Michael Shanks Helps Rally Fans Behind #SaveStargate

After Amazon MGM's decision not to move forward with the new Stargate series, the fan response has already turned into an organized push to keep the franchise alive.

CinemaBlend reported on June 7, 2026 that Michael Shanks, best known to Stargate fans as Daniel Jackson, has been actively encouraging fans to speak up online if they want another chapter with original Stargate voices involved.

The fan effort has been gathering around the #SaveStargate hashtag, with viewers sharing petitions, memories, and messages aimed at Amazon MGM. The tone has been a mix of disappointment and determination, with many fans pointing out that the franchise has remained active through conventions, podcasts, rewatches, fan projects, and streaming discovery even after years without a new full television series.

That passion matters because the reported concern around the shelved Martin Gero series was whether it could reach beyond the dedicated Stargate base. The fan campaign is trying to make the opposite argument: that the base is still here, still vocal, and still ready to bring new viewers through the gate.

It is too early to know whether the campaign will influence Amazon MGM's next move. Similar fan efforts have succeeded for some genre shows and failed for others, and there has been no public reversal. But with Amazon reportedly still interested in Stargate as a franchise, visible fan energy may help shape what comes next.

For SGU Rewind readers, the message is simple: if Stargate still matters to you, now is the moment to be visible, constructive, and loud enough to register.
