Vancouver Film Industry: Are We Getting Another "Stargate" Show?
What is your favorite Sci-Fi show filmed in Vancouver?
A new 'Stargate' television series has been given the green light by Amazon Prime. It is being created by Jac Schaeffer (WandaVision, Agatha All Along), who will lead a writers' room that will open up shortly, along with producers Harold and Tory Tunnell. If you are getting Deja Vu, you are not wrong I wrote almost this same exact article last year when Martin Gero (Blindspot, Quantum Leap) was hired to lead a new show that fizzled out when he was dropped in June.
That Gero-led show was planning on filming in England, so the big question remains will Schaeffer stay there or come back to its true home of Vancouver, where every show in the franchise except 'Stargate Origins' filmed? Hopefully, having the same crew and locations will be the deciding factor in favour of Vancouver.
The original film came out in 1994, starring Kurt Russell and James Spader as Colonel Jack O'Neil and Dr. Daniel Jackson. A spinoff series, 'Stargate SG-1' started filming in Vancouver in 1997, where Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks took over the respective roles. It also starred Amanda Tapping and Christopher Judge. The series lasted ten years and was followed by two TV movies and four spinoff series: 'Stargate Atlantis' (2004-2009), 'Stargate Universe' (2009-2011), web series 'Stargate Origins' (2018), and animated series 'Stargate Infinity' (2002-2003).
