New StarGate series Prime Video.

If you had enough you could do something different based on the rough premise -- the BSG route, but in my opinion modern TV production realities would never allow it to generate enough (20+ episodes a year for a couple of years) to outshine its earlier brethren, so I think a continuation is the best move.
Them going the BSG route is to me what cancelled the show.. SG1, Atlantis Campy fun actions. Universe, BSG Glume and doom. It didn't work.


Also..

"Somehow the Destiny crew got back home"

There solved it.
 
One thing that will make me turn off the show and never watch it is to have original cast members return in the first episode only to have them killed off so I new team can take over. I would be cool with a new cast and new team or with some original members returning in cameos though.
 
A thought has occurred to me, though to start with I'm working off the assumption this show will premiere in 2027 based on the fact there's usually a year and a half to two years between these kind of shows being announced and premiering. Anyway, assuming a 2027 premiere, that will mean this show will be premiering sixteen years after the franchise's retirement if you will with the end of SGU. Sixteen years is also the length of Doctor Who's "Wilderness Years" the period between the show "going on hiatus" with the end of Sylvester McCoy's run in 1989 and the show's revival with Christopher Eccleston in 2005. To further this parallel, Stargate had a brief respite from with the release of Stargate Origins in 2018, seven years into the franchise's period of dormancy, just as Doctor Who had the 1996 TV movie seven years into the Wilderness Years.

Granted, Stargate doesn't have a steady run of novels, comics and audio dramas keeping the flame lit during this era like Doctor Who had.

There was a pretty active line of novels from Fandemonium in the UK, published pretty steadily from 2004-2019. So the "keeping the flame lit" era lasted for about 8 years.
