In a major win for science fiction fans, Netflix has confirmed the triumphant return of the acclaimed series Stargate SG-1 to its streaming library. The platform announced that the entire epic saga will be available for subscribers starting 15 February 2026.
A Galactic Journey Returns to Streaming
The show, which is an adaptation of the 1994 film starring James Spader and Kurt Russell, originally aired between 1997 and 2007 on Showtime and the Sci Fi network. Netflix will be adding the complete series run, which comprises all 10 seasons and 214 episodes, for viewers in the United States and several international territories. This rollout definitively includes the United Kingdom, where the series first found a loyal audience on Sky One.
The series follows the adventures of a pioneering military team, led by characters portrayed by Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping, and Christopher Judge. They traverse the galaxy using an ancient alien device known as the Stargate, encountering new worlds and formidable threats.
Legacy and Fan Excitement
Widely regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi television shows of all time, Stargate SG-1 spawned a successful franchise. Its success led to multiple spin-offs, including Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, and Stargate Origins. Notably, a brand-new spin-off series is currently in active development at Prime Video, signalling enduring interest in the universe.
The news of its Netflix debut has been met with enthusiastic celebration from the fan community on social media. One fan exclaimed on X (formerly Twitter), "Looks like #Stargate SG-1 is landing back on @netflix in February, all 10 seasons. Happy happy, joy joy!" Another user humorously noted, "They’ve just put FRINGE and STARGATE:SG1 on streaming so I'll see you in a couple of months, OK?"
What This Means for UK Viewers
The return of Stargate SG-1 to Netflix UK provides both a nostalgic reunion for long-time fans and a perfect entry point for a new generation of viewers. Having the extensive catalogue available on-demand allows for epic binge-watching sessions and rediscovery of a defining series in the sci-fi genre. Its arrival underscores Netflix's continued strategy to bolster its library with iconic, long-running television properties that command dedicated fanbases.
Mark your calendars for 15 February 2026, when the Stargate will once again activate for subscribers, offering a gateway to hundreds of hours of intergalactic exploration and adventure.
