==Summary==

Announced on the 41st anniversary of the [[Original Series|1978 ''Battlestar Galactica'' series]], this new series is inspired by the [[Ronald D. Moore]]-lead [[Re-imagined Series]].<ref name="esmail">{{cite_web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/battlestar-galactica-reboot-sam-esmail-works-at-nbcus-streamer-1239018|title='Battlestar Galactica' Reboot From Sam Esmail in the Works at NBCU's Streamer|accessdate=17 September 2019|last=Goldberg|first=Lesley}}</ref>

Following the announcement wherein NBC claimed that the new series was a "reboot,"<ref>{{cite_web|url=http://www.nbcuniversal.com/press-release/nbcuniversal-announces-%E2%80%98peacock%E2%80%99-name-its-streaming-service-and-unveils-initial|title=NBCUNIVERSAL ANNOUNCES ‘PEACOCK’ AS THE NAME OF ITS STREAMING SERVICE AND UNVEILS INITIAL CONTENT LINEUP|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=19 September 2019}}</ref> Esmail went to Twitter to clarify that "it will '''NOT''' be a remake of the amazing series by @RonDMoore launched because... why mess with perfection? Instead, we’ll explore a new story within the mythology while staying true to the spirit of ''Battlestar''. [[So say we all]]!"<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://twitter.com/samesmail/status/1173987378894999552|title=Sam Esmail Tweet|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=17 September 2019}}</ref>

Furthermore, according to the website Deadline.com, "We hear Esmail had been in touch with Moore, who blessed the idea of him taking on the franchise, because of Esmail's passion for Moore's show."<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://deadline.com/2019/09/battlestar-galactica-reboot-drama-series-sam-esmail-nbc-streaming-service-peacock-1202736127/|title=‘Battlestar Galactica’ Reboot From Sam Esmail Headed For NBCU’s Peacock Streaming Service|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=19 September 2019|last=Hipes|first=Patrick}}</ref> This was clarified by Esmail himself in an interview October 2019, wherein he notes that he spoke to Moore and asked: "A, are you OK with this? And B, if you are, how do we proceed?" Esmail also noted that Moore "said he was OK with it as long as it wasn't a reboot — which was in line with what I was thinking."<ref name="thr-100319">{{cite_web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sam-esmail-battlestar-galactica-life-mr-robot-1244397|title=Sam Esmail on 'Battlestar Galactica' and Life After 'Mr. Robot'|date=03 October 2019|accessdate=03 October 2019|last=O'Connell|first=Michael}}</ref>

To date, Moore himself has not commented publicly on the series' development.

Meanwhile, fan reaction is understandably mixed, with some questioning publicly as to why another ''Battlestar Galactica'' series is necessary to some even voicing doubt on Esmail's claims.

Reaction from cast and crew members is also fairly positive, with initial responses posted to social media by [[Katee Sackhoff]] ([[Kara Thrace]]), [[Aaron Douglas]] ([[Galen Tyrol]]), [[Sam Witwer]] ([[Alex Quartararo]]), [[Rekha Sharma]] ([[Tory Foster]]), and others. (See: the [[#Official Statements|Official statements]] section.)

Executive produced by [[Sam Esmail]] under an overall deal with [[Universal Content Productions]] that itself was renewed February 2019, this series will leverage the ''Battlestar'' brand for NBC's own specialty streaming service called [[Peacock]] and may launch as early as April 2020.<ref name="peacock">{{cite_web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/nbcuniversals-streaming-strategy-name-programming-lineup-revealed-1240157|title=The Hollywood Reporter: NBCUniversal's Streaming Strategy, Name, Programming Lineup Revealed|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=17 September 2019|last=Goldberg|first=Lesley}}</ref>

Additional details on development, plot, casting, and confirmed airdate were not yet available as the series is considered in-development as of 17 September 2019.

* ''Esmail clarifies the announcement:''

: BSG fans, this will NOT be a remake of the [[Re-imagined Series|amazing series]] [[Ronald D. Moore|@RonDMoore]] launched because... why mess with perfection? Instead, we’ll explore a new story within the mythology while staying true to the spirit of ''Battlestar''. [[So say we all]]!<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://twitter.com/samesmail/status/1173987378894999552|title=Sam Esmail's Tweet - Re: Reboot|date=17 September 2019|accessdate=17 September 2019|last=Esmail|first=Sam}}</ref>

* ''Esmail discusses topical political commentary in response to a fan's plea to refrain from the inclusion of "identity politics or anti [[w:Donald Trump|Trump]] comentary (sic)," wherein they state that "the equilibrium between conservative AND liberal views" made "the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Re-imagined Series]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> so special."''

: Please try to remember that Trump doesn’t represent liberal or conservative values. All he represents is ignorant narcissism via his banal assholery. My attacks on trump (sic) aren’t on any political affiliation, just on the shittiness of his pathetically low character.<ref>{{cite_web|url=https://twitter.com/samesmail/status/1174428056569569280|title=Sam Esmail's Tweet - Re: Battlestar Politics|date=18 September 2019|accessdate=19 September 2019|last=Esmail|first=Sam}}</ref>

* ''Esmail espouses his fondness for the Re-imagined Series:''

: It was this sci-fi show that didn't feel incredibly sci-fi-y. It was grounded. I felt like I was watching a war film — so allegorical because it really was talking about 9/11 and the post-terrorist attack environment in a really human way. It was groundbreaking television in how serialized it was before that became popular among the other dramatic shows.<ref name="thr-100319"/>

* ''Esmail notes his conversation with Re-imagined Series' developer, [[Ronald D. Moore]], on the concept of a "reboot":''

: The word "reboot" was used when we were first talking about it, and I cringed. [Showrunner] Ronald Moore, he just hit it out of the park with his series, so why would I even want to touch that? I talked to him and said, "A, are you OK with this? And B, if you are, how do we proceed?" He said he was OK with it as long as it wasn't a reboot — which was in line with what I was thinking. But the world of ''Battlestar Galactica'' is so rich, the mythology is so interesting, that I think there is a lot to pick from and explore.<ref name="thr-100319"/>

* ''[[Rekha Sharma]] ([[TRS]]'s [[Tory Foster]]) initial reaction to the news via Twitter:''

: Dear BSG fans, I think @samesmail @NBCUniversal are gonna do something great with BSG: not a remake! So lay down your sidearms and grab the ambrosia...
:And if it goes sideways, don't worry.
