A new Stargate is opening. Amazon has greenlit a series based on the popular science fiction franchise, simply titled Stargate, that will stream on Prime Video. Martin Gero, a writer and producer who worked on all three live-action Stargate shows is the creator and showrunner.

The Stargate franchise began in 1994 in a film directed by Roland Emmerich, written by Dean Devlin and Emmerich. It is centered around alien wormholes called Stargates that can connect to other gates around the universe and are used to travel instantly across great distances. The first TV series, Stargate SG-1, began in ’97 and ran for 10 seasons through 2007. The Stargate Atlantis series began in 2004, followed by Stargate Universe in 2009. There have also been two other movies, an animated series, and a web series, as well as novels, comics, and video games.

“Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a story editor on Stargate: Atlantis. I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series. Stargate taught me everything about making television – it’s written into my DNA,” Gero said in a statement. “I’m beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase. For those who’ve kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith – this one’s for you. And for those that are new to our world, I promise you’re in for something extraordinary.”

Gero and Amazon have not shared any plot details, casting news, or a streaming date yet. Gero will also be an executive producer with Devlin, Emmerich, Joby Harold (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Tory Tunnell (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters). Consulting producers include Brad Wright (co-creator of the three earlier Stargate series) and Joe Mallozi (executive producer and writer on those three shows).

“Stargate is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity’s place in the cosmos,” Amazon MGM Studios head of US SVOD TV development Nick Pepper said. “In partnership with our extraordinary creative team of Martin, Tory, and Joby, we’re honored to open this next gate to bring a visionary new chapter of this beloved franchise to our global Prime Video audience, one that honors the series’ rich legacy while propelling it into an ambitious and emotionally resonant future.”
