The franchise is based on the idea of an alien Einstein--Rosen bridge device (the Stargate) that enables nearly instantaneous travel across the cosmos . The franchise began with the film Stargate, released on October 28, 1994, by Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer and Carolco, which grossed US $197 million worldwide . In 1997, Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner created a television series titled Stargate SG - 1 as a sequel to the film . This show was joined by Stargate Atlantis in 2004, Stargate Universe in 2009, and a prequel web series, Stargate Origins, in 2017 . Also consistent with the same story are a variety of books, video games and comic books, as well as the direct - to - DVD movies Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum, which concluded the first television show after 10 seasons . </P> <P> In 2011, Stargate Universe, the last Stargate program on television, ended its run . Brad Wright announced that there were no more plans to continue the same story in further productions . In 2016, comic publisher American Mythology acquired the rights to publish new Stargate Atlantis stories set within the established franchise canon . This was expanded in 2017 to include new Stargate Universe comics as well, resolving the cliffhanger that ended the show . The predominant story arc thus ran on television for 15 years, including 17 seasons (354 episodes) of programming, and 8 comic book issues as of July 2017 . However, a variety of other media either ignore this main continuity or resets it, while maintaining essential elements that define the franchise (mainly, the inclusion of a Stargate device). These include the 2002 animated series Stargate Infinity . </P>
