Battlestar Galactica Reboot Series Finally Happening From Mr. Robot Creator

Battlestar Galactica first whizzed its way onto television screens in 1978 through Glen A. Larson’s ABC series, which ran for just one season.

While it started out strong, even moving from a miniseries project to a full season order, by the end of the 24 episodes, excitement over the show had petered out, leading ABC to chop it from the docket.

Believing that there could still be more story to tell (just on a smaller budget), the network tried to rebrand it and launch it as Galactica 80, a move that proved futile with the show only airing ten episodes.
