Stargate SG-1 has been off the air for nearly two decades after a solid ten-season run, but the franchise has never completely disappeared, largely thanks to the fans. Between its sprawling mythology, unforgettable cast of characters, and the sheer number of worlds left to explore, there’s a reason fans have spent years hoping for another trip through the gate.
The fanbase took a major blow earlier this year when Amazon MGM scrapped its planned revival, seemingly shutting down one of the franchise’s most promising opportunities for a comeback. Fortunately, Stargate fans finally caught a break in October, when reports emerged that a brand-new series was once again in development, this time with WandaVision creator Jac Schaeffer attached.
While it’s still early, and there are plenty of questions about what the next chapter might look like, it’s an encouraging sign that the franchise isn’t going anywhere. And following another recent release, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Stargate has a life well beyond its original television run, proving that this beloved sci-fi universe simply refuses to die.
New Stargate SG-1 Release Is For Longtime Fans
Stargate SG-1 fans have even more to look forward to, as BlueBrixx has officially unveiled two new collectible building sets inspired by the franchise’s most recognizable enemies. The German toy company has revealed its Goa’uld Symbiont and Jaffa Battlepack sets, bringing two iconic pieces of Stargate mythology to life.
The Goa’uld Symbiont is a 400-piece display model depicting one of the parasitic alien creatures responsible for controlling human hosts throughout the series. Featuring red eyes, an open mouth, and a segmented body, the set will retail for €19.95. Meanwhile, the 250-piece Jaffa Battlepack includes several Jaffa warriors, interchangeable helmets, staff weapons, and additional accessories for recreating battles from SG-1. That set is listed for €29.95. Both are currently marked as coming soon, with no confirmed release dates.
These additions join BlueBrixx’s growing collection of officially licensed Stargate sets, which includes recreations of the Stargate Command Gate Room, the F-302 fighter, the Goa’uld Al’kesh bomber, and the Asgard O’Neill-class spaceship. Other models explore the franchise’s wider mythology, including the Zero Point Module from Stargate Atlantis and the iconic Destiny spacecraft from Stargate Universe.
For longtime fans, these releases offer an opportunity to recreate memorable scenes that helped define the franchise. With BlueBrixx continuing to expand its Stargate lineup, there’s plenty of reason to believe even more fan-favorite designs could eventually receive the brick-building treatment.
It’s A New Era For Stargate SG-1
For longtime Stargate fans, the arrival of these new BlueBrixx sets is just another sign that the franchise is entering an exciting new era. Although Stargate Universe ended in 2011, bringing the franchise’s original television run to a close, the universe has continued expanding in unexpected ways, and momentum appears to be building toward a long-awaited return to television.
Beyond BlueBrixx’s increasingly impressive collection, fans have also received new opportunities to explore the franchise through video games. Released in January 2024, Stargate: Timekeepers brought players back into the SG-1 universe through a real-time tactical strategy adventure, with a story set against the backdrop of the original series. Its additional campaign content, released later that year, offered even more opportunities to revisit this beloved sci-fi setting.
Of course, the biggest development is the newly reported Stargate television series from Jac Schaeffer. Although the project remains in its early stages, the announcement has renewed hopes that the franchise will finally return to screens after years of uncertainty, though fans are still reluctant to get too excited until more concrete details surface.
Between new collectibles, video games, and the possibility of an entirely new show, hype surrounding Stargate feels stronger than it has in years.
