From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction television series created by Glen A. Larson that aired on the ABC network from September 17, 1978, to April 29, 1979. It stars an ensemble cast led by Richard Hatch, Dirk Benedict and Lorne Greene.[1][2] Canceled after 24 episodes, the series was revived as Galactica 1980, which aired for 10 episodes from January 27 to May 4, 1980, and featured only Greene and Herbert Jefferson Jr. from the original series cast.[3][4]
Battlestar Galactica follows a group of human survivors fleeing the destruction of their homeworlds aboard the titular spacecraft, searching for a new home while being pursued by the Cylons, a fearsome society of robots intent on exterminating all humans. In Galactica 1980, set 30 years later, the fleet finds contemporary Earth with the Cylons still in pursuit.
The Battlestar Galactica franchise was rebooted on the Sci-Fi Channel with a 2003 miniseries and a 2004–2009 series, using new incarnations of some characters from the original series and inventing others.[5]
