In the age of streaming wars and big nostalgic comebacks, there might be room for a new Stargate series, especially now that Amazon controls its destiny.
Stargate has the benefit of being “much younger” than either of those giant IPs. It’s also historically not afraid of taking big swings and rewriting its canon. For example, SG-1 reworked key characters from Emmerich’s film and retconned big chunks of the pre-existing mythology as soon as it started. Moreover, Stargate’s T.V.
In fact, a new Stargate series could easily become “Game of Thrones in space” and entice viewers who know nothing about the universe. As SG-1 progressed, much of its screentime was devoted to the ongoing wars between different factions of Goa’uld and other highly developed species. Asgard? Yeah, that’s also a real thing in the Stargate universe, and Thor is your stereotypical short, gray alien.
It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that Amazon might order scripts for a new film, but evidence suggests they’d rather focus on streaming and longform storytelling with big IPs right now. Could a new Stargate series be a fresh reboot instead of a semi-disconnected new chapter in order to achieve full creative freedom? Yes, we can see that happening as well. For now, we recommend you watch the original film and check out SG-1, both of which are available to stream on Netflix.
