CBR recommends watching Stargate Origins

CBR published a story on May 23 urging “Stargate” fans to revisit “Stargate Origins” before Amazon MGM Studios’ next live-action series arrives on Prime Video. The recommendation matters because the new show is no longer a rumor: Amazon MGM announced in November 2025 that franchise veteran Martin Gero would lead a new series for the streamer. CBR described “Origins” as “mandatory viewing” for viewers who want more of the franchise’s backstory before that follow-up. The outlet also said the upcoming series is expected in late 2027. ### Why is CBR pointing people to “Stargate Origins” now? CBR said in its May 23 article that “Stargate Origins,” a 10-episode prequel released in 2018, expands the franchise’s universe ahead of the new Prime Video series. The piece framed the show as useful preparation while fans wait for Amazon MGM’s next installment. The article tied that recommendation directly to Amazon MGM’s pending series, which CBR said would be a new live-action chapter for Prime Video. (cbr.com) CBR did not present a firm premiere date, but it said the show is expected sometime in late 2027. ### What exactly is “Stargate Origins”? IMDb lists “Stargate Origins” as a 2018 series centered on a young Catherine Langford, who sets out to uncover the mystery behind the Stargate. (cbr.com) The database says the show stars Ellie Gall, Aylam Orian, Philip Alexander and Shvan Aladdin. IMDb’s episode guide lists 10 installments for the 2018 run, matching CBR’s description of the project as a 10-episode revival or prequel. (cbr.com) A separate IMDb entry for “Stargate Origins: Catherine” identifies the material in feature-length form as well, reflecting how the project has also circulated as a compiled presentation. ### What has Amazon MGM actually announced about the new series? (imdb.com) Amazon MGM Studios said on Nov. 19, 2025 that it had greenlit a new live-action “Stargate” series for Prime Video. GateWorld, citing the studio’s announcement, reported that Martin Gero created the show and would serve as executive producer and showrunner, with Brad Wright and Joseph Mallozzi also attached as producers. (imdb.com) GateWorld reported that the new series would continue the franchise in the same universe and canon, rather than starting over from scratch. CBR’s later write-up described the project more broadly as a “bold new chapter,” while saying plot details remained under wraps. ### Has anyone said more about timing and production? GateWorld reported in January 2026 that the new series would film in London, which it described as the production headquarters for the project. (gateworld.net) In December 2025, the same outlet said Gero had indicated the writers’ room would begin after the turn of the year and that the show would take time to reach screens. (gateworld.net) CBR’s May article added the most specific public timing note in the available coverage, saying the Prime Video series is expected in late 2027. That remains an expectation rather than a dated release announcement from Amazon MGM in the sources reviewed here. ### So what should fans watch while they wait? Prime Video currently carries franchise titles including the 1994 “Stargate” film and “Stargate SG-1,” according to the service’s listings. (gateworld.net) CBR’s recommendation puts “Stargate Origins” into that catch-up path because of its focus on Catherine Langford and early franchise mythology. The next concrete milestone is the new Prime Video series led by Martin Gero, which CBR said is expected in late 2027. (cbr.com) Until Amazon MGM provides a release date, the most specific public updates remain the November 2025 greenlight, the London production plan reported in January 2026, and fan-facing details from GateWorld’s March 2026 Q&A coverage.
