Stargate Fans Slam Amazon for Doctor Who Comments Amid Series Cancellation
A recent comment from Amazon executives has sparked outrage among Stargate fans, who feel betrayed by the streamer's decision to scrap Martin Gero's new series.
The comment, made by Oliver Jones, Senior Commissioner for UK Scripted at Amazon Prime Video, stated that 'we welcome any conversations around IP,' implying that Amazon is open to partnering with franchises like Doctor Who.
This statement has been met with skepticism and anger from the Stargate community, who feel that Amazon's actions do not match their words. The streamer had previously announced plans to develop a new series based on Gero's vision, but ultimately decided to cancel it.
Martin Gero spent two years developing his show, which aimed to introduce a fresh jumping-on point for new viewers while respecting existing canon. However, Amazon has elected not to move forward with the project, leaving fans heartbroken and frustrated.
