Stargate Origins (abbreviated as SGO) is an American science fiction adventure web miniseries created and written by Mark Ilvedson and Justin Michael Terry, part of the Stargate franchise. It premiered with three episodes on February 15, 2018 on MGM's Stargate Command subscription service, and concluded with the release of the last three episodes on March 8, 2018.

The program is a prequel to the other works in the franchise, taking place in 1939, several decades before the events of the 1994 Stargate film and its subsequent sequel series. It follows a young Catherine Langford (a minor character from the 1994 film and Stargate SG-1), who goes through the Stargate in a quest to save her father.

The series was announced on July 20, 2017 at the 2017 San Diego Comic Con as part of Stargate SG-1's 20th anniversary celebration. It consists of ten episodes, each 10 minutes in length. A 104-minute-long "Feature Cut" titled Stargate Origins: Catherine and acting as a film was released on June 19, 2018 on digital retail outlets around the world in SD, HD, and 4K formats.

Plot[]

A young Catherine Langford embarks on an adventure to unlock the mystery of the Stargate. Catherine and her father examine the gate at a warehouse near Giza.^[1] Nazi cultist Wilhelm Brücke takes them hostage, reveals he knows how to use the gate, and force Professor Langford to go through the gate with them. Catherine overpowers her guard and seeks the help of her friends Captain James Beal and Wasif, convincing them to go through the gate with her to rescue her father.

They arrive in a temple in a desert on some planet somewhere in the Galaxy. It is controlled by Aset, a demi-god, mistress of the God Ra and rebelling against him. Brücke makes a deal with Aset where he will take powerful metal back to Earth in exchange for 1000s of slaves, "undesirables" to the Nazi regime, for her fight to overthrow Ra. Aset alienates the local tribesmen, her servants. Befriended by these tribesmen, Catherine learns how to activate the stargate from that end. Encouraged by Langford who has been interpreting, Aset breaks with Brücke who is killed, takes pity on Langford and Catherine, wipes their memories and lets them leave. Beal dies allowing them to escape after Ra arrives. Angered by Aset's betrayal, Ra wipes the slate clean on that end.

Back on Earth and having no memory of their adventures since before the Nazis arrived, Langford and Catherine wrap up their investigation of the stargate as the US takes possession of it. Catherine wonders about the nugget of strange metal in her possession and knows she'll be dealing with the stargate again.
