Occasionally, it can slip one’s mind that the “Battlestar Galactica” series broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel from 2003 to 2009 (including the miniseries) was essentially a remake of the initial show that aired for a single season on ABC in the late ’70s. As often emphasized in the 2000s series, produced by Ronald D. Moore, “What has been will be again, what is seen will be seen once more.” In other words, there’ll likely be another reboot of “Battlestar Galactica” at some point, and it seems that Moore has set a condition for the new adaptation that, upon reflection, appears quite logical.
It’s worth noting that a new version of “Battlestar Galactica” might be quite a while away, given that Peacock abandoned the one they were working on last summer. Yet, during a recent episode of “The Sackhoff Show,” Katee Sackhoff (who played Starbuck) and the show’s producer Jeff Porter had a chat with Ronald D. Moore about his latest interview, and Tricia Helfer (Six in Battlestar) brought up her old conversation with Moore. This discussion occurred during the development phase of the streaming series.
At that moment, he clarified that they wouldn’t be able to create robot models resembling humans, or as I understand it, human-like Cylons.

Callum Keith Rennie Hopes Peacock’s Battlestar Galactica Reboot Will Surpass Its Predecessor: A Look at Why He Insists on Improvement
In an exclusive interview, Callum Keith Rennie, renowned actor from the critically-acclaimed series ‘Battlestar Galactica’, shares his thoughts about Peacock’s upcoming reboot and why he hopes it will surpass the original.
When asked about his expectations for the new Battlestar Galactica, Rennie expressed a strong desire to see the revival take the storytelling and character development to even greater heights than the beloved 2004 series. He emphasized that while the original was highly successful, there is always room for improvement and innovation in storytelling.
Rennie’s comments come as Peacock prepares to bring a new take on Ronald D. Moore’s classic space opera, with the production set to begin soon. Fans of the original series are eagerly awaiting any news about the revival and Rennie’s endorsement has added fuel to their excitement.
Moore shared this confidential detail with Helfer after finishing his appearance on the Battlestar Galacticast podcast, which she co-hosted with Marc Bernardin and wrapped up in 2020. At that point, Moore had already discussed his approval with Sam Esmail, who was overseeing Peacock’s Battlestar Galactica reboot. However, he made it clear that Esmail’s interpretation of the source material must exclude the human-like Cylons, a concept he pioneered in the 2000s version of Battlestar.
In Ronald D. Moore’s mythology for Battlestar Galactica, the robotic Cylons were guided by a band of humanoid robots that had secretly infiltrated human society in the Twelve Colonies. These synthetic humans were initially presented as seven different biological models (originally eight), each with multiple copies, and it was later revealed that they were descendants of the Thirteenth Tribe of Kobol, an ancient tribe residing on Earth. This idea set Battlestar Galactica apart from its earlier version, but it would have been prohibited if the Peacock series had continued, causing Katee Sackhoff to remark about it.
If you were to rework Battlestar Galactica and eliminate human Cylons, it seems there’s no way to recreate something similar, not even like Terminator. Instead, you’d have to return to the original concept, as this would be an entirely different series.
Essentially, Battlestar Galactica needs its robotic Cylons to maintain its original essence. However, the introduction of human-like Cylons in the 2000s series is a unique aspect that Ronald D. Moore might find repetitive when considering a reboot. As Katee Sackhoff pointed out, removing them would significantly alter the reboot, but it could be beneficial as it would push the creators to think outside the box, much like Moore did in the 90s.
As a die-hard fan of Battlestar Galactica, I’ve got to say, it was a real bummer when the Peacock production seemed to stall. But hey, let’s not jump to conclusions! The franchise might find its way back to our screens someday. You know, there was even talk of a Battlestar movie in the pipeline, but it seems like that project has been on ice for quite some time now. For the moment, though, if you’re craving more Battlestar action, you can always catch up with the 2000s series on Amazon Prime Video!
