Peacock pulls the plug on Sam Esmail’s Battlestar Galactica reboot

In 2019, Sam Esmail, the creator of Mr. Robot, disclosed that he was developing a new take on Battlestar Galactica, the classic sci-fi series from the late ’70s about humans fighting to survive after a devastating war against robots. It’s possible he’s reimagining the 2000s version of Battlestar Galactica, which brought the story into contemporary context. With popular, large-scale genre shows like Game of Thrones and Foundation currently dominating the scene, could it be time for another refresh of this series?
