New "Stargate" TV Series In The Works
The project marks Amazon’s second attempt to revive the sci-fi franchise after a previous series effort failed to move forward.
- Amazon MGM Studios has tapped WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer to develop a new Stargate series under her overall deal with the studio. This marks the company's second attempt to revive the science fiction franchise.
- In June, Amazon scrapped showrunner Martin Gero's Stargate revival after a 20-week writers' room, reportedly due to concerns the project lacked broad appeal beyond the existing fanbase.
- Schaeffer, known for Marvel Studios hits WandaVision and Agatha All Along, will executive produce alongside Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures. Both Harold and Tunnell bring experience from Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi.
- According to industry reports, a writers' room is expected to open "in the near future." Amazon MGM and the creative team declined to comment on the project's development timeline.
- Spanning over 30 years since the 1994 feature film, the Stargate franchise includes television series Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. The new series follows Amazon's $8.5B acquisition of MGM, positioning the studio to develop the iconic property.
