrating to actually read messages. Anyway....


Yes, it's true. 14 years after the franchise aired its last episode (SGU's "Gauntlet"), a new Stargate series has been greenlit by Amazon. And it's not a reboot or a wholesale reimagining that will wipe the slate clean on 17 seasons and some 350 hours of Stargate history. It's a new series that will be the perfect jumping-on point for first-time viewers while, at the same time, honoring the existing past. And the reason for that is because this new series was created by longtime franchise veteran Martin Gero who worked on SG-1, Atlantis and Universe, writing such notable fan favorites as The Storm, The Eye, Duet, First Strike, Be All My Sins Remember'd and many more.

Joining the production of the new series is Brad Wright, co-creator and co-showrunner of all that came before – Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Martin has kindly offered yours truly a role on the project as well and I have happily accepted.

Martin has been developing this show for a while now. A little over a year ago, he reached out and asked "Want to read something cool?". That something, it turned out, was his pilot script for the new Stargate series. Now I obviously can't say too much about the content at this point – but I can assure you that it embraces everything that made the original Stargates so great: heart, humor, rich mythology, exploration, action, adventure, compelling/endearing characters, and that overall sense of optimism and fun that made you fall in love with Stargate.

You are all in for a treat.

Eventually.

Now putting this production together is going to take some time even though Martin has already done a lot of the preliminary heavy lifting, writing the pilot script and series overview that details the show, its world and characters, as well as his plans for the first season and beyond. Between now and the series premiere somewhere down the line, the writers room must be assembled, stories need to be spun, scripts written, prep started, crew hired, actors cast and, eventually, a new Stargate series produced.

It will take a while but Martin shares my philosophy when it comes to dialing in the fandom, so expect to receive updates throughout the prep, production, and post process. Concept art, behind-the-scenes photos, videos and insights, breaking news and much much more!

Get ready. We're heading through the gate one more time.

This is going to take a while, in any case.

 
If I were Bezos (ick), then funding is contingent on Joe and Brad revealing the true ending to SGU. Heck since we're in fantasy land, funding is contingent on filming a season 6 of SGA and at least a couple of more seasons of SGU.

And the third SG-1 movie (Extinction)!

Atlantis was supposed to have 1 movie as well.

i hope they have someone from the original movies cast in it like john deihl, french stewart, ect

I doubt they'll do that, especially since the movie was partially reconnected.
they did have 4 actors of the movie in the original show, but both the actors you mentioned were replaced in the show... and one of the characters actually died already as well 😬 got the back of his head cut off by the gate

as a Sliders fanboy... I'd be fine with that, but I don't think it would go over well with the majority of SG fans.

they might actually go SUPER save and literally make Stargate SG-2... even name it SG-2, a group of newcomers going through their first missions through the gate.
have O'Neill there as the boss maybe, basically playing the role of General Hammond...

I don't see how you could follow the massively built up lore of sg1 and sea, and to some extend sgu with a new team. The earth at this point was engaged in massive intergalactic wars with seriously advanced tech.

They need a soft reboot IMHO.

I mean, they already said it's not retconning the previous shows.
so, they gotta figure something out I guess
 
I just hope they make all the characters competent with only a minimum of personal trauma, baggage, or conflicts ready to go. Make the show about the best of us working together, not the worst of us having to survive. If a woman shows up, please remember that it is fucking 2025, not 1965, and she doesnt need to immediately get attacked by all the men and then have her girl boss moment. We all understand that a girl can be a respected physician, scientist, engineer, or linguistics specialist. And if you cast correctly, we will even accept a Green Beret SEAL Force Recon Para jumper as a skirt :p

Wow, this actually sounds promising! I loved the original movie and the main show. Atlantis didn't hit the same but was still good.

I really hope this will be more like Fallout show (despite some problems ) and not like Rings of Power (no redeemable quality).
