WeeklyTrek #308: What Amazon Canceling New Stargate Before Filming Means for Star Trek
About this episode
Alex Perry discusses the implications of Amazon canceling the Stargate revival on the future of Star Trek and legacy franchises.
On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry reflects on the recent news that Amazon Studios has canceled the Stargate revival show they announced late last year, before filming even started, out of concerns that it would only appeal to the built in fanbase and not expand the franchise's appeal. What does that have to do with Star Trek? Alex thinks there's a vibe shift underway for legacy franchises with bult in fanbases, and you'll either hear thoughtful commentary on the current state of Star Trek or the beginning of a midlife crisis playing out in real time.
