For Stargate fans, waiting for the continuation of this iconic series is nothing new. With news that Prime Video will be rebooting the sci-fi classic, we hope for the first time since the end of Stargate Universe that new intergalactic adventures are on the way. However, a few years ago, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Stargate SG-1, MGM made a brief return to this universe with a 10-episode mini-series in 2018. If you're looking for a quick sci-fi marathon on Prime Video this weekend, Stargate Origins is just for you.

Stargate Origins first premiered on the now-defunct streaming platform Stargate Command, which was entirely dedicated to the Stargate series. However, after this platform shut down, with Amazon's acquisition of MGM, the entire catalog of the series was integrated into Prime Video. This is great news for fans looking for a new series marathon. Although Stargate Origins is the latest production in the series to date, it presents a prequel story set before the original Roland Emmerich film. The mini-series begins a few years after Professor Paul Langford (Connor Trinneer) and his team's first discovery of the Earth's Stargate in Giza in 1938, starting with a flashback to the 1994 film and jumping to the years when Langford and his daughter Catherine (Ellie Gall) are trying to understand the strange symbols on the alien device.

While Catherine played a significant role in both the original film and SG-1, this prequel offers viewers her own adventure as she passes through the gate to reach the planet Abydos. This story, set decades before Daniel Jackson (James Spader, Michael Shanks), Jack O'Neill (Kurt Russell, Richard Dean Anderson), and their team arrive there, provides fans with a new opportunity for exploration. Stargate Origins promises an unforgettable experience for both old and new viewers.
