List of Stargate audiobooks
This is a list of Stargate audiobooks produced by Big Finish Productions. The series of audiobooks began in April 2008 and concluded in December 2012, with 18 instalments released in total. The audiobooks are based around characters and story elements from the military science fiction television shows Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, with SG-1 initially running from July 1997 until March 2007 and Atlantis running from July 2004 until January 2009. A number of the main and reoccurring cast members from both SG-1 and Atlantis feature in the partially dramatised audiobooks. Specifically written score and sound effects taken from the shows are used throughout.
The license for Big Finish to make any new, or sell their existing Stargate audiobooks expired in 2015 and as a result, copies were only available secondhand.[1] In July 2022, Big Finish announced that they would be re-releasing their audiobooks as digital downloads, with new artwork to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Stargate television franchise.[2][3]
Development and production
A second series was announced by Big Finish in January 2009 for monthly releases starting that May.[10][11] In some cases, the actors were able to record their parts in the same studio, with Nicolas Briggs and Kavan Smith recording together in London, whilst Christopher Judge and Paul McGillion recorded their parts in Canada, with their scene partner Noel Clark and Neil Roberts recording separately sometime later.[12][13][14][15]
A third series was first mentioned discussed by Big Finish in March 2010, however it wasn't officially announced until January 2012.
