Shane and Brian Montgomery, also known as the Popcast Brothers, have been campaigning for a new Stargate series since 2019 and, after news that Martin Gero's revived series wouldn't be moving forward at Amazon, created a petition which now has more than 60,000 signatures.
"When Amazon bought MGM, we continued championing for Brad, but when it was announced that Martin would showrun a new series, since Martin was also part of original Stargate, we got 100% behind him as well.
"The petition is one of the only ways to visibly show Amazon how many fans there are that want Martin to make new Stargate so we hope we got a lot of signatures! The series should be saved because Stargate is one of the most successful science-fiction franchises of all time and frankly we want to see that universe grow and thrive."
"If Amazon didn't want to move forward with Stargate, we'd love to see them lease the property to another streamer that is interested in having Martin, Brad Wright or Joe Mallozzi create new Stargate."
Many fans, including Shane and Brian, have taken issue with that argument.
"It frankly doesn't make any sense to us. A new show would work great for a broad and modern audience. Take a look at Project Hail Mary. It was a worldwide phenomenon with younger audiences and it took place on the other side of our galaxy with an alien, but told with heart and humanity.
"Imagine what a new Stargate series could do? Imagine where the Stargate could take us and the new worlds we could explore. The world is hungry for more great science-fiction and fantasy!"
View Green Video on the source websiteWhile confirming news of the cancellation, Stargate executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, who was on board as a consulting producer for the new series, said on X that Gero had developed a new Stargate series over two years, "ultimately crafting a show that offered a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while deeply respecting existing canon".
He added: "We'll never get the opportunity to introduce you to that world and those characters – or reintroduce you to, and check in with, some familiar faces from the past. My heart breaks. For the incredibly talented writers who worked tirelessly to bring this show to life.
