The New Battlestar Galactica Reboot Gets a Promising Update

Oh, Battlestar. We miss you.

News of Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail developing a new version of Battlestar Galactica broke almost five years ago. In that time, there haven’t been many updates, but now, finally, there’s a huge one and we’re hoping this is the news that pushes the project into reality.

Deadline reports that the show, which is being developed for Peacock, will now be written, executive produced, and showrun by Derek Simonds. He created the 2017 USA show The Sinner starring Bill Pullman and produced that same year’s Call Me By Your Name. He’s taking over for Michael Lesslie, who was announced on the project in May 2020.
