Martin Gero's 'Stargate' Series Not Moving Forward At Amazon
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Amazon MGM Studios has canceled the Stargate reboot, which had received a series order from Prime Video in November 2025 and was in pre-production after completing a 20-week writers room.
- The cancellation stemmed from a misalignment between the new series’ creative direction and Amazon’s programming strategy, leading to an outright cancellation rather than retooling.
- Key executives who championed the project, Nick Pepper and Matt King, have left Amazon MGM Studios, and the series now falls under Brett Fetter, who joined the company in February and restructured the team.
- Stargate, a military sci-fi franchise originating from the 1994 film and expanded through multiple TV series, may be revisited in the future with a different showrunner offering a fresh perspective.
- Martin Gero, the reboot’s creator and veteran of previous Stargate series, will shift focus to developing new projects under his overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios.
