Sci Fi TV News of Note:
SciTrek posted another update about the potential Stargate series, and their source at MGM+ indicates that work is still going forward on that show. They may not have the budget they hoped for seeing as Amazon is cutting funding to that streamer, but the show is still in the works. You can see the full video at this link.
CBS announced its schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 season, and that included no new sci fi/fantasy shows. The only genre entry on that network currently is the supernatural comedy Ghosts which will be heading into its fourth season.
