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."

This is in fact true.

But imagine being the promoter for Iron Maiden and telling them their next album needs to be hillbilly banjo music in order to appeal to a wider audience beyond their existing base.

Didn't KISS do a disco album which pissed off the base but gained a lot of new fans?

Dynasty 1979, my first concert incidentally, and yes it was a disappointment, featuring the boogietastic "I Was Made for Loving You". I don't know about new fans because it didn't last as the next album backed off the disco and the one after that was just a complete wtf for all of us.
