Welcome Back WormholeRiders Streaming Save Stargate Science Fiction Series Lovers,

Destined for their Prime Video streaming service, millions of Stargate fans worldwide rejoiced that their efforts over the past seventeen years since the last movie was released that supporting the franchise was more worth the wait.
Gateworld, the world leading Stargate fan site, has conducted a series of live program featuring Martin Gero, Joseph Mallozzi and Brad Wright to share the fabulous news with everyone. Martin Gero would be the Executive Producer showrunner. Gero was flanked by respected Stargate producer writers (Joe) Mallozzi, and Wright. Additionally, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who produced the original Stargate movie in 1994, joined the new series team as consulting producers!
Subsequently, the producers of the new series started their “Writers Room” in the Los Angeles area for series production that would be conducted in the United Kingdom. In early June 2026, Amazon MGM Studios shocked the entertainment world when they unexpectedly cancelled the new Stargate series after they hired new staff from a competitor who did not support the November 2025 decision to continue this superb science fiction series.
The news of the cancellation quickly spread. Fans protested in a new petition supporting Stargate on Change Dot Org that now exceeds 115,000 signatures. This effort has been dovetailed with social media campaigns primarily on X and Facebook requesting that Amazon MGM Studios reverse their decision and proceed with production of the new series. Recent rumors indicate that Amazon MGM Studios is in process of continuing the new series but this has not been confirmed either way and the clock is ticking!

Over the years, many smaller studios have been absorbed by these giants, leading to a market where few companies dominate film production and distribution.
