How else were they going to order another Rings of Power season.

Probably for the best. SG1 went on for 10 seasons. What more could they do in this universe?

I think the original pitch was the SG program gets disclosed on Earth, so you have to deal with political and societal ramifications of that and you'd have a new SG team doing stuff. It wouldn't delete the prior stuff, but would sort of provide a new angle because you'd have people unfamiliar with the SG program and it would let you introduce the audience to stuff, while longtime fans would recognize it and see continuation. I can see why that might not be super compelling to a wider audience, although the classic problem you run into is the longer you go on, the harder it is to make both audiences happy.

Like I'd absolute love for them to continue Farscape, but I also understand the show ended over 20 years ago, so doing a direct continuation straight up would be a very hard sell and you'd need something that could satisfy old fans and new fans, which would be quite hard to do.

Deadline added some additional context from its own reporting, suggesting that a change in the studio’s overall strategy following executive turnovers might be the reason behind the abrupt cancellation. Stargate was picked up under Amazon MGM Studios television head Peter Friedlander, with Nick Pepper and Matt King spearheading the revival project. Pepper and King have since left the studio, and “worldbuilding and genre series” now falls under another of Friedlander’s top lieutenants, Blair Fetter, who started in February.

Amazon MGM could revisit Stargate with another showrunner — possibly someone without history with the existing franchise who would “give it a fresh perspective,” according to Deadline

AKA don't expect to hear anything for a year or two minimum while different producers come up with a pitch Amazon might actually go for

This is disappointing, they don't want to make new IPs and yet they don't want to remake old IPs if they aren't super popular already. Pretty much a endless loop of the same stuff getting remade what a boring time for TV and movies.

I loved stargate, watched the movie and SG-1 a few times, watched atlantis and universe once each. Actually, I can't remember if I watched all of universe, that was the worse one if I remember right.

Sounds like the cancellation was caused by a regime change at Amazon.

I look forward to a reimagined reboot several years from now with trannies and gays running around and the evil aliens are all white men.
