Amazon MGM Studios Reopens the Gate: New ‘Stargate’ Series Coming to Prime Video

LOS ANGELES – The Stargate is dialing up for a new adventure. Amazon MGM Studios has officially greenlit a new “Stargate” series for Prime Video, marking another significant step in leveraging the rich library of MGM properties acquired in 2022.

The series will be helmed by Martin Gero, best known as the creator of “Blindspot” and a veteran of the “Stargate” universe, having previously worked as a story editor on “Stargate: Atlantis,” as well as producer and writer on “Stargate Universe,” and “Stargate SG-1.” Gero will serve as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner.

“Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on Stargate: Atlantis,” said Gero in a statement. “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.”

The new series will join a growing list of MGM adaptations for Prime Video, including “Elle,” a “Legally Blonde” prequel starring Reese Witherspoon; “Tomb Raider,” starring Sophie Turner; and “Barbershop,” starring Jermaine Fowler.

Executive producers include Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures (“Obi-Wan Kenobi,” “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters”) as well as Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the duo behind the 1994 “Stargate” movie. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, longtime creative leaders within the “Stargate” TV universe, will serve as consulting producers, ensuring a connection to the franchise’s extensive history.

“‘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 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.”

The original “Stargate” film, released in 1994, launched a sprawling franchise that includes multiple television series, animated shows, and web series, becoming a cornerstone of the science fiction genre.

Gero concluded, “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.”

The premiere date for the new “Stargate” series is yet to be announced.
