A similar hashtag trended in December. Writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi shared a tweet that encouraged fans to use the #WeWantStargate hashtag.

Metro-Goldwyn Meyer Inc. owns the Stargate franchise. It began with Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich's original Stargate movie in 1994. Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner then turned the concept into the television series Stargate SG-1 in 1997. The series ran for 10 seasons, concluding in 2007. Two direct-to-DVD movies followed: Stargate: The Ark of Truth, and Stargate: Continuum.

By the time Stargate SG-1 ended it had already spawned a spinoff series. Stargate Atlantis launched in 2004 and ran for five seasons, ending in 2009. That same year, another new Stargate series, Stargate Universe, debuted. It ran for two seasons, ending in 2011 and ending the franchise's run on television.

In 2017, to coincide with the launch of Stargate Command, MGM launched Stargate Origins. The web series is a prequel told through 10 episodes, each 10-minutes in length. That brief return to the Stargate universe seems to have whet fans' appetites for more.

As for Stargate Command the site launched as the definitive homepage for Stargate fans. Fans could visit the site to watch every Stargate series as well as the films. In October, the website announced it will transition its video content to YouTube in the coming year.
