Amazon has officially greenlit a new Stargate series, which will be released exclusively via Prime Video.

In a press release today, Amazon described its fresh show as a "new original series" rather than a direct continuation of anything that has come before, in order to tell "a bold new chapter" of the dormant sci-fi franchise.

Casting and release details remain under wraps for now but, speaking to fans in an announcement video, the new series' creator Martin Gero reassured long-term Stargate followers that the project would definitely "not be a reboot."

Gero previously served as story editor on Stargate: Atlantis, alongside work on the franchise's other two series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Universe. Here, he will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Other executive producers will include Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell for Safehouse Pictures (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day), and Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Moonfall).

Long-term Stargate fans will also recognize Stargate SG-1's co-creator Brad Wright and executive producer Joe Mallozzi in the video above, who are working on the new series as consulting producers. "We're back, it's happening, it's going to be incredible," Gero teased.

"I'm beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase," Gero continued. "For those who've kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith — this one's for you. And for those that are new to our world — I promise you're in for something extraordinary."

Stargate originally kicked off with Roland Emmerich's 1994 sci-fi film of the same name, which established a core group of characters expanded upon by hit television spin-off SG-1. Across 10 seasons and several TV movies, SG-1 then spawned its own sister show, Atlantis, and latterly a more separate, darker take on the franchise, Stargate Universe.

Over the years, various novels, video games and a web series have expanded the franchise, though Stargate has lately fallen into something of a hiatus — until now.
