Cuộc tái khởi đầu của Battlestar Galactica không còn được thực hiện tại Peacock. Cập nhật mới nhất từ Variety cho biết rằng dự án tái khởi đầu này từ Mr. Robot Sam Esmail tại Peacock không tiếp tục phát triển. Dù không được hoàn thiện, dự án Battlestar mới được công bố từ năm 2019 hứa hẹn sẽ đưa khán giả quay trở lại với thế giới ấy, nhưng giờ đây, dường như không còn cơ hội tại Peacock nữa. UCP sẽ tiếp tục tìm kiếm cơ hội cho dự án tại những nền tảng khác, và chúng ta hy vọng rằng Battlestar sẽ sớm tìm được một mái nhà mới. #BattlestarGalactica #Peacock #SciFi #FilmTV
Somewhere, the faint sound of an especially melancholy take on “All Along the Watchtower” is playing, because Battlestar Galactica fans aren’t getting a balm for that polarizing 2009 finale of the show’s most recent iteration anytime soon. A new report says that the long-planned reboot at Peacock—from Mr. Robot‘s Sam Esmail—is no longer moving forward at the streamer.
Variety broke the news, and reminds us that the new Battlestar “was never formally ordered to series and has been in development (since it was announced in 2019). Exact story details never emerged, but the show was said to be set in the same continuity as the 2003 Battlestar Galactica series.” In 2020, Michael Lesslie came aboard as showrunner, but earlier in 2024 we learned that Derek Simonds (The Sinner) had instead been tapped for the role, and was also to have served as writer and executive producer.
At the time, we took the news that Simonds had joined Esmail’s project as an excellent sign that it was really, truly happening. Now it seems that’s not the case—at least not at Peacock; Variety writes that “according to an individual with knowledge of the situation, (studio) UCP will shop the project to other outlets.”
Here’s hoping Battlestar finds a new home soon—maybe at a streamer more known for specializing in sci-fi?
