The decision to pull the plug is made late in the process — I hear the show had completed a 20-week writers room and was in pre-production in the UK. It was explained with the new series' vision and creative direction, which allegedly no longer aligned with Amazon's programming strategy.
The differences apparently ran so deep, they required an outright cancellation vs. retooling the existing version of the project by giving notes to Gero, a veteran showrunner who had been signed into an overall deal by Amazon MGM Studios for the purpose of him spearheading Stargate.
Ironically, the new Stargate was greenlighted by Amazon MGM Studios Head of Television Peter Friedlander in one of his first pickup decisions after he joined the streamer in late September. But the series falls under the purview of one of Friedlander's top lieutenants, Brett Fetter, Head of Worldbuilding & Genre Series, who didn't start at Amazon until February.
The two executives who had developed Stargate with Gero and had championed it, Nick Pepper, formerly Head of US SVOD TV Development and Series – Wholly Owned, and Matt King, formerly Head of Tentpole, Genre and Universe Development, Wholly Owned, are both gone — with the former leaving when Fetter joined the company and the latter departing two months later when Fetter restructured his team.
Stargate was among the first MGM titles identified for series or film adaptations following Amazon’s $8.5B acquisition of the storied Hollywood studio in 2022. The studio may revisit the IP with another showrunner, possibly someone who does not have history with it and would give it a fresh new perspective, I hear.
Nakonec to dostane do rukou nějaký jouda a vznikne z toho tohle.
