Amazon Developing New 'Stargate' Series From 'WandaVision' Creator

· Entertainment · United States

A new 'Stargate' series is in development at Amazon MGM Studios, with 'WandaVision' creator Jac Schaeffer attached under her overall deal with the studio. Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell will executive produce alongside Schaeffer, and a writers room has opened in New York. The project marks another attempt to revive the long-dormant sci-fi franchise, which has spanned films and multiple television series. Amazon MGM Studios continues to lean on established genre properties to bolster its streaming pipeline, following its investment in the broader MGM catalog. If greenlit, the series would join a crowded field of franchise-driven science fiction competing for subscribers.

Why it matters：It shows streaming platforms betting on dormant franchise IP to drive subscriptions, a pattern that shapes which sci-fi properties get revived and how libraries are exploited.
