‘Battlestar Galactica’ Reboot No Longer In Development At Peacock, Will Be Shopped
The long-gestating reboot of the popular sci-fi franchise Battlestar Galactica, from Sam Esmail's Esmail Corp., is no longer set up at Peacock.
The original Battlestar Galactica centered on the last group of humans on the verge of extinction after a series of wars with a robot race, The Cylons, destroyed the Twelve Colonies. The original Glen A. Larson-created series, produced by Universal and starring Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene as Commander Adama, ran on ABC for one season in 1978-1979. UCP (then known as Universal Cable Productions) produced Ron Moore’s critically and commercially successful 2003 revamp, which started as a miniseries before becoming a series, starring Edward James Olmos in Greene’s commander role, Mary McDonnell, Katee Sackoff and Grace Park, which ran for four seasons and spawned a short-lived prequel, Caprica.
