Get ready for an epic journey through time and space with the upcoming Stargate series! The iconic franchise is back, and this time, it's on Prime Video.
Amazon MGM Studios has given the green light to a brand-new adaptation of Stargate, and it's set to be a game-changer. But here's where it gets controversial... the series is written and executive produced by none other than Stargate veteran Martin Gero. Yes, you heard that right! Gero, who has worked on various Stargate projects, is now taking the reins to guide this beloved franchise into a bold new phase.
In his own words, Gero says, "Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a story editor on Stargate: Atlantis. I spent five years at the franchise, and it taught me everything about making television. It's written into my DNA." He goes on to express his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to lead this project.
So, what can we expect from this new Stargate series? Well, prepare for an extraordinary adventure! Gero promises that it will be a thrilling ride for both long-time fans and newcomers alike. And with a creative team that includes Joby Harold, Tory Tunnell, Dean Devlin, and Roland Emmerich, we're in for a treat.
But what's the premise of this sci-fi masterpiece? The concept is brilliantly simple yet endlessly expandable. Ancient alien devices called "Stargates" create wormholes, allowing near-instant travel across the galaxy. When humans unlock the secrets of these portals, they embark on an exploration of thousands of worlds, encountering both wonders and dangers. What sets Stargate apart is its unique blend of military action, ancient mythology, and modern science. It reimagines Earth's ancient gods as technologically advanced aliens, shaping a rich and magical universe.
