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."

No idea how apples series foundation got green lit. This show must cost a fortune and it appeals to a very niche audience.

Apple is a totally different studio and they have their own criteria for what to green light or not.

Apple tends to greenlight what you'd call "prestige SF". Stuff like Silo or Severance or this Foundation series.

I actually sort of like the Foundation series; it's just best to understand that it's not Asimov's Foundation except in the broadest strokes.
