Sci-fi fans have finally found a reason to celebrate because Stargate SG-1 Netflix is returning to the platform on 15 February 2026. However, the announcement has ended a long three-year absence that started when the series left the platform in December 2022. Hence, the new licensing deal is all set to bring all 10 seasons and 214 episodes back to streaming in the US and select international regions.
Why Stargate SG-1 Still Matters
The series was first aired in 1997 as the continuation of Roland Emmerich’s 1994 Stargate film. Moreover, it instantly evolved into one of the most respected science fiction series on television.
The story follows Colonel Jack O’Neill and the elite Stargate SG-1 team as they travel across the galaxy using an ancient alien portal to protect Earth from extraterrestrial threats. However, the rare balance of military realism, ancient mythology, humour, and emotional storytelling is a unique element of this series.
The show ran over its decade-long run (1997-2007). Moreover, it has earned many Emmy nominations and developed a fiercely loyal global fan base, particularly strong in Europe, Australia, and the Middle East.

What’s Included in the Netflix Deal?
Here is what you can expect when Stargate SG-1 Netflix returns:
- Platform: Netflix
- Release date: February 15, 2025
- Total episodes: 214
- Seasons: All 10 seasons
- Availability: US and select international territories
- Rights holder: Amazon MGM Studios
It is essential to note that the agreement covers only Stargate SG-1 on Netflix. However, its spin-offs, Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate: Universe, will be exclusively available on Prime Video in most regions.
A Strategic Move by Amazon MGM Studios
The decision of Amazon MGM Studios to bring Stargate SG-1 is more than nostalgia. However, it is a calculated strategy to reignite interest in the Stargate franchise, as a brand-new Stargate series is currently in development for Prime Video.
Martin Gero is leading the upcoming project, who is a longtime Stargate writer and producer. By reintroducing Stargate SG-1 to a massive Netflix audience, Amazon is allowing longtime fans and first-time viewers to reconnect with the core mythology of the franchise before the reboot arrives.
In short, fans can reconnect with the universe, and newcomers will get an overview of what is coming through this decision. This is because the Stargate universe is expanding again after years of disappearance. Therefore, 15 February will serve as the official reopening of the portal for the streaming generation.

Why Fans Are Excited to Binge Again
Fans can finally rewatch the iconic story arcs without interruptions as the entire series will be available in one place, i.e Netflix. Hence, you will get an overview from early standalone adventures to the deeper, mythology-heavy later seasons. This is because SG-1 is remarkably binge-worthy even by modern streaming standards.
Its mix of smart sci-fi concepts, character growth, action, and humour continues to resonate with the audience who are looking for intelligent entertainment beyond short-form content. Plus, the return of Stargate SG-1 is especially significant as global Netflix rollouts increasingly include MENA audiences for major legacy titles for viewers in the UAE and across the world.
What This Means for the Future of Stargate
The return of Stargate SG-1 to Netflix signals renewed confidence in the long-term value of the franchise. If viewership performs strongly, you can expect more Stargate titles following in the future licensing waves.
As of now, February 15 is the official reopening of the Stargate universe. Hence, it will give a new generation of viewers the chance to step through one of the most beloved sci-fi portals once again of television.
