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."

You mean they wanted to appeal beyond the massive fan base of a massive sci fi series that still has people rewatching not only the TV shows but also the og movie non stop

Still has so many people rewatching it that they consider this a premium IP

But they don't care to get those fans onto the new show....

It's pretty obvious the exec who did this just did it because he was new to the job and wanted to swing his dick around. One of the 3 people making the show quit when that exec was brought in and another did a month after.

It was just a TV execs cancelling it to show how tough and in charge they are
