Martin Gero Leads Stargate Revival, Canceled After 10 Months

Amazon canceled the stargate revival on June 2, barely 10 months after Martin Gero was announced to spearhead it. The planned series had already been written, then stopped before it reached viewers.

Martin Gero’s Written Revival

Martin Gero, the writer and director attached last fall, was set to guide a new Stargate revival series on Amazon Prime. The plan never moved beyond development in public view, and the details of where it would be set or how it would connect to the earlier shows were never made public.

The cancellation closes the door on a project that was being built for hardcore sci-fi fans. That group had already seen the franchise run for over 30 years, with Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis lasting 15 seasons and over 300 episodes between them.

Stargate SG-1 on Netflix

Stargate Universe aired in 2009 and lasted two seasons, leaving the brand with a long gap before this attempted revival. The full Stargate SG-1 series is now streaming on Netflix, so the catalog entry that many viewers can still reach is the one that helped define the franchise’s TV run.

For Amazon, the loss is not a finished season but a finished plan: a written revival with a built-in audience that never got a launch date. For viewers who had celebrated the announcement last fall, the practical result is simple — the franchise stays in the library, but the new chapter does not move forward.
