If long-time Stargate creator and executive producer Brad Wright has anything to say about it, the franchise will be back with a brand new show – and Daniel Jackson will likely be a part of it.

Wright teased the news to actor Michael Shanks on his new audio podcast for The Companion, “Brad Wright’s Conversations in Sci-Fi.” Shanks will appear as a special guest in the show’s debut episode, which is set to launch soon. Wright talked about how easy it is to write for Daniel’s voice.

“Writing [for Daniel Jackson] – and I have written you more recently, to tease that – I gotta say how easy it is when you’re writing for a character you’ve written 10,000 lines for,” he said. “I can hear your voice very clearly when I’m typing.”

Wright has been working on a long-gestating Stargate project, which he still hopes will be picked up by a broadcaster or streaming platform – despite the delays caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic. This new tease appears to indicate that he has at least one script in the works, and that the character Daniel Jackson appears in it.
