In response, Shanks emphasized the importance of fan support, stating that now is the time to express interest in a Stargate show involving original creators. Joseph Mallozzi, the executive producer, countered claims about the series' appeal, asserting that it was crafted to resonate with both new and old fans. The new series, which had been in development for two years, was intended to honor the franchise's legacy while introducing fresh elements. The cancellation marks a significant disappointment for the dedicated Stargate fandom, who had been eagerly anticipating the revival. Shanks' call to action highlights the passionate community surrounding the franchise, urging fans to make their voices heard.
