Stargate : Amazon annonce une nouvelle série avec le créateur de Blindspot
Amazon Prime Video s’apprête à ouvrir une nouvelle porte sur l’univers de Stargate. La plateforme de streaming développe une série inédite portée par Martin Gero, vétéran de la franchise et créateur de Blindspot. Les détails sur l’intrigue restent pour l’instant confidentiels, mais l’attente est déjà palpable parmi les fans de science-fiction.
Un retour attendu pour la franchise Stargate
Martin Gero, le vétéran aux commandes
Martin Gero connaît parfaitement l’univers de Stargate. Son premier véritable poste à la télévision remonte à vingt ans, lorsqu’il était éditeur de scénarios sur Stargate: Atlantis. Depuis, il a travaillé sur les trois séries télévisées de la franchise et a acquis une connaissance intime de ses codes et de son fonctionnement. Pour ce nouveau projet, Gero occupera les rôles de scénariste, producteur exécutif et showrunner, garantissant une continuité créative fidèle à l’esprit original.
Une équipe de production prestigieuse
Aux côtés de Gero, plusieurs producteurs renommés participent au projet : Joby Harold et Tory Tunnell pour Safehouse Pictures, ainsi que Dean Devlin et Roland Emmerich, qui ont co-écrit le film original de 1994. Brad Wright et Joe Mallozzi, figures clés de la franchise télévisée, seront producteurs consultants. Cette équipe promet un équilibre entre innovation narrative et respect de l’héritage de Stargate.
Un héritage culte à revisiter
Des débuts au cinéma
La franchise Stargate a vu le jour en 1994 avec un film réalisé par Roland Emmerich, mettant en scène Kurt Russell et James Spader. Le récit introduisait une mystérieuse porte des étoiles permettant de voyager instantanément à travers l’univers grâce à des trous de ver. Le succès du long métrage a ouvert la voie à la série Stargate SG-1, diffusée pendant dix saisons et portée par Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping et Christopher Judge.
Les séries télévisées dérivées
Après SG-1, les spin-offs Stargate Atlantis (2004-2008) et Stargate Universe ont prolongé l’exploration de la franchise. Deux films directement en vidéo et la série Stargate Origins en 2018 ont également enrichi cet univers. Chaque nouvelle production a contribué à maintenir l’intérêt des fans pour cette saga iconique, explorant de manière originale la place de l’humanité dans le cosmos.
Une série prometteuse sur Amazon Prime Video
Un projet encore mystérieux
Amazon MGM Studios conserve pour l’instant les détails de l’intrigue sous embargo. Cependant, le studio assure que la nouvelle série honorera l’héritage de Stargate tout en proposant un récit ambitieux et émotionnellement puissant. Nick Pepper, responsable du développement des séries SVOD aux États-Unis pour Amazon MGM Studios, souligne que ce projet vise à séduire à la fois les fans historiques et un public nouveau.
Gero entre tradition et modernité
Pour Martin Gero, cette série représente un retour aux sources, mais également une chance de renouveler la franchise. « Ceux qui ont maintenu la porte ouverte à travers les conventions, les re-visionnages et leur foi inébranlable : cette série est pour vous. Et pour ceux qui découvrent notre univers, je promets quelque chose d’extraordinaire », a déclaré Gero. L’ambition est claire : mêler l’esprit classique de Stargate à une narration contemporaine.
Un parcours riche pour Martin Gero
De Stargate à Blindspot
En dehors de Stargate, Martin Gero s’est illustré comme créateur de la série à succès Blindspot diffusée sur NBC pendant cinq saisons. Il a également été showrunner du reboot de Quantum Leap et a produit la série Kung Fu pour The CW ainsi que le drama limité Keep Breathing. Son expérience variée dans la création et la production télévisée le positionne idéalement pour piloter ce nouveau chapitre de Stargate.
Une ambition pour le futur
Avec cette série, Amazon Prime Video espère prolonger la vie d’une franchise légendaire tout en explorant de nouvelles perspectives narratives et visuelles. L’implication de Gero, combinée à l’expérience de producteurs et consultants vétérans, laisse entrevoir une série capable de séduire tant les puristes de Stargate que les nouveaux spectateurs friands de science-fiction ambitieuse.
Amazon Prime Video relance la franchise Stargate avec une nouvelle série prometteuse confiée à Martin Gero. Les fans peuvent espérer une production mêlant respect de l’héritage et innovations créatives. La date exacte de diffusion reste à confirmer, mais l’univers des portes des étoiles s’apprête à s’ouvrir à nouveau sur un public mondial.

'Stargate' TV Series Ordered By Amazon From Martin Gero
Gero will serve as creator, writer, executive producer and showrunner of Stargate. Executive producers also include Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters) as well as Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the duo behind the 1994 Stargate movie. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, longtime creative leaders within the Stargate TV universe, will serve as consulting producers.
Gero created and served as executive producer on Blindspot, which aired for five seasons on NBC. He most recently served as executive producer and showrunner on both seasons of Quantum Leap, also for NBC. His other series credits include Kung Fu, Dark Matter and Bored To Death. In addition to Stargate: Atlantis he served as writer-producer on Stargate Universe and Stargate SG-1. Gero is repped by TFC Management and Ziffren Brittenham.
It's about damn time!
Oh, hoped but didn't expect this: New Stargate show coming on Prime Video! Not a reboot! Immediate questions: How is our beloved SG1 doing? Did Atlantis return to Pegasus? Will we see what happened to Destiny and Eli?

Amazon Greenlights A New Stargate Series
Veteran Stargate writer and producer Martin Gero created the show and will helm it as executive producer and showrunner. Fellow Stargate alums Brad Wright and Joseph Mallozzi are also on board as producers. The new series will continue the franchise with the same universe, canon, and tone that made Stargate a global hit.

Hey, if Brad's on board, I'm there.
Except Amazon 😭
Welp, I guess I just have to hope that they publish DVDs....
Edit: I mean, I didn't hip to the #Stargate or #StargateAtlantis until after it came out on DVD, so 🤷 (Got spoiled by getting #SGU in realtime, though.)
Stargate Atlantis is technically the second spin-off of Stargate SG-1 (read the Rewatch review here). Stargate Infinity came first, but it’s not great and largely no longer considered canon, so I like to think of Atlantis as the first true spin-off.
The show premiered in 2004 during the 8th season of SG-1, so a lot of the universe’s ground work was already laid. They’re able to focus exclusively on the new worlds, technology, and cultures of the Pegasus Galaxy without getting bogged down with explaining previous Stargate lore. The show initially followed the team of Joe Flanigan as Lieutenant Colonel John Sheppard, David Hewlett as Doctor Rodney McKay, Rainbow Sun Francks as Lieutenant Aiden Ford, and Rachel Luttrell as local recruit Teyla Emmagan, all under the leadership of Torri Higginson as Doctor Elizabeth Weir. The series begins with the discovery of Atlantis in the far-away Pegasus Galaxy, and we very quickly and accidentally awaken the Wraith, the primary villain of the series, who literally feed on the humans. It’s time for our heroes to quickly get to work both exploring the galaxy and stopping the enemy they inspired, which when you put it that way, sounds a lot like SG-1, and that’s a very good thing here.

Like SG-1, the cast is great. Also like SG-1, there were some notable cast changes during the entire 5-season run. In season 2, Francks’s character is essentially replaced by Jason Momoa as Ronon Dex (though you may know him as Aquaman these days), and in season 4, Higginson’s character is essentially replaced by Amanda Tapping as Colonel Samantha Carter (who transitioned over from SG-1 when the series ended).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvZWUVycfKI
And finally, in season 5, Tapping left the show and was replaced by Robert Picardo as Richard Woolsey. You may remember him as The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager, and speaking of doctors, Jewel Staite as Doctor Jennifer Keller was upgraded to the main cast this season.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0K2bRdtGlg
Compared to SG-1, the villains don’t feel as developed. You’ve got the Wraith, they’re basically vampires who routinely conquer the galaxy by feeding on most of the humans, slumber for decades, and do it all over again. They’re bad because that’s bad. They aren’t pretending to be a variety of established gods from our past, like the Goa’uld, they just feed on humans and we obviously don’t like that. You’ve got your re-imagined Replicators, in which they actually have a more believable origin story, but not much else. You’ve got your evil Asgard, who only show up for two episodes. And, finally, you’ve got your variety box of bad humans doing bad things.
Despite those shortcomings though, there are some fascinating individual villains, in particular Christopher Heyerdahl as Todd the Wraith, who forms an often tenuous alliance with Atlantis when the Wraith hives start fighting each other over their food supply. Wraith fighting Wraith is definitely advantageous for both sides, but they always know where they really stand with each other, and Todd has a solid wit when it comes to calling our heroes’ bluffs. Every episode with Todd guarantees plenty of delightful dialogue sparring. And it’s always fun when Robert Davi shows up as Commander Acastus Kolya, a mostly one-note character, but one who is played with a captivating singular conviction.
As I mentioned earlier, the cast is great, but a few really stand out. Hewlett really shines as McKay, and has the most character growth throwout the series, along with some impressive solo episodes. He grows from a cowardly, selfish, know-it-all scientist; to a cowardly, selfish, know-it-all scientist who is happy to return fire with the enemy and take charge of rescuing his team. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but if you were to watch the first and last episodes back to back, it’s quite a range given how Hewlett handles the character. Picardo shines if only for one brief season as Woolsey. He started in SG-1 as a paper-pushing policy-enforcing overseer, but once he’s actually put in charge of Atlantis, he begins to learn that policies don’t have all the answers. His growth is similarly subtle, but Picardo again puts some impressive range into it. And last, but not least, David Nykl as Radek Zelenka. Zelenka is often paired with McKay as his top subordinate, perhaps equal, perhaps even his better. He’s not part of the main cast, but he almost always manages to save the day when he’s around, and he presents a delightfully humble balance to McKay.
Stargate Atlantis ran for 5 seasons, and though it was canceled before it could be given the ending its creators intended, the ending it did receive wasn’t a cliffhanger and offered a lot of closure. Stargate Universe (read the Rewatch review here) followed in 2009 as the final spin-off of SG-1, and I’ll get around to reviewing it as soon as I’m done rewatching it. You can stream Stargate Atlantis on Prime Video or buy the complete series on iTunes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Are you ready to step back through the gate?

....actually can I treat the whole MCU as a tv series? 😂
Im on hols for a week - huge to do list including finishing an assignment - however as Queen of Procrastinators I am currently watching #StargateAtlantis
@confracto because they rather #gamble on the next #Bond movie rather than working on getting their #distribution and #production going...
- And it wasn't like folks weren't interested in making it continue.
Allegedly Joe Flanaghan himself offered to cough up substantial amounts to allow continuation of #StargateAtlantis since it obviously made good profit.
- Obviously it's not like with #Movies where one has big box office, then a year later physical, streaming and (Pay-)TV reruns that make resitutional payments go, but #Series productions do accrew longer time and more mixed revenues with #TV, #streaming and physical disc sales delivering constant revenue for 2-5+ years post-production.
And whilst original production costs were high amidst expensive spechal effects and CGI, the economies of scale and subsequent cost reductions in many parts made it more feasible, less costly (after all the expensive parts were built and bought once and reused as much as possible) and more streamlined as crews have done their workflows and co-optimized each other.
- Not to mention that whilst a physical set is big, bulky and expensive, once setup it's relatively cheap to run and has all the things in place...
Noone's gonna complain that they use greenscreen & green lametta for the activated Stargate surface, or that the #Moviecaps (basically gas/signal cartridges without projectiles but some mnor metal powder to provide muzzle flashes and cycle the firearm) don't have the exact recoil impulse or original cyclic rate and that they've to superimpose the real gun sounds for hearing safety...
- And with Amazon owning MGM the problem isn't money - in fact if Bezos wanted he could easily invest record amounts in it and not even get side-eyed for it in terms of % it takes...
