There's a new gate opening, and fans are being led through by a familiar face.**

On Wednesday, Amazon MGM Studios announced that it has given the green light to an original new *Stargate *series led by Martin Gero. The former screenwriter and co-executive producer of *Stargate: Atlantis* is the creator and executive producer for the new series, which will stream exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

"Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a Story Editor on *Stargate: Atlantis*. I spent five years at the franchise working across all three series, *Stargate* taught me everything about making television — it's written into my DNA," Gero said in a statement.

Gero shared his gratitude to Amazon MGM Studios for having "entrusted" him with the task of "guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase."

"For those who've kept the gate active through conventions, rewatches, and unwavering faith — this one's for you," he added. "And for those that are new to our world — I promise you're in for something extraordinary."

The iconic science-fiction franchise first launched with the titular 1994 film, which led to multiple hit television series and a passionate global audience for over 30 years. Fans have praised the franchise for its blend of adventurous exploration, mythology, and grounded scientific concepts that have made *Stargate* one of the most enduring brands in genre entertainment.

Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, longtime creative leaders within the *Stargate* universe, will serve as consulting producers.

"*Stargate* is an enduring, iconic franchise that has captivated audiences for decades with its bold exploration of humanity's place in the cosmos," said Nick Pepper, head of US SVOD TV development at Amazon MGM Studios.
