NBC announced today that a flagship property on its new streaming service, Peacock, will be a reboot of Battlestar Galactica from Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot, Homecoming).
The reboot has been "blessed" by Ron Moore, who noted that Sam is a "rabid fan" of Moore's re-imaging. News is still dripping in, and it's unclear exactly where this will fall (will it be a true reboot, fit within Moore's version, something else?).
Earlier today Esmail tweeted:
BSG fans, this will NOT be a remake of the amazing series @RonDMoore launched because... why mess with perfection? Instead, we’ll explore a new story within the mythology while staying true to the spirit of Battlestar. So say we all!
Personally, I'm looking forward to this. BSG is one of my all time favourite shows (in my opinion one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever), and Esmail is one of the two most talented guys making TV right now (the other being Noah Hawley). Mo
