Stargate Origins

This is the first I have heard of it and I am absolutely hyped at the thought of a new Stargate series. I absolutely loved SG1 and Atlantis and have watched them over and over again and I am thrilled they are making another series. It will be sooooo good having proper scifi series to watch again. It has been years since we had Star Trek and Stargate on tv at the same time and we will also have The Expanse to compliment it and I am sure a few others.

The era of space scifi is back!

Stargate fans are in for a treat. Deadline reports MGM is reviving the popular franchise with a new digital TV show and streaming platform.

The new series, titled Stargate Origins, is the latest installment in the long-running sci-fi franchise, which centers on the ability to travel anywhere in the universe in an instant. The upcoming show will “explore a brand new chapter in Catherine Langford’s early history surrounding the extraordinary portal.” Langford first appeared in the 1994 film Stargate and was played by Viveca Lindfors.
Stargate Origins will be available to stream exclusively on MGM’s upcoming SVOD platform Stargate Command. The 10-episodes series is slated to launch later this year.

Re: Stargate Origins

Should be interesting - however, do you realise each one is only 10 minutes long ?

Re: Stargate Origins

where did you find that out?

Re: Stargate Origins

Well you can find it all over the internet if you search, here is one example ;

The new series, which will feature 10-minute episodes, will follow fan-favorite character Catherine Langford (originally played by Elizabeth Hoffman) and explore a new chapter in her early history surrounding the portal. Young Catherine embarks on a new unexpected adventure to unlock the mystery of what lies beyond the Stargate in order to save the Earth from darkness. (Watch the teaser trailer, below.)

Put them all together and you have a 1 hour 40 min movie.

(Probably a bit less due to overlap etc).

Re: Stargate Origins

arse, I thought you was winding me up. I googled it and looked at the first five links and they said nothing of episode length.

Re: Stargate Origins

Gutted they are only 10 mins each but still so glad to have a new Stargate show to watch. Universe was good but it was not loved by most.

Still remember watching the original in the cinema all those years ago and loved it immensely. Then when SG-1 started I was over the moon.

me too, I can remember being in awe at the pilot because they had the same Jaffa suits and jackal helmets and the same Stargate with the water effect. I was expecting a cheap knock off but at the time I was thinking it is just as good as the movie and a perfect continuation. SG1 is still one of my favourite series of all time because it blended story, characters, action and humour perfectly together and serves as a perfect example of how you can make a 10 season 20 eps/season series and still be good.

Re: Stargate Origins

Looks promising.

Lot of production for just a few short episodes though.

It's roughly equivalent to a 1 hour 40 minute movie (10 10 minute episodes), although it's probably less than that once you count titles and credits.

which means fantastic quality and it will be realistic and in keeping with the Stargate universe as we know it. I hope it is a huge success and encourages MGM to green light another proper series.

Its basically a movie, split up into 10 minute blocks.

Not sure why they did it that way, seems like they could just release it as a film and be done with it - people will almost certainly combine them anyway.

Re: Stargate Origins

Here's a new teaser,

Re: Stargate Origins

if I had won the euro millions on Tuesday I would have funded a new Stargate series (and proper Star Trek).

Re: Stargate Origins

this looks so good. Out of all the series making a revival/come back why oh why can't they bring Stargate back.
