Overview
- Multiple outlets confirmed late Tuesday that Amazon MGM Studios has halted the Stargate series from Martin Gero and will not proceed to production.
- The project had advanced through an extended writers' room and weeks of pre-production in the U.K. before being scrapped.
- Reports say executives were concerned Gero’s version leaned toward serving legacy fans rather than attracting a substantially larger, mainstream audience.
- Industry coverage links the cancellation to a recent reshuffle at Amazon MGM Studios that removed earlier champions of the project and installed new leadership with different priorities.
- Amazon says it is exploring other ways to use the Stargate IP, while Gero remains under an overall deal and franchise creators and fans have publicly voiced disappointment.
