And now, a bold new chapter in the iconic universe is headed to [Prime Video](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/what-you-need-to-know-about-prime-video) after [Amazon MGM Studios](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/tag/mgm) officially greenlit *Stargate*.

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 says. "I'm beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with 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. And for those that are new to our world—I promise you're in for something extraordinary.” Here’s everything you need to know about the *Stargate* universe, including how to watch the different movies and series on Prime Video. ## Who is the creative team behind the new ‘Stargate’ series? ![Stargate showrunner Martin Gero.](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/fe5392a/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1125+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F18%2Fe7%2F1eaa5f464d8d8ca89c100fd03108%2Faa-stargate-martin-gero-pc-maarten-de-boer.jpg) Gero is joined by executive producers Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell of Safehouse Pictures (*Obi-Wan Kenob*i, *Monarch: Legacy of Monsters*), Dean Devlin (*Stargate*, *Independence Day*), and Roland Emmerich (*Stargate*, *Moonfall*). Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi, longtime creative leaders within the *Stargate* universe, will serve as consulting producers. Production details and additional casting will be announced at a later date. ## What is the premise of the ‘Stargate’ franchise? The premise is brilliantly simple yet infinitely expandable: ancient alien devices called “Stargates” create wormholes between planets, allowing near-instantaneous travel across the galaxy. When humans discover how to operate these mysterious portals, they form specialized military teams to explore thousands of worlds, encountering both wonders and dangers among the stars. What sets *Stargate* apart from other sci-fi franchises is its unique blend of military action, ancient mythology, and modern science. The series reimagines gods from Earth’s ancient civilizations as technologically advanced aliens who once visited our planet and shaped human development. This clever premise allows the franchise to explore Egyptian, Norse, Celtic, and other mythologies through a sci-fi lens, creating a rich universe where advanced technology appears indistinguishable from magic. ![The summer i turned pretty the movie premiere](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/b7e90ad/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6966x4644+645+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Ffd%2F4b%2Fd10f683c40b38233ee61c8b1a69f%2Fanthonyghnassia-452.jpg) - [‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ movie—here’s everything to know](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/entertainment/summer-i-turned-pretty-movie-prime-video) ## How to watch the ‘Stargate’ franchise on Prime Video ### ‘Stargate’ (1994) Director Roland Emmerich co-wrote the screenplay with Dean Devlin for the original film, which centers on Stargate, an ancient ring-shaped device that creates a wormhole, enabling travel to a similar device elsewhere in the universe. **Cast**: Kurt Russell, Jaes Spader, Jaye Davidson, Alexis Cruz, Mili Avital, Viveca Lindfors, and more [Watch *Stargate* on Prime Video](https://www.amazon.com/Stargate-Kurt-Russell/dp/B000JCSPG0) ### ‘Stargate SG-1’ (1997–2007) ![Photo from the TV series Stargate SG1](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/0d29e03/2147483647/strip/true/crop/2000x1125+0+0/resize/767x431!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2Fb8%2F32%2F84738596400a8d72eed04efc44d6%2Faa-stargate-sg1-inline.jpg) Nominated for multiple Emmy Awards, the 10-season series was created by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner.
