Characters from Battlestar Galactica
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Despite its huge success, Battlestar Galactica had two spinoff series that were both canceled after one season. The original Battlestar series was a short-lived but cult-favorite sci-fi TV series broadcast in 1978. The show spawned the spinoff Galactica 1980 which lasted just ten episodes. Fast-forward to 2003, and a rebooted Battlestar series was testing the waters for the Sci-Fi Channel. Developed by Ronald D.

Battlestar Galactica's Spinoffs Were Canceled For Different Reasons Caprica did not last a full year, while Galactica 1980 ended after just three months Transplanting Battlestar’s dynamic yet philosophical feel left its spinoffs in a tight spot. Caprica was a prequel meant to explain the destruction of the Twelve Colonies. Because the outcome of the storyline is already pre-determined, any prequel must find an innovative way to be surprising.
Galactica 1980 was created to fill the hole left by the original Battlestar from 1978. The main challenge with sci-fi is the expense required to bring it to life. Everything from costumes to props to sets needs substantial labor to be believable. This can be a big risk for distributors if the return isn’t high enough early on. When they commissioned Galactica 1980, ABC wanted the original look and feel of Battlestar with a smaller price tag.
Why Caprica Deserved A Second Season SyFy's president canceled Caprica but spoke highly of it With huge shoes to fill and very little time to fill them, it’s not surprising that Caprica wasn’t perfect right out of the gate. Despite its issues, Caprica had promise. It had a unique subtlety that showed a deep understanding of the thread of tragedy that ran through Battlestar and its many devastating death scenes.
