"Amazon's acquisition of MGM is slowly but surely spurring a small-screen renaissance, with the studio's forgotten IP poised to find a second life on Prime Video. Amazon has given the green light to a handful of shows based on erstwhile MGM properties, from Elle - a Legally Blonde prequel series - to a new Tomb Raider adventure. There's much more in the pipeline, too: Amazon recently dusted off another major (if somewhat forgotten) franchise,"
""I'm beyond thrilled that Amazon MGM Studios has entrusted me with guiding this incredible franchise into its next phase," said Gero in a statement. "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.""
Amazon's acquisition of MGM has triggered renewed development of the studio's dormant intellectual property for Prime Video, with multiple greenlit series including Elle, a Legally Blonde prequel, and a new Tomb Raider project. Amazon has revived the long-dormant Stargate franchise with a newly greenlit series titled Stargate, intended to launch a bold new chapter. Martin Gero will develop the series alongside original creators Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich. The franchise began with a 1994 Emmerich-directed film and expanded into television hits Stargate SG-1 (1997), Stargate Atlantis (2004), and Stargate Universe (2009). The revival aims to reintroduce Stargate to longtime fans and attract new audiences, positioning Prime Video to compete with major sci-fi franchises.
