Hi Everyone,
I want to show my support for Amazon to restore the "Go-Ahead" after a dimwit executive decided to cancel the show after it had been in the writing stage for TWO years by the original script writers, and they were about to start the casting process.
Please click on the links below for the full details. Thanks to Variety Magazine (C) Copyright 2026. for telling the fans the truth on June 2nd 2026.
The Background behind the decision. Backlash by Michael Shanks = "Daniel Jackson".

The SF fanbase was already lit up over the garbage that was Star Trek: Academy Wokeness; this cancellation of the upcoming series was just the cherry on the top. How to shoot yourself in the foot, Amazon. Your job is supposed to be creating the content for US, the fans, and we are fed up with just being served up slop when we do get a revival.
We want quality storylines that respect the story that has gone before and expand the lore. This would have been an EXPANSION to the story, not a reboot by someone who did not know what they were up to, by story writers and producers that were involved in the original series, so had experience in what makes a good show, who made a spaecific goal to be able to bring new fans into the story. That would benefit Amazon, too, proving that they can produce quality shows in this science fiction setting, which will attract audiences. Word of mouth is a very powerful seller of shows. Success breeds success, but this is negative publicity.
It is going to cost Amazon 18 million US Dollars to cancel it, including writers' fees.
We, the fans, are the ones who spend the money that will start the magic that others will latch onto. We have been treated with utter contempt. Beware the backlash. It is coming.
Regards all,
Ivor Cogdell
