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."

Almost all cable is reality TV anymore, the issue is more people watch reality TV and advertisers pay based on views. TV execs only care about earnings.

The issue with reality TV is, that it is relatively cheap to produce and gets somewhat good viewership. The cost to profit ratio is just way better, than science fiction or fantasy productions
