The military science fiction media franchise-based film ‘Stargate’ was released on October 28, 1994, and will be back with a new team of heroes.
According to Deadline, Amazon Studios has been examining carefully MGM’s library of films and series. Amazon Studios has been verifying many titles for film and/or TV development, which includes Stargate films.
Stargate was followed by two more films, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum. The TV series, Stargate SG-1 was one of the longest-running series in U.S. television history. The film follows an interstellar teleportation device that is found in Egypt which leads to humans resembling ancient Egyptians who used to worship the god Ra.
MGM’s wide variety of film & TV catalogs over so many years has been the main reason for earning an $8.5B acquisition for Amazon for the past year since now the deal closed in March 2022 various projects including Robocop, Stargate, Legally Blonde, Fame, Barbershop, The Magnificent Seven, Pink Panther, and The Thomas Crown Affair are ready to be a film and/or TV development.
There are not many details about the updates on the process but the 90s classic might be brought back to life in unexpected ways.

Update: Amazon’s New ‘Stargate’ Series Was Greenlit, Then Cancelled
Updated July 2026. The reboot finally happened — and then it didn’t. Amazon MGM Studios gave a straight-to-series order in November 2025 for a new live-action Stargate adaptation, written and executive produced by franchise veteran Martin Gero alongside Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, set to stream on Prime Video. The project moved into a 20-week writers’ room and had entered pre-production in the UK before Amazon reversed course in June 2026, cancelling the series over creative-direction concerns. Sources told Deadline that executives felt Gero’s take wouldn’t have broad enough appeal beyond the franchise’s existing fanbase. Amazon MGM reportedly may still revisit the IP with a different showrunner down the line, so the door isn’t fully closed on a Stargate return.
