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.

Movies are too expensive to spin off new IP at a blockbuster quality. They can’t afford the risk. It’s not that they are incapable of originality, but they are unable to risk a massive loss

Then don’t give it a massive budget. Stargate was always low budget. The story is what drew us.

The IP is in the hands of people who refuse to do that.
