SCI FI Announces Caprica

NEW YORK?SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.

Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but where high technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for the better.

But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot: a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.


I don't know. What do ya think?

It could be really good or a rotten tomato. It all depends on the execution. Any idea when it will start?

Just guessing but it would make sense to start it about the time BSG comes back in November.

When would the put it on? The Stargates and BSG already take up the entire Sci-Fi Friday lineup.

Unless they were planning to show it when BSG was on a break...
