reboot of the reboot coming

NBCUniversal's newly named streaming service, Peacock, is revisiting Battlestar Galactica with a new, straight-to-series take from Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, set as part of its initial content lineup. Peacock will also be the streaming home for Ron Moore's Syfy take on Battlestar Galactica.

Details about the new take on the beloved drama are being kept under wraps, though sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that it will be an updated, more modern look at the world as told through the lens of the sci-fi favorite. The updated Battlestar Galactica, sources say, will be inspired by Syfy's 2004 series, developed by Ron Moore, and not based on the 1978 original from creator Glen A. Larson

Rumor has it that some young guy named Elliot will play Adama.

I kept expecting a series of new movies to come along but just learned about this new TV series. It should be out by 2022 if the pandemic doesn't worsen significantly.

I welcome anything more in the "regular" BSG universe, I have been hoping for it and looking forward to it. Really hope I am not disappointed. Seeing that it is set in the same universe which had a long story that was concluded, I don't know how they can go back to this story unless they create stories set in between the seasons or episodes of what we got in the reboot.

When I say "regular" I mean BSG and not Caprica. I had no interest in that.

I wonder what a humourous adult cartoon version might be like, set in the 1970s with all the charming style of class of the original show.

I hope they update Battlestar again. I want them to put the board game back in print XD.
