In a word" "Wow."
Stargate fans continue to amaze. It's been two weeks since the show's cancellation was announced and they’re still as energized and active as ever, lighting up social media with their love for the franchise.
And I keep being asked: Will it make a difference? My answer is "Yes" and "Don't know"...
It reminds me of when Dark Matter was cancelled back in 2017 and the fan backlash was so intense that Syfy reportedly called an emergency meeting to discuss damage control. They considered making a public statement to quell the fan furor but, ultimately, elected to remain silent. And, eventually, the storm subsided.
Eventually.
But this time…this feels different. The Dark Matter fandom was small but organized and very angry. The Stargate fandom, on the other hand, is remarkably large, incredibly well organized, and - if the last two weeks are any indication - possibly even angrier.
I'm on the outside on this so I can't tell you what The Powers That Be are thinking but based on pure conjecture...
Have they noticed the fan response? Oh, safe to assume they have definitely noticed.
Have they been surprised by the scale and ferocity of the fan response? I'm going to assume yes. The fan pushback has been worldwide and intense.
Are they thinking "If we could harness this type of fan engagement to help launch a new show, it would be a huge asset!"? Again, given the sustained enthusiasm and global reach - I'm sure it has crossed their minds.
Are they thinking "Fandom passion can be a double-edged sword. I wonder if there have been examples of other genre shows whose performances have suffered due to intense fan response?" This one's a little trickier. The data scrapers and algorithms monitor vocal/negative sentiment, but how much weight executive leadership places on analogous data is always up for debate.
But will it all make a difference in the end? So far, yes, it has already made a difference, for many of the reasons outlined above.
So will it make a difference for the future of Stargate? I honestly don't know. From a marketing standpoint, this is a public relations coup waiting to happen. Acknowledge that the fans made a difference - and recognize that the excitement they've shown over the past two weeks won't stop at a relaunch. It will carry every episode. They've proven this series is theirs, and they won't let it fail. They will be the core of the new Stargate, a core that will only grow as they introduce the series to friends, family, and complete strangers, just as they have always done.
But that's just me. In the end, I'm just the guy who helps create the world, the words, the characters on the page. I'm the one who helps bring them to life with an amazing cast and crew so that you can visit with them and make them a part of your lives. I'm not the guy making the decisions.
One thing seems certain: the execs have taken notice. Now we'll see what they do with that knowledge.

Sadly, it's true. Amazon has elected not to move forward with the new Stargate series.
There's not much I can add beyond confirming what's happened. But I will say this...
Creator Martin Gero developed a new Stargate series over two years, ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon. It was a series that avoided the pitfalls of several modern remakes and reboots by fully embracing the core of its predecessors: action, adventure, exploration, wonder, heart, humor, and found family. And based on that creative vision, the new Stargate series was greenlit in November of 2025.
As of today, officially, that original vision is no more. We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters - or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past.
My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life. For Martin who maintained an unwavering positive outlook throughout despite the challenges, and who always strove to make a show that would honor the fans while welcoming a new audiences. And for the long-suffering Stargate fandom who waited so long and came so close to getting a show they truly would have loved.

Amazon green lit Stargate series with OG creators @martingero @BaronDestructo @bradtravelers
The team was set to start shooting in UK and Amazon cancelled the series and it was posted through a source via Variety that they want to possibly do the show without the OG creators so they can attract a "broader audience". There are also rumors that they might do a clean reboot and not a continuation - again not with OG creators involved. Fans are PISSED about this and we are letting @AmazonMGMStudio know what we think.
And today was the #savestargate fly over event. A crowd funded event by the fans! The main stream peaked at about 92K + viwers on YouTube.
Incredible turn out. I should also mention that Amazon has yet to technically address the cancellation or the fans themselves. We're all waiting for that.

@Nina7Infinity @martingero @BaronDestructo @bradtravelers Definitely not going to let a hard reboot of Stargate slide at this point. If they’re foolish enough to try to go down that path, it will be important to oppose such a project for as long as it exists.
