Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit a new Stargate TV series, marking the franchise's return to live-action television after over a decade. The project, led by veteran writer Martin Gero, aims to honor the sci-fi legacy while attracting new fans. It will stream exclusively on Prime Video, with production underway.
Announcement Details
Prime Video announced the new Stargate series on November 20, 2025, reviving the iconic sci-fi franchise that began with the 1994 film and expanded through TV shows like Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007), Stargate Atlantis (2004-2009), and Stargate Universe (2009-2011). The series ended its small-screen run in 2011, making this the first live-action project in 14 years. Described as a 'brand new chapter' rather than a reboot, it will serve as an entry point for newcomers while respecting the established lore.
Martin Gero, who started his career as a story editor on Stargate: Atlantis and contributed to all three live-action series, is the creator, showrunner, and executive producer. He expressed enthusiasm in a statement: “Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on Stargate: Atlantis. I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series... I’m beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase. For those who’ve kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith — this one’s for you. And for those that are new to our world — I promise you’re in for something extraordinary.”
Creative Team
Gero is joined by executive producers Joby Harold (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Tory Tunnell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), and original film co-creators Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich. Stargate TV veterans Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi serve as consulting producers. Nick Pepper, Head of US SVOD TV Development at Amazon MGM Studios, commented: “Stargate is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity’s place in the cosmos. In partnership with our extraordinary creative team of Martin, Tory, and Joby, we’re honored to open this next gate to bring a visionary new chapter of this beloved franchise to our global Prime Video audience, one that honors the series’ rich legacy while propelling it into an ambitious and emotionally resonant future.”
Production and Release
The series appears in Production Weekly listings, indicating production has begun. No premiere date or plot specifics have been revealed, but estimates suggest a possible debut in late 2026 or 2027. Casting details remain under wraps, though the team's involvement hints at potential nods to classic characters. The project blends military action, ancient mythology, and advanced extraterrestrial themes central to the franchise.
