What Xaeden says makes sense. Stargate needs to undergo a trial on a smaller service and work its way up to a bigger one. There's also a good reason for it - if you bring back a successful franchise onto a streaming service, it is important to:
1. Test the waters first and see if there is still audience interest.
2a. If there is little to no interest, no-one is going to be spending even a sammler amount of finances to start and/or keep the project going.
2b. If there is interest and if that interest doesn't fade away over a short period of time, than the franchise does have a chance.
3. A new Stargate series must be done right. Which means hiring the right people to do it. Which means even more and even larger checks to pay. That , of course, lowers the actual available budget for the filming of new SG content.
4. If a new SG series is done right, it must gain the right space in order to survive. Which means that the streaming service stands behind it 110 %. But to give the new series a space, that means working with a limited budget and NOT going over it like JM/BW/RC/MG did in the past.
If SG does come back in any form, I think we can expect something alike SG-1 S01 where not even the producers knew what to do with the franchise. So if any sort of continuation of the TV stuff happens, it won't be in the production shape like the SG franchise was during its final few seasons.
