Stargate Reboot Bites the Dust Amid Amazon-MGM Shake-Up

Deadline confirms that Martin Gero's Stargate reboot ordered by Prime Video in 2025 will not move forward at Amazon MGM Studios due to leadership changes and a shift in the streamer’s programming strategy; with a 20-week writers room completed and UK pre-production underway, the project was canceled outright rather than retooled, as Gero focuses on other projects under his deal while MGM may revisit the IP with a different showrunner in the future.

Amazon Cancels Martin Gero’s Stargate Series as Franchise Eyes New Paths

Stargate Mirage: Oracle’s $340B AI-Compute Bet Faces Delays and Debt

The piece argues that Stargate, a touted collaboration between Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI to rapidly build a massive U.S. AI data-center fleet (about 7.1GW, ~$340B), is largely fictional or misrepresented: no fresh capital has materialized, projects are far behind schedule, and financing relies on complex project financing that keeps debt off Oracle’s balance sheet. OpenAI’s projected losses and heavy commitments to other cloud providers compound concerns that the venture may never pay for itself, potentially dragging Oracle into unsustainable debt and cash-flow strain despite aggressive marketing claims.

Oracle's Stargate Expansion Slowed, Core AI Pact Stays in Place

Oracle’s $500 billion Stargate AI data-center project in Abilene, Texas, appears to be slowed rather than halted: Bloomberg says plans to expand capacity with OpenAI are shelved due to financing terms and evolving compute needs, while the core 4.5 GW agreement remains on track and construction at eight sites continues with Nvidia gear. CNBC cautions the broader Stargate program isn’t canceled, but the market has pricing in tighter upside as Oracle’s leverage and OpenAI dependence loom large; Meta could enter as a future tenant, highlighting the ongoing execution risk in multi‑billion AI infra bets.
