Is Syfy Planning Another 'Battlestar Galactica' Spinoff?
Cable channel is talking with Ronald D. Moore on a new project
"Caprica" is slowly growing an audience for Syfy, despite performing a bit below expectations. But that's not stopping the science-fiction cable channel from looking for yet another project they can set in the "Battlestar Galactica" universe.
Mark Stern, the network's executive vice president of original programming, told The Hollywood Reporter that he's been chatting with BSG and "Caprica" executive producer Ronald D. Moore about a possible third series in the signature franchise.
"We're looking for other ways to spin off 'Battlestar' beyond 'Caprica,'" Stern said. "That world is so rich. We're sitting down with Ron Moore and his team. It would not necessarily be a traditional series."
"Traditional" is a word that could have so many meanings. Some might say BSG wasn't a traditional series, and others could say "Sanctuary" -- before it was picked up by Syfy -- may not be traditional either. So what exactly could the project entail? And would it be on the tube, or maybe online?
Either way, Stern isn't talking.
