Earlier this week it was confirmed by Variety that Amazon had cancelled their Stargate reboot series before they even began the dial up process. Since then we have seen the reboot series producer and Stargate OG producer Joseph Mallozzi react to the cancellation. In additionally former Stargate SG1 star Michael Shanks has criticised the decision and urged Stargate fans to let Amazon know.
First, here is what Variety reported,
‘The new “Stargate” TV series has been axed at Amazon, Variety has learned exclusively.
The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025. It hailed from writer, executive producer, and showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on “Stargate SG-1” and “Stargate: Atlantis” early in his career.
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.’

Mallozzi’s response,
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…

“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.”
And Michael Shanks,
I’m gonna simply say this: if you are at all interested in a Stargate show with ANY of the original creators/performers involved, now is the time to say something. Otherwise it really will be the end of that chapter forever. Let them know you are THERE https://t.co/6nRr9SSTNf

Pretty clear message and rumor is a change of leadership at Amazon is what doomed the new series. As for campaigns, well Wheel of Time had a pretty decent ‘save us’ campaign and it fell on deaf ears. Not sure I can imagine Amazon changing their minds here.
As a fan of the original Stargate series, I’m disappointed, how do you feel about the cancellation of the Stargate reboot?
