Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit a new series based on the popular sci-fi franchise Stargate, giving it a home on Prime Video. The show will be created by and executive produced by veteran showrunner Martin Gero, who is also familiar with the franchise as a creator of NBC’s Blindspot.
The new series comes after Amazon acquired MGM Studios in 2022 for $8.5 billion. This marks one of the first major greenlights since Peter Friedlander took over as Head of Global TV for Amazon MGM Studios at the end of September. The show is set to be an ambitious and emotionally resonant chapter in the franchise’s history, honoring its rich legacy while pushing it into a new direction.
Gero’s involvement is significant, given his extensive experience with Stargate, having worked on various series within the franchise for over 17 years. His team includes other notable creatives, such as Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell, who have worked on Obi-Wan Kenobi and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
The new series is expected to explore the Stargate universe in a way that will captivate both old fans and newcomers alike. With Gero at the helm, it’s likely that the show will stay true to its roots while also introducing new characters and storylines.
This move marks a significant step forward for Amazon’s efforts to revive classic franchises like Stargate. While there have been concerns about some of these revivals not making sense, this one seems like a no-brainer given Gero’s passion for the franchise and his team’s experience.
