Sci-fi fans have reason to celebrate! Fourteen years after the finale of “Stargate Universe,” Amazon MGM Studios has officially announced work on a brand-new series in the cult Stargate universe. The series will stream exclusively on Prime Video, and at the helm is a veteran of the franchise, Martin Gero.
Who is behind the project?
Martin Gero, who began his career as a story editor on “Stargate: Atlantis” and later worked on all three classic series (SG-1, Atlantis and Universe), has become showrunner and lead writer. In a special announcement video, he enthusiastically stresses:
“This will NOT be a reboot! It is a new, bold chapter that respects the legacy of the series while taking us toward an exciting, ambitious future.”
The team includes plenty of legends:
- Brad Wright (co-creator of SG-1, Atlantis and Universe) – consulting producer
- Joe Mallozzi (longtime producer and writer on all three series) – consulting producer
- Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin (creators of the 1994 film)
- Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell (producers of, among others, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”)
What do we know so far?
- The series will continue the universe, opening the door for the return of fan-favorite characters (O’Neill? Carter? Sheppard? Anything is possible!).
- There is no information yet about the cast, premiere date or detailed plot.
- Prime Video’s budget finally means planets that won’t look like forests outside Vancouver!
In his statement, Gero thanked the fans who for years have “kept the gate open” at conventions and during episode marathons: “This is for you. And for new viewers, I promise something truly extraordinary.”
Why is this such a big comeback?
Since the 1994 film with Kurt Russell and James Spader, the Stargate universe has grown to over 350 television episodes, three DVD films and millions of loyal fans. After Amazon took over MGM in 2021, rumors circulated for years – now they have become reality.
