Peacock Drops The Battlestar Galactica Reboot Series

The Battlestar Galactica reboot is going to need a new home. Peacock has dropped the show after it spent five years in development for the streamer. And in that half-decade, Peacock never formally ordered it to series.

Via Variety, Universal Content Productions still plans to shop the Battlestar Galactica reboot around to other outlets now that it's no longer in development for Peacock. Within UCP's parent company, Comcast, the most-likely destination other than Peacock would be Syfy, the channel that broadcast the 2003 Battlestar Galactica reboot. Beyond that, the other major streamers could potentially have interest in the show.

Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail was the driving force behind the Battlestar Galactica reboot, which was reportedly still set in the continuity established by the 2003 miniseries and the subsequent series that followed in 2004. Michael Lesslie was hired to write the new show in 2020 before he left the project the following year. Derek Simonds was hired to be the new Battlestar Galactica showrunner and writer at the beginning of 2024.
