Syfy's Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Not Going to Series
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & ChromeSorry, Battlestar Galactica, you’ve been grounded.
Syfy has decided not to order to series the prequel Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome.
Although an unofficial trailer screened at WonderCon this past weekend and made its way online, reigniting fan interest, the project will not be moving forward — at least as a TV series.
“We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date,†Syfy president Mark Stern said in a statement, adding that “our enthusiasm for this ambitious project has not waned.â€
The network announced the pickup of a two-hour pilot, which follows the early years of William Adama (played by Skins‘ Luke Pasqualino), nearly a year and a half ago (in October 2010). But because of intensive post-production work, the final product was not delivered until last November, reports Deadline.
