As a die-hard fan of Battlestar Galactica since its initial airing in the late ’70s, I’ve been through quite the rollercoaster with this franchise. From the original series to the groundbreaking reboot on Syfy, and now this seemingly endless development cycle for the reboot on Peacock – it feels like a never-ending journey through the stars!
It appears the Battlestar Galactica reboot no longer has a residence on Peacock. After being in development for five years on this streaming platform, the show was ultimately not picked up by Peacock and officially commissioned as a series.
Through Variety, Universal Content Productions continues to seek distribution for the Battlestar Galactica reboot among various networks following its departure from Peacock’s development lineup. Given its association with Comcast, Syfy – the channel that originally aired the 2003 Battlestar Galactica remake – could be a viable candidate. Furthermore, other prominent streaming platforms might also express interest in the series.
Sam Esmail played a significant role in reviving Battlestar Galactica, which continued the storyline established by the 2003 miniseries and subsequent series that began in 2004. Michael Lesslie was appointed as the writer for the new series in 2020 but stepped down from the project a year later. In early 2024, Derek Simonds took over as both the showrunner and writer of Battlestar Galactica.
Glen A. Larson developed the initial Battlestar Galactica television series for ABC in 1978, which ran only one season. This show focused on a group of space survivors escaping from the Cylons, a robotic race that almost wiped out humanity. The Battlestar Galactica served as their protector while they sought Earth, hoping to find safety there. The brief spin-off series, Galactica 1980, depicted the fleet’s arrival on modern-day Earth.
After the end of the second Battlestar Galactica series, Syfy tried several methods to continue the franchise. The show Caprica ran for just one season. Another prequel, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, was a 10-episode web series that could have become a regular TV show, but it didn’t get picked up by the network. In 2020, Simon Kinberg, director of X-Men: Dark Phoenix, was linked to a Battlestar Galactica film, distinct from Esmail’s reboot. However, there hasn’t been any news on that project for quite some time.
