| As the series '''''[[Caprica (series)|Caprica]]''''' was cancelled during the airing of the second half of its first season, what is known about the planned '''Season 2''' comes from the Season 1 finale "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]"' epilogue "[[Apotheosis (episode)#Epilogue|The Shape of Things to Come]]" and official statements from the production staff. It should be noted that the canonicity of information contained in such statements is uncertain, as developments in the series ''[[Blood and Chrome|Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome]]'' may well contradict unaired ''Caprica'' plans, but they represent what the crew considered "to have happened" as of the ''Caprica'' cancellation.

| | |
| "The Shape of Things to Come" was filmed before word of ''Caprica'''s cancellation and represented a "sneak preview" of Season 2, set 5 years after Season 1.
| |
| | |
| Statements by showrunner [[Kevin Murphy]] in DVD commentaries on Season 1.5 episodes (recorded before the cancellation) reveal a number of Season 2 plotpoints:
| |
| *[[Jordan Duram]] survived the sniper attack and would have left the [[GDD]] and become head of a group called the Caprica Legionnaires, dedicated to destroying the [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]]s before they rose up and crushed their creators.
| |
| *[[Zoe-A]], in her new skinjob body, would have joined the Caprica Legionnaires, keeping her nature a secret.
| |
| *Zoe would have met one of the [[Final Five]] in [[V-world]], providing her with an element needed to create her skinjob body.
| |
| | |
| On April 29, 2011, Murphy conducted an interview with the online fan publication ''The Caprica Times'', in which he revealed several more details:<ref>[http://www.capricatimes.com/the-caprica-times-exclusive-interview-kevin-murphy ''The Caprica Times'' Exclusive Interview: Kevin Murphy]</ref>
| |
| *Flashbacks would have revealed that the Graystones had difficulty overcoming the "uncanny valley" problem when creating Zoe's body, until 3 years after "[[Apotheosis (episode)|Apotheosis]]", when Zoe noticed something strange that she followed through interlocking V-worlds "like the White Rabbit" until she came upon [[Galen Tyrol]] fishing at a beach. After Zoe explained who she was and why she was there, he gave her a fishing lure that turned out to be a piece of code crucial in completing her skinjob body.
| |
| *Duram becomes aware of Zoe's nature and keeps quiet in exchange for her assistance.
| |
| *No one in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica (TRS)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' era is aware that Skinjob Zoe existed because [[Daniel Graystone|her father]] went to such pains to keep her secret.
| |
| *[[Clarice Willow]] is a wanted terrorist as well as a Cylon rights activist and operator of a church in V-world where Cylons can go when they "power down".
| |
| *[[Lacy Rand]] is seen by [[Caprica (RDM)|Caprica]]ns as a crazy, "toaster-loving" leader keeping the peace on [[Gemenon (RDM)|Gemenon]] through her loyal [[U-87 Cyber Combat Unit|Centurion]]s, who follow her because a part of Zoe's "soul" has been imprinted on them.
| |
| *Circumstances force Clarice and Lacy into an "awkward marriage of convenience".
| |
| *[[Mother]] is still alive and interested in returning to power. [[Daniel Graystone]] reluctantly allies with her against the Clarice/Lacy coalition, which causes problems between him and Zoe when the latter finds out, as Lacy is her "once and future BFF".
| |
| *[[Bill Adama]] grows up angry at being named for his [[Willie Adama|dead older brother]].
| |
| *[[Joseph Adama]] carries on an extramarital affair with [[Fidelia Fazekas]].
| |
| *[[Tamara Adama]] was the basis for the [[Number Eight]] model and Zoe was the basis for the [[Number Six]] model. Murphy was unclear on this point, however, and recommended asking [[Jane Espenson]] or [[Michael Taylor]] for clarification.
| |
| **On May 5, 2011, Espenson confirmed on Twitter that the writers discussed this point, but it was not set in stone.<ref>[http://twitter.com/#!/JaneEspenson/status/66023637202903040 Tweet by Jane Espenson]</ref>
