I don't think I would have agreed with that statement... 10 years ago? I mean, give Tarantino the green light on something and let him run amuck. Christopher Nolan could have been given the same carte blanche. But today, it sucks to have to agree. You just can't trust anyone anymore.
But it does sound like this time they deserved that carte blanche. The fact that sissy, leftist execs didn't like what they wrote tells me it probably would have been exactly what fans wanted.

It just proves that current TV execs are fucking retarded or that it isn't about money.
Who do they think made the franchise popular enough to become considered a lucrative franchise in the first place? If that audience isn't enough to make money, then you are a shitty executive and don't understand how to be successful.

Hmm, just based on Shanks tweets it sounds like he + some of the original cast were coming back and potentially in a regular role.
Sad.
Oh well I’m sure this new executive will come out with some amazing original banger IPs that puts his name on the map. Wouldn’t doubt it if my life depended on it. I bet he made his bones with all original IPs and creative ideas in a largely stagnant movie and TV industry.…

Hey now,
The Queens Gambit is actually a well done mini-series. Stranger Things was fine until the last season.

With the exception of 3 none of them are original IPs and of the 3 one was canceled abruptly at season 2 and Ozark was one of the first Netflix shows.
This executive doesn’t continue established IPs and its rare for him to invest into new ones. He takes low hanging fruit of already established IPs such as popular books and helps turn them into movies and TV shows. That’s what he’s known for. Nothing wrong with that.
Stargate is well out of his purview and based on his history and what he does, it won’t be something he invests in at all while he is in charge there. Petition all you want and believe his excuse that he would rather reboot it from the beginning, but he has no intention of touching this IP with a 10 foot pole.
It’s dead dead.

Unfortunately that isn't the case. Netflix wins because they supply the most content by far. It doesn't matter that the vast majority of what Netflix produces is complete garbage.

Yep. The campaign got KFC to put up like $20m to make it happen. I guess their president or something really liked Farscape, and that's why there were "brought to you by KFC" ads during all of the commercial breaks.

Trying to think of other success stories
I think Subway helped save the show 'Chuck' - they were putting full blown Subway ads in the show. I remember that is how I found out Subway sells breakfast sandwiches lol
Amazon saving The Expanse after a big fan push also comes to mind after Syfy canceled it.
Although those were shows only recently canceled - this isn't so much a show but an IP that has been off the air for over a decade at this point.

Not to go too off-topic, but I wonder sometimes if Amazon will bring back The Expanse in a few years with the actors older to do the post time-skip final books. Ending the show after the Marco arc wasn't particularly satisfying.

Even with SG-1 being off the air for around 20 years now, it's still considered a very formidable mid-tier series on the platforms that stream it (although it doesn't feel impressive as it's around #250 all time on most lists of streamed series/content/movies). With that said Netflix's most recent big bump in viewership was attributed partially to them adding SG-1 to their library for European viewers.
But yeah, the problem is the streaming services know they already have the traditional fans, and still get a moderately steady inflow of new viewers looking for SciFi series to watch. So unless a new series with the IP can find a way to increase that "viewers new to the IP/Franchise" number there's no compelling reason to make it other than it becoming someone's passion project.
