Stargate Alum Reunite for Script Reading

While Netflix and other streaming services have enabled a revisit to the worlds of “Stargate”, it's been some years since a new script for the much-loved sci-fi series has seen the light of day.

All that is about to change.

Earlier this month we shared that the online science fiction magazine, The Companion, hosted a livestream event to talk about the “Stargate” project they are developing with “Stargate” co-creator, Brad Wright: the production of a “Stargate” script in which each line of dialogue and stage direction is written by a Google-powered Artificial Intelligence program, with individual bots to be created to embody each character.

The hope - at the time - that “Stargate” alum would sit down for a table read of the computer generated script has been realized: with David Hewlett an early participant, Michael confirmed his involvement on September 16, and recently we’ve learned Amanda Tapping and Jewel Staite also signed up.

This special reunion of the actors behind Rodney McKay, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter and Jennifer Keller (respectively) will premiere next month. Brad Wright and actor Marc Evan Jackson (“The Good Place”), will host the event, which will include screening of the pre-recorded script table reading (which original artwork by illustator Amrit Birdi helps bring to life) as well as a live Q&A.

Check out the trailer below, then head over to The Companion website where you can purchase a membership to watch and participate in this exclusive event. ( (Options available include free trial periods.)

Welcome back, Daniel Jackson and co!
