The series was originally developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner, and Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper, Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie served as executive producers.

The season arc centres on the new threat of the Ori, a race who Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) and Vala Mal Doran (Claudia Black) unleash in an unknown galaxy, and who are threatening to prepare for a crusade into the Milky Way galaxy to convert the beings to their religion called Origin.

The ninth season begins with General Hank Landry (Beau Bridges) having assumed command of Stargate Command, and newcomer Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder) trying to regroup the SG-1 team after the events of the eighth season.
