Amazon kills plans for Stargate series reboot

Article excerpt

Amazon has cancelled its Stargate series reboot, which the company had greenlit just last year. The decision marks another addition to the growing list of streaming projects that studios are quietly shelving or abandoning amid shifting market conditions and budget constraints. Stargate, the long-running sci-fi franchise that spawned multiple TV shows and films since 1994, was expected to bring the property back to television under Amazon's banner. The cancellation reflects ongoing challenges facing streamers as they reassess expensive development deals and prioritize projects with clearer paths to audience success.
