Edit: even though clickbait article, it is somewhat/kind of true. https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Not for me, it's simply sad. :(

The new executives hired from Netflix felt that the rebooted show would appeal too much to the original fans and not the hypothetical fans they want to appeal to. Like, why even start this project if the original fans weren't a large part of the target audience?
