Stargate is one of the longest running sci-fi franchises in history, spanning several films, critically acclaimed TV shows, and even a web series. It was based on the existence of a device which allows people to travel across cosmos – the Stargate – and through it, the heroes were able to embark on numerous adventures and battle enemies across the stars to return victorious.
At the center of these escapades were brave women who proves themselves smart and capable time and time again, when it came to strategy and combat. Whether they were military combatants, medical officers, or scientists – they all lended their skills and knowledge to help save the Earth.
Women were always an integral part of the Stargate franchise, and the actresses who played these key characters delivered great performances, no matter what their character’s story arc was. They presented both the darker, more dramatic sides of these characters, as well as the lighter side along with the signature sharp humor of the franchise. The talented actresses on this list, who played their iconic roles for many seasons, have moved on to other ventures – some within the sci-fi genre, and some outside of it. So what have these fierce ladies been up to since Stargate ended? Read on to find out.
