Dust off your uniforms and get ready to dial home—Stargate is back, and it’s got a Prime new chapter in store! If you’ve kept the Stargate open in your heart all these years, or if you’re ready to step through for the first time, the stars have finally aligned.
A Legendary Sci-Fi Gate Swings Open Again
If you came of age in the late 1990s or early 2000s, it was nearly impossible to escape the gravitational pull of Stargate SG-1. After the success of the original film Stargate, released in 1994, the universe expanded to TV in 1997 and quickly became a staple of science fiction on the small screen. This wasn’t just any old show—it spawned a bonafide galactic saga.
Three spin-off series followed in its footsteps:
- Stargate Infinity (2002)
- Stargate Atlantis (2004)
- Stargate Universe (2009)
But for the last fifteen years, the Stargate had well and truly shut, leaving fans light years from any new adventures. Thankfully, that interstellar drought is about to end, all thanks to Prime Video.
The Announcement Fans Have Been Waiting For
On November 19, 2025, Amazon finally ended the rumors with an emotional video published on YouTube (for those who’ve conquered the cookie settings). The message: Stargate will return to our screens with an all-new, highly anticipated sequel.
Martin Gero, who previously contributed as a writer to Stargate Atlantis, is taking the lead on this fresh production. What will it be about? Who’s starring? Well, that’s still locked behind a classified iris for now. But the mysteries only add to the excitement—something all Stargate veterans know too well!
The Heartfelt Words of the New Showrunner
This time, Gero isn’t hiding how much Stargate means to him: “Stargate taught me everything about the world of television, it’s written in my DNA. I’m more than thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios trusted me to steer this incredible franchise into its new phase. For those who’ve kept the Stargate alive—through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith—this is for you. And for those stepping into our world for the first time, I promise you’re in for something extraordinary.”
It’s not every day you see a showrunner geeking out as hard as the fans, but Gero makes it clear: Stargate’s next journey is for the veterans, the newbies, and anyone who needs a little more wormhole in their week.
Big Names, Bigger Ambitions—and a True Continuation
The galaxy isn’t aligning by accident. On the production side, legendary Stargate figures will join the ride:
- Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the original creators of the Stargate film
- Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, the creative forces behind Stargate SG-1
One thing is certain: this won’t be a reboot. Instead, it’s regarded as “a brand new chapter, fully part of the Stargate story”. The new installment is being crafted to welcome long-time fans alongside new recruits eager for a fresh sci-fi world to dive into.
When it comes to the cast, storyline, or lead characters, fans will have to remain patient. These details remain top secret—maybe they’re buried deep in the SGC archives. But there’s one promise: the original creators have big ambitions for what’s possible this time around. Brad Wright puts it succinctly: “We’ll be able to do things we couldn’t in 1997, or even later. We’ll be able to do anything, or almost anything, with visual effects and whatever our imagination can conjure.”
Let’s just say—expect sights that would make the Goa’uld tremble.
Conclusion: The chevrons are locking again and—at last—the Gate is reopening. Whether you remember Jack O’Neill’s dry humor or you’re hopelessly trying to learn Ancient, Stargate’s new chapter is promising something extraordinary. Time to brush up on your naquadah knowledge and prep your offworld gear. The universe is calling—and this time, the journey looks more spectacular than ever.
