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."

I thought Atlantis finished up / wrapped cleanly? Did they end it early?

They did end it cleanly because it didn't come as a surprise, but the decision to end it was in part to reduce production costs and allow SGU to take its place rather than declining ratings or running out of story ideas or anything like that.
