The 2000s Battlestar Galactica franchise, including the miniseries, series, a movie, and prequel Caprica, will become available on Paramount+ and Pluto TV starting May 1. This follows a deal with NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution, as TVLine has learned. Most titles will appear on both platforms, while Caprica is exclusive to Paramount+.
The reboot Battlestar Galactica franchise from the 2000s is returning to streaming platforms. Beginning May 1, viewers can access the 2003 SYFY miniseries on Paramount+ and Pluto TV. This three-hour production stars Edward James Olmos as William Adama and Mary McDonnell as Laura Roslin, depicting humanity's remnants fleeing the mechanoid Cylon race that destroyed their home world. The miniseries reboots the original series that aired on ABC from 1978 to 1980. All four seasons of the Battlestar Galactica series, which ran on SYFY from 2005 to 2009, will also launch on both services. Key cast members include Katee Sackhoff as Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace, Jamie Bamber as Lee 'Apollo' Adama, James Callis as Gaius Baltar, Tricia Helfer as Number Six, and Grace Park as Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii. The logline describes survivors aboard the outdated Galactica warship, pursued by human-like Cylons, searching for Earth. Additionally, the 2009 SYFY movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, directed by Edward James Olmos, retells events from the Cylons' perspective using new and existing footage. It explores two Cylon leaders improvising after their attack leaves human survivors. All 19 episodes of the prequel series Caprica, set 50 years earlier on the planet Caprica, will stream exclusively on Paramount+. The 2010 SYFY series follows families Graystone and Adama amid events leading to the colonies' fate.
