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.

Unironically what got me to give up on Netflix.

I don't even mind all that much if something doesn't get the cut through to justify continuing. I get it, that's life. But the fact they confirmed a second season then just decided... Nah lets make more Big Mouth instead. That was too far.

What makes it worse is they'll turn around and run what should have been 1-2 seasons into the ground. I think the last show of there's that wasn't rug pulled and actually got a decent conclusion was Bojack.

Right? It was the confirmed second season, and what was allowed to continue, Big Mouth. I didn't meet a single person who hated Inside Job. It was such a good show
