    The Caprica pilot has been granted a series for 2010. From Variety:
    Sci Fi Channel has greenlit "Caprica," the much-anticipated prequel to hit series "Battlestar Galactica."

    "Caprica" will star Eric Stoltz, Esai Morales, Paula Malcomson and Polly Walker, and will be set 50 years prior to "Galactica's" seminal attack on human civilization by those dreaded 'droids the Cylons. Family-drama-themed series will focus on the Earthlike planet of Caprica as two rival families deal with, among other topical issues, the broader implications of their society's emerging artificial intelligence technology sector.

    Battlestar Galactica Prequel Approved


    Sci Fi Channel president Dave Howe has announced that the channel has ordered 22 hours of 'Caprica', a series that will be a prequel to 'Battlestar Galactica'. The show will be shot in Vancouver next year with a premiere expected in 2010.

    The show is set half a century prior to Battlestar Galactica. According to Mark Stern, Sci Fi's executive vice president of original programming, the show is not as dark but the characters deal with the same issues in a transitional world.

    "'Caprica' will build on 'Battlestar Galactica's' acclaimed legacy of gripping drama and extraordinary characters. It's the beginning of a brand new epic saga that will appeal to both new viewers... and passionate 'Battlestar' fans," said Howe.
