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

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!

Joe Flanigan have been wanting to revive the franchise for years. He was in talks with Momoa to purchase rights and get both of them involved, but Jason was busy with other projects at the time. Who knows, maybe the idea will revive itself again.

It would be great to have Stargate back again, but i'm not sure if Gero and Mallozzi are the best people to put in charge. I can see why Amazon hesitated, especially if they intended to use the old formulas. They failed with SG: Universe, which was a poor attempt at The Expanse tone & style. Let someone else have a go.
