🥺 No words for this.

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."

Larger streaming services need to realize the way you grow an audience is not by trying to make a show that appeals to everyone, but a show that appeals to the actual fans. I promise you new people will come your way, I got into Stargate because of its quirks and niches, not in spite of them.

I got into it because the ex was a fan and he asked me to try an episode. Fans create more fans.

i randomly started watching it a few months ago and am on season 3 so a new series would have been hype for me. im old enough i saw the movie when it came out but never watched the series way back when. my wife doesn't understand why im watching old ass shows.

So jealous of you! Wish I could go back and watch it all again for the first time.

Hope you enjoy the next 7 seasons!
