Speaking at a convention in Edmonton on September 28, 2013, Joe Flanigan stated that a few years prior, he had negotiated with the then boss of [[MGM]] about leasing the series in order to produce season 6 of Stargate Atlantis, and potentially more. Flanigan took it upon himself to secure the necessary financing from various investors as MGM would be unable to back the series due to them going through financial difficulties. Securing the needed backing to produce a full 20 episode season, Flanigan and his team began planning out the production itself, with a planned move from MGM studios in Vancouver to a studio in [[Europe]] in order to save money. Flanigan's team, their investors and MGM came up with ''"all the numbers"'' as well as working out television networks for broadcasting, studios and plans for a 10-year lease of the Stargate franchise.{{cite speech|title=Panel with Joe Flanigan|first=Joe|last=Flanigan|event=Edmonton Expo|location=[[Edmonton, Alberta]], Canada|date=28 September 2013|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PukkdCKnBww| archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211109/PukkdCKnBww| archive-date=2021-11-09 | url-status=live|access-date=26 June 2015}}{{cbignore}} However, MGM filed for bankruptcy in November 2010.{{cite web|title=MGM in bankruptcy protection move|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11688023|website=BBC|date=3 November 2010}} The company then reemerged later, but [[Spyglass Entertainment]] now held the rights for Stargate, meaning Flanigan had to begin negotiations all over again. Flanigan stated that he believed Spyglass were more interested in working with [[Roland Emmerich]] on another feature film, outside of the main continuity of the series.
