"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 shared. "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."

"Stargate is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos," added Nick Pepper, Head of US SVOD TV Development, Amazon MGM Studios. "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."

Springboarding from the 1994 feature film, the franchise's universe would continue to grow over the course of 30 years to include television series Stargate SG-1 (1997-2007), Stargate Atlantis (2004-2009), and Stargate Universe (2009-2011). In addition, the franchise has found life in other media, including the animated Stargate Infinity (2002-2003), the web series Stargate Origins (2018), and more.
