A new Stargate series is heading to Prime

Amazon MGM Studios announced today that it has officially greenlit Stargate, a new original series that begins a bold new chapter in the iconic science fiction franchise. The series will stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Originally launched with the 1994 feature film, the Stargate franchise has expanded over three decades to include multiple hit television series, fan-favorite characters, and a passionate global audience. Its blend of adventurous exploration, mythology, and grounded scientific concepts has made Stargate one of the most enduring brands in genre entertainment.

“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, Stargate taught me everything about making television — it’s written into my DNA,” said Martin Gero, creator, and executive producer. “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.”

“Stargate is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity’s place in the cosmos,” said Nick Pepper, Head of US SVOD TV Development, Amazon MGM Studios. “In partnership with our extraordinary creative team of Martin, Tory, and Joby, we’re honoured to open this next gate to bring a visionary new chapter of this beloved franchise to our global Prime Video audience, one that honours the series’ rich legacy while propelling it into an ambitious and emotionally resonant future.”

The series is written and executive produced by Martin Gero (Blindspot, Keep Breathing), who will serve as showrunner. Executive producers also include Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters); Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day); and Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Moonfall). Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, longtime creative leaders within the Stargate universe, will serve as consulting producers.
