Six years ago, the abrupt conclusion of Stargate Universe left fans of the Stargate franchise without a TV series to follow for the first time since 1997. Next year, that extended hiatus will come to an end with the premiere of Stargate Origins, an original series created for the Stargate Command streaming service.
The new show will place the focus on Catherine Langford, a young woman who played a key role in the discovery of the Stargate and its secrets after it was found in 1928. In the latest teaser trailer, Catherine and her father find themselves threatened by German soldiers over control of the Stargate before embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.
Ellie Gall plays Catherine, while Stargate Atlantis veteran Connor Trinneer is portraying her father, Professor Langford. Within the backstory established by the original Stargate film and Stargate: SG-1, Catherine never entered the Stargate while she was a young woman, although she did lose her fiancé to a Stargate experiment that left him trapped on the other side of the galaxy. It’s not clear if Stargate Origins represents a reboot of the franchise or if it will incorporate the previously laid out continuity.
Salome Azizi, Philip Alexander, Michelle Jubilee Gonzalez, Daniel Rashid, and Sarah Navratil co-star in Stargate Origins, which will make its debut on February 15, 2018. The first season will consist of 10 episodes, which will be approximately 10 minutes in length.
