Cult classic sci-fi franchise Stargate is returning with a new series from Amazon Prime, with a new showrunner, Martin Gero, who has ties to the all three original Stargate shows (via Variety).

Stargate has managed to hold onto a fairly sizable cult following in the years since the franchise last bowed. Launching with a modestly successful 1994 film before spinning off into a TV series titled Stargate: SG-1 which ran from 1997-2007. This ran alongside Stargate: Atlantis, which aired 100 episodes between 2004-2009, and finally Stargate Universe which ran for just two seasons from 2009-2011.

"Twenty years ago, my first real job in television was as a story editor on Stargate: Atlantis. 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 said. "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."
