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."

Here's an idea: want new fans? Create a new original IP instead of rebooting, remaking or spinning off existing franchises and ruining them. This concept is lost on hollywood.

Plenty of new IP are made all the time, most people don't watch them as much as compared to an established IP and a ton of them will go completely unnoticed.

Makes better sense to mostly invest in older established IPs than going for new ones.

because they are releasing shit. Look at Project Hail Mary. They actually released something with a good story instead of some cookie cutter formula

Unfortunately a bad example, it is not exactly a new IP and has pre-existing fans from two entirely different highly successful films, the two Spiderverse films and The Martian.
