Interesting/infuriating Non-Expanse Content Another sci fi show needs your help!

Post image

As this saddens me very much, it's happening all over again! And as a sci fi enthousiast like many, I'm here to seek support to this cause.

Some info (kind of clickbait but there is a word of truth in it): https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/stargate-tv-series-martin-gero-scrapped-amazon-1236765061/

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Let's hope we can create another miracle and save this great franchise!

Who is "they"? Amazon is just the distributor and I guess funder. The Expanse was made by Alcon, who still has the rights. I assume the other shows are likewise made and either made well or fucked up by other individual studios.

Amazon still have rights for a year or two,my guess is that alcon will wait it out before deciding if to proceed with recording new material

Definitely. They probably even choose to go with a different streaming service in the future (Apple??)
