I just want Jeff bezos to save Stargate like he saved the expanse. I can only hope that Amazon will protect The Stargate franchise from coming to the same fate as Star wars and Star trek.

The Expanse was cancelled and then saved by Amazon within a year, Stargate has essentially been a dead property for 10 years.
Stargate is actually on the brink of returning. And that's super exciting. Amazon may give it that extra disposable money push needed.

Some newer developments you may have missed:

* Stargate Origins aired in 2018 [1]

* Brad Wright/Joseph Mallozzi are actively working to get a new project off the ground [2] and are looking to tap original cast members (to bootstrap)

* A new Stargate 4X strategy game was just announced [3]

There is a difference between saving a show and saving a franchise.

The Star Trek movies saved the franchise which lead to TNG, DS9 and Voyager, they didn’t save the original series tho.

I only hope is that they won’t turn Stargate into Discovery like show.

"waaaaaaaaaa"

If they do make a new series, I think I care more about Walter getting a cameo than literally anyone else from the original show
Stargate Origins came out in 2018
Stargate is amazing. 17 seasons across 3 series (not counting origins), several tv movies, a few books... etc.

It started off cheesy, but the universe they built was so detailed and neat.

I'm definitely hoping Amazon buys them out and greenlights Stargate.
