Overview
- Variety and other outlets reported on October 9, 2026 that Jac Schaeffer is developing a new Stargate TV series under her overall deal with Amazon MGM and that a writers’ room is expected to open soon.
- Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures are attached as executive producers alongside Schaeffer, while Amazon and Schaeffer declined to comment to reporters.
- This is Amazon MGM’s second recent attempt to revive the franchise after a Martin Gero-led reboot that was greenlit in November 2025 was officially scrapped in mid‑2026.
- No plot, casting, or production timeline details have been released yet, and a writers’ room opening is an early development step that does not guarantee a series pickup.
- The move follows strong fan activism — including a petition of roughly 125,000 signatures and public rallies — and puts a creator known for making franchise stories accessible to new viewers at the center of Amazon’s next strategy.
