Here’s the TL;DR … there is no new info. But it’s more complicated than that.

In Fall 2019, it was announced that Mr. Robot’s Sam Esmail was brought on to shepherd a Peacock-based BSG series. (We’ll ignore the question for now as to whether this is going to be a reboot, continuation, or something else. There is no known answer.)

In Fall 2020, it was announced that Michael Lesslie was going to be the showrunner. The following Spring, he departed the show. No replacement (nor any other additions to the staff) have been announced.

It should also be mentioned that Universal has been working on a Galactica movie for years, most recently with the X-Men franchise’s Simon Kinberg’s involvement. In January of 2022, he gave an interview and said they were hoping to announce a director soon (they didn’t) and that the movie and TV show would be a “shared universe.”

And that’s the last direct news we’ve heard.

However, there is another aspect to the (lack of) BSG news we have to consider: the business. To put it simply, streaming services are bleeding money and Peacock is no exception. Comcast (Universal and Peacock’s parent company) has lost more than $3 billion on Peacock since 2020. In fact, Peacock has lost more than $7 million a day in the first quarter of 2023. That is very definitely not good news. Simply put, BSG would be an expensive show to produce and Peacock may be loath to pursue an admittedly niche IP when purse strings are tightening. A movie, however, might still go forward if only because it’s not under the Peacock umbrella. In case it’s successful, maybe the Peacock series could get going again. Maybe.

(For further reading, here’s my blog post from last fall on this subject. Also, here’s my tongue-in-cheek proposal for a proposal for a trilogy of BSG films.)
